From the author of the Roswell High series, a teen with telepathic powers goes up against her friend-turned-enemy in what may be a battle for her life.

 

For Rae, being able to read her friends' minds has been hazardous, to say the least. But when it comes to her frenemy, Yana, not knowing her thoughts could be deadly . . .

 

Life is looking up for Rae now that the best friend who tried to kill her is under lock and key. Rae has made peace with her past, and the loss of her troubled mother, too. She's even embraced her special powers, so much so that she no longer feels like a freak show when she walks down the halls of her private high school. But that could also be because she and Anthony are finally an item. Rae's too busy walking arm and arm with her new boyfriend to notice anyone else.

 

Then Rae learns that Yana has escaped. Without knowing where her murderous ex-bestie is, Rae certainly can't read her thoughts. But one thing's for certain: there's even more reason for Yana to want Rae dead. Will Rae and Anthony be able to find Yana before she strikes again?
