Sabrina, Gabby, Z, Justin and Andrew have their own unique quirks, or as others would say issues. They are brought together into a group therapy session. After they begin to experience small changes, these strangers regroup to find out that they were given a serum without their knowledge during the group session. They discover that the FBI is behind the serum, which gives each of them a psychic power. Why? To help solve the murder of a former FBI agent.

The book was an easy read. I enjoyed that the each character’s voice was heard throughout the story. Based on the ending, I’m assuming that this is the first in a series for these authors.

Releasing this book as part of lane1088’s science fiction book box. Sending this book to the next participant. Happy Travels!

I have a couple of bones to pick with this. First of all, the only SF element is the mysterious chemical administered to a collection of high school misfits, and it's not developed much. Does it activate latent talents, or generate random new ones? And is there really an antidote or not?

Worse, the FBI administers the chemical without any attempt at consent or even information. Would the FBI really do something like that? I go back and forth on this - what do you think?

The writing is good enough, the characters' motivations are plausible, and the plotting has some nice twists. This is pretty obviously a Young Adult book, and it would be a good one to share with any teens in your life who show some imagination.
