Teagan Frost is the only person she knows who has the power of psychokinesis, a skill she uses on a secret government team that spies on threats to the country. But on this one particularly risky job, someone turns up dead, and in a way that only Teagan could do. Suddenly, she and her team have less than 24 hours to solve the murder and clear her name, otherwise she's back to being poked and prodded by scientists. What results is an action-packed caper that travels all over Los Angeles and features tons of things flying through the air.
It's fun, funny, and a great light read for anyone who ever thought that the X-Men needed to lighten up a bit. My one gripe is that the author is obviously British, with lots of British spellings (kerb instead of curb, cos instead of 'cause) and names for things (pavements instead of sidewalks, trainers instead of sneakers). Generally speaking, Britishisms don't bother me, but when a book is set in Los Angeles and populated largely by non-white characters with criminal backgrounds, it blocks the suspension of belief just enough to be annoying. Otherwise, this was a lot of fun.
