He needed her-and there wasn’t any money.

But she’d screwed up her art scholarship . . .

If she could have gone away to college, it might have been different. And the year after that, and the year after that. . . . In a little town like Thoroughfare she was bound to see them, and their parents, every day for the next year. After that, I’m out of high school and I hope I never see anyone from this place again.īut that was the other problem, of course. No one ever invited the witch no one thought that Kaitlyn, the lovely, spooky girl with the strange eyes, would want to go.Īnd I don’t care, Kaitlyn thought, her reflections coming around full circle. Marcy would never think of inviting Kaitlyn to her party because she wouldn’t think of doing something that had never been done before. They could shake their heads and say, “Oh, that Kaitlyn-she’s odd, but what would we do without her?” And that would be fine, as long as she was a part.īut it wouldn’t happen, ever. She’d settle for a place in the group that was securely her own. If they would only let her in-it wasn’t as if she insisted on being the most popular, the most admired, girl at school. At the same time there was a terrible longing inside her. She hated Pam and Marcy, and wanted them to die, or at least to have some gory accident that left them utterly broken and defeated and miserable. She couldn’t, so she doodled on the blue-lined page of her history notebook. Kait was listening, pretending not to listen, and fiercely wishing she could get away. Flynn’s gentle, apologetic voice was no competition for their excited whispers. She was sitting in history class, listening to Marcy Huang and Pam Sasseen plan a party for that weekend. You don’t invite the local witch to parties. And Kaitlyn must decide whom to trust.and whom to love. A link that threatens their sanity and their lives. Then one of the experiments traps the five teens in a psychic link. Together, Rob and Gabriel's opposing forces threaten the group's stability. Gabriel is aggressive and mysterious, a telepath concealing his true nature as a psychic vampire, feeding off of others' life energy.

Rob is kind and athletic, and heals people with his good energy. But those friendships quickly become complicated when Kait finds herself torn between two irresistible guys. Learning to hone her abilities with four other gifted students, Kait discovers the intensity of her power - and the joy of having true friends. Tired of being shunned, Kait accepts an invitation to attend the Zetes Institute, where she can have a fresh start and study with other psychic teens. Her haunting eyes and prophetic drawings have earned her a reputation as a witch. Kaitlyn Fairchild has always felt like an outsider in her small hometown.
