Summary from Goodreads:

When Bridget finds a dead cheerleader in the janitor’s closet, she becomes the killer’s next target. High school just got worse. It’s bad enough that she can hear the shocking truths that pass through her classmate’s heads. Now she has to worry about staying alive, and all clues point to the one person whose thoughts she can’t read - her boyfriend Terrence. Someone is taunting her, threatening to expose her secret. And when Bridget tries to single out her blackmailer, she’s nearly beaten to death by a mind controlled minion with fiery eyes. 

But when Bridget finally comes face-to-face with the killer, suddenly a horde of brainwashed students programmed to destroy her life doesn’t seem so bad.

Thoughts:
Oh my! Another book that definitely surprised me. It is not often that I started a book assuming that this book will be so and so and then got totally blown away by it. Bridget has been trying hard all her life to hide the fact that she can read minds. But when she accidentally discovered the body of a murdered cheerleader in her high school gym, things started spiralling out of her control.

Likes
I really love it when a book exceeds my expectations. First, I was curious as to who is the murderer of the cheerleader and the fact that Bridget was there and couldn't hear the murderer's thoughts was even more chilling. Is it human? Demons? Ghosts? So many things popped in my mind. And then all these strange things started happening. I even expected vampires at this point because of the whole mind controlling thing but no the revelation is totally unexpected.

Dislikes
I would really love it if the author explains more about Bridget's gift to read minds. How did she get that talent? All we know is that her father also have the same gift but not so much background is given about her dad.

I can't believe it's only 99 cents on Kindle. This book is awesome! There's no love triangle involved (yay) and the story will definitely hooked you.

Recommended for: fans of urban fantasy
Verdict: 4 stars.
