Point of View: The story is written entirely in first person, from the perspective of Lila Loveday. Mental abilities such as telekinesis and telepathy have been in question for years, and this story depicts one situation of what could happen should some people be able to use a portion of their brain that others don’t, can do things that others cannot using only their minds. It persuades the reader to consider the potential of what could be, rather than strictly what is. Plot: The plot is one that may not be probable, but it is one that could be possible. The majority of the story takes place in Oceanside, a military town, but then starts road-tripping across the state. Location: The novel starts out in South London, but soon moves to California.

While other young adult novels can get away with youth having more mature personalities, they are usually the ones that fall into the genre of fantasy and sci-fi than just fiction. They were depicted as a seventeen-year-old female and two males in their early twenties, but sounded like a trio in their late twenties to mid-thirties. Writing Style: The novel was written in a way that made the main characters sound much older than they were supposed to be. Also, if you look closely enough, it appears as though there is faded print of other words layered beneath the synopsis. This not only adds visual interest, but are both indicative of different elements of the storyline. The back of the jacket is rather interesting, as it appears that there are two different versions of copy. It is rather attention grabbing because the majority of the cover is in shadowy shades, while the open doorway and the girl are in more clear, bright tones. She also learns that the murderer and his crew have special mind powers just like she does, and they now want Lila…Ĭover: The artwork on the front of this novel looks rather like a photograph of a girl running out the door. Lila soon discovers the guys are trying to keep a secret from her, that they are searching for her mother’s murderer with the help of their black-op military unit. Synopsis: When Lila is mugged and nearly loses control over her telekinetic ability, she runs to the only people she has ever been able to count on: her brother, Jack, and his best friend, Alex –whom she has had a crush on for years.
