Summary:(Mind Reader Series, Book One) High school junior, Kylie Bates, can suddenly read minds. When she touches people’s hands, she’s able to see their deepest thoughts. As if that’s not freaky enough, her dad sends her to help hottie detective, Sam Williams, track down a missing girl. Way too much pressure, especially for a girl who can’t watch Scream without getting nightmares.
Then, finding the missing girl leads to much more than Kylie’s prepared for. Like discovering that her dad has been lying to her. That she has a family she never knew about. That the girls have powers similar to hers. Oh yeah, and that someone is out to get her.
When the detective’s teenage wanna-be-cop cousin, Trip Williams, approaches Kylie at school insisting she help him solve the case, she discovers Trip might be the only one she can trust, and the only one to help her unravel the secrets behind her mysterious gift.

My thoughts:
I love the concept in the book. It left you wanting to know what was going to happen and the characters were easy to fall in love with. >_> Or maybe that’s just Trip. I absolutely loved  - Susan Hatler has fun easy writing to read. It sucks you right in.

The Review:
The characters were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Trip was easy to feel and understand.  Kylie was a little winy at first, but after she figured everything out she snapped out of it thanks to a spunky cousin of hers. If you don’t like her friend then trust your instincts because she is trouble in a form of-. You think I’m going to tell you?
The story has the bad guys and the not so bad guys, but still somewhat bad. The story is dark at times some times, but it is casually dark with bright comic moments that made you feel a giggle coming. It had the cute romance only a teenager can get away with.
Would I read the next? Yuppity. :)
