Schools for Psychics is quite interesting, although not as magical as I expected, and I found it clever and entertaining. I have become quite a fan of young adult fiction and of the theme of magic, so this Book filled those requirements well enough. I’m not sure if I would classify psychicness with magic but it is a fantastical ability and done magically well in this book.

Teddy has never really fit in and tends to have a knack for trouble which all stems from her ability to read people really well, so well she has been banned from gambling on the strip for cheating, not that they could prove it.

Now she is in trouble with a group of gangsters and owes them a hefty sum of money. So she goes to the strip in disguise to win back the money she owes and hopes she wins not only enough to pay back Mr. Russian thug but her parents  as well since to fund this expedition she took the money from their retirement account. But then things go wrong and she ends up in a car with a weird stranger telling her she is a psychic, hah!

She decided to trust the stranger and decided to sttend a school specially designated to helping psychics harness their abilities and get them into law enforcement work, in hopes of erasing her debts and making her adoptive parents proud. She will NOT disappoint them again.

Then if being a psychic in a school full of psychics wasn’t odd enough, then there are the break ins and missing students causing a stir in the school. At first it’s older students but then the mystery hits close to home as Teddy’s friends start getting hurt and disappearing. Apparently being psychic doesn’t work the way you and I think.

In the end, unfortunately, we are left with another mystery and a big ol’ cliffhanger. Lucky the book was good before that because I really hate a cliffhanger in a new series. Since this book just came out were looking at least a year to find out what happens next. Boo!

So yes this book is worth the read. Yes, it’s fun and entertaining. Yes, my little booklings, I would recommend it ( but if you hate waiting to see what happens maybe don’t start the series until it has been completed).

I give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks to NetGalley for offering me a chance to read and review this book .
