This series can proudly set up its float in the teen paranormal literature parade as it takes yet another spin on a popular theme. When Chloe is sent into rehab for seeing dead people she ends up in a group home with other "screwed up" teens. What she finds, however, is that rather than being schizo or autistic, all the teens in the home have special powers- powers that are being monitored and experimented on by the doctors who claim they're helping. Even better, the element of romance in this series is surprisingly refreshing when compared to most young adult literature. Overall, a very satisfying (if not too short) series that kept me from doing any homework whatsoever for at least three days.
Pros: There are no vampires in this series as the doctors in charge of "creation" thought they were rather silly creatures.
Cons: The concept of stunningly attractive werewolves (Jacob Black, anyone?) is a little lost on this author.
