What a unique concept! The world has evolved to a time when everyone can read each others' minds...well, almost everyone. Those who can't are called Zeros and aren't trusted. They're second class citizens. Unfortunately for Kira, she's now passed the age when everyone develops their mind-reading skills and is having to come to terms with the horrible fact that she will have to live her life as a zero. Until things get even worse! 
 One day she unexpectedly connects with her friend Raf's mind and almost kills him. Turns out that she's a "mindjacker". She can't read minds in the traditional way but she can link into other people's minds and command them. 
 The futuristic world created by the author is both intriguing and scary...after all, I wouldn't want anyone knowing what I was thinking 24/7!! In a world where secrets are hard to keep, anything can happen. I enjoyed reading the descriptions of what it is like to go to school, the interesting gadgets that can be commanded by your mind and about the sensitivity around relationships all due to the fact that everyone knows each others thoughts. 
 The characters in this book are great. Kira is strong and very likeable. She is thrown into many strange and scary situations and she shows herself not only as a brave person but as a caring one as well. Raf is Kira's best friend and the only one willing to continue to have her back even though he thinks she's a Zero. He's a solid presence in her crazy world. Simon is a jacker. He teaches Kira about the mindjacking world but he also leads her into danger. He's a darker character, one I wasn't sure I should trust. But he was so well written, that I couldn't help but enjoy reading about him. And maybe even liking him a little bit...OK..a lot! There are many bad guys in this story...all very three dimensional, all planning evil and all easy to dislike! 
 The plot is filled not only with colorful characters but also with twist and turns. Once Kira is immersed in the jacker world, she has to use her intellect and her new-found jacker abilities to set things right. Trusting people and being trusted is a luxury in this world and Kira must have her whits about her at all times if she's to navigate through its dangerous paths. 
 I must admit that the book dragged a bit for me early on and that I found the futuristic terminology (words like "mesh" and "demens") were used a little too often in the beginning for my liking (although this was probably done to get the reader used to them). But that was easily overlooked because once this story gets going, there's no stopping it. The pace is fast and the story is action-packed. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next!
