She was created for a purpose so revolutionary, someone was willing to kill for it. Seventeen-year-old Lexi Matthews keeps two secrets from her elite boarding school classmates-she’s the daughter of a famous and controversial geneticist, and she can influence people’s thoughts. But after new student Jack DeWeese heals her broken arm with an anything-but-simple touch, he forces Lexi to face a new reality-her abilities reach much further than speaking to the minds of others. After Lexi’s father goes missing and she receives threatening emails, she can’t decide whether to fall into Jack’s arms or run and hide. As Lexi seeks answers to what she and Jack are, she discovers a truth more unsettling than anything her science books can teach. And letting Jack into her life of secrets is not only a threat to her very existence, but it just might break her heart wide open.

Summary
This is an excellent, action packed book in which the pages seem to turn themselves. The main characters of this book are teenagers, but I would not consider it as only a young adult book. The intriguing plot and well developed characters offer something for readers of all ages. I was disappointed with the use of curse words, they were not needed. I was also disappointed with the ending, as there was no closure. I understand this is the first book in a series, but I prefer some closure. I would have given this book five stars but for these two points.
Violence There is a fair amount of violence, but not gruesome.
Language Too much cursing in my opinion for a young adult book.
