"Because of what you are, the Believers will hunt you down "

That first line in the synopsis is what made me want to read this book, and I'm glad I did. Full disclosure: I didn't read the first book of this series, but I was able to follow along very easily. A group of teen psychics are being hunted by a fanatical church (cult) called The Believers, whose sole goal is to kill all of them because they consider them unnatural and dangerous. They don't just kill them though - they kidnap them and torture them to try to understand their powers so they can use that knowledge to fight fire with fire. They are about to find out, though, what happens when a group of very angry psychics decide to fight back.

This book had a lot of characters to try to remember but they were each well written and unique, so I didn't really have a problem with it. The powers the kids had were very interesting and again, very unique to each person. It was a very quick read because the pace moved along swiftly, and the ending was satisfying.

4/5 stars.

Everything feels so arbitrary and I just can't finish this one unfortunately. The pacing is slow, and the plot is dull.
