Rating: 4.5/5
Review: Another fast-paced novel by McMann, but this one has a little more depth. There are actual paragraphs for one thing. For another, there's more intensity and a lot more character interaction. Janie is getting better at controlling her ability, but there are some nasty side effects that she has to look forward to according to her mentor's journal. She going to go completely blind, which has already started to happen. She's going to lose the use of her hands. She can never drive again, unless she doesn't care about killing innocent people. The only way she can avoid the blindness and crippled hands would be to isolate herself completely. To top things off, she's working on a case with Cabel and Captain that could push her completely over the edge. There's a sexual predator at the high school, and it's Janie's uncomfortable job of fishing him out. She's definitely way in over her head here, and I was actually getting increasingly worried for her. I like Janie, she has a good head on her shoulders, and she's very spunky, but she needs to learn what she can and can't handle. McMann has a great ability to keep her readers hooked and begging for more.
Book Description: Janie and Cabel have a dangerous new assignment. At their high school, rumors are rampant that teachers are using date-rape drugs on students. Called in to investigate, the pair tap into the nightmares of a troubled female classmate. Alarmed by what they discover, they decide to probe deeper, using Janie as bait. This extreme strategy endangers Janie, but as they soon discover, that's only the half of it….
