Always hungry for a new series to read, I picked this one up after having it recommended to me. Since the author has a free prequel on her site, I went ahead & read that (I figured that since it was free, it was a good way to check the series out) & was intrigued enough to pick up this book. 
 The book follows Kaylee, a young teenager who has a serious problem- every once in a while she'll suffer from panic attacks and start screaming uncontrollably. She knows that certain people trigger these attacks, but assumes that it's part of a mental illness. After she meets the school hunk Nash, Kaylee assumes that as soon as he learns her secret, he'll treat her like a pariah like her cousin Sophie does. To her surprise, not only is he interested in her, but he seems to know something about her condition that she doesn't! 
 I really did like this book. I loved how the characters interact, although I would've liked to have seen more interaction between Kaylee & her aunt, uncle & cousin other than what I saw. (Most of which was Kaylee storming out of the house or refusing to talk to them.) I did like the chemistry between Kaylee & Nash, some of which leads into some interesting questions for upcoming books. (Such as whether he's more interested in her because of her abilities than her herself.) 
 The one thing that I just didn't like as much was the ending. It just didn't really fit in for me & I really wish that there'd been a bit more of a buildup for it. I understand that this first book is going to have a lot of setting up for the series, but I just didn't really see how the villain could do what they did- it just seemed a little out of character for them. Maybe if there'd been more development for their reasons, perhaps this would've been more likely, but it just sort of felt like a copout- like the author was limited to a certain amount of pages (something common in teen books) or if she just wanted to end the book so she could work on the next one. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of the book. 
 Overall though, this book really is nice & if the author can iron out the wrinkles, this has a lot of promise as a series. I'd like to see the series better fleshed out, hopefully, but overall if you are looking for something in the same tone, read the 'Sweep' series by Cate Tiernan.
