Harry Potter went to a special school for wizards where he learned to control his powers. Teddy Cannon is going to a school where she is learning to control and use her psychic abilities.
When the story begins, Teddy has been banned from every poker table in Las Vegas. She has disguised herself and is sneaking into one. A lot of money is needed, and it is needed fast.
Even though her winning streaks are almost unstoppable because she somehow knows the cards the other players are holding and knows what they are thinking, it never enters her mind that she could be a psychic. But a good-looking man is keeping his eye on her. Her nervousness messes things up, and she tries to flee. This man stops her, clues her into the fact that she is a psychic, and invites her to attend the Whitfield Institute, a school for psychics.
She is told that at this school she will learn to not only control her psychic abilities, but she will be taught how to better them and use them for the greater good.
She does learn at this school, but she also senses that something isn’t quite right. And that something puts her life and the life of those around her in danger. Something is crooked at the Whitfield Institute.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes. I enjoyed it immensely. Filled with mystery, romance, betrayal, and possible government secrets, this book with all its twists and turns keep you guessing what is going to happen next.
Did the book remind me of the Harry Potter series? Just a little. I guess a special school for psychics could be compared to a school for wizards. And something crooked is going on at Whitfield Institute just as something bad was going on at Harry Potter’s school.
The book is filled with mystery, romance, betrayal, and possible government secrets. If Teddy learns nothing else at this school, she learns what it is to be a true friend.
