The story:

One month into her junior year, sixteen-year-old Violet McKenna transfers to the Winterhaven School in New York’s Hudson Valley, inexplicably drawn to the boarding school with high hopes. Leaving Atlanta behind, she’s looking forward to a fresh start--a new school, and new classmates who will not know her deepest, darkest secret, the one she’s tried to hide all her life: strange, foreboding visions of the future. 

But Winterhaven has secrets of its own, secrets that run far deeper than Violet’s. Everyone there--every student, every teacher--has psychic abilities, 'gifts and talents,' they like to call them. Once the initial shock of discovery wears off, Violet realizes that the school is a safe haven for people like her. Soon, Violet has a new circle of friends, a new life, and maybe even a boyfriend--Aidan Gray, perhaps the smartest, hottest guy at Winterhaven. 

Only there’s more to Aidan than meets the eye--much, much more. And once she learns the horrible truth, there’s no turning back from her destiny. Their destiny. Together, Violet and Aidan must face a common enemy--if only they can do so without destroying each other first

The view of a book addict:

I really loved this book, I had no trouble getting into the story. It’s been called a mix between X-men and Twilight. But I don’t think that does any justice to the story. It’s a story on it’s own with great characters and a great storyline.

I don’t think I ever read a book where I liked all the characters, but I did with this book. Although the story moves in a fast pace you get a lot of time to get to know the characters in this book. And you can’t help but hope that everything will turn out to be alright at the end of the book.

The verdict of a book addict:

This is a great book, if you love a great young adult novel with action, romance and mystery this is your book!
