“…a bewitchingly pulpy and enjoyable fast read.” Kirkus Reviews.
 
“This fast-paced plunge into ESP effectively blends the occult with the turmoil of adolescent romance.” School Library Journal.

“Told in the alternating voices of Gwen and Adrian, this novel is more than a typical fantasy/science fiction exploration of psychic powers. Nicely developed subplots deal with romance, friendship, and family relationships. ” VOYA

“What will keep readers going are Gwen and, particularly, compelling Adrian.” Booklist “...fun, somewhat fantastical read…” Publisher’s Weekly

“Both romance and supernatural fiction fans will find much to enjoy when the attractive cover lures them to pick up this satisfying YA title set in Ontario, Canada.” Children’s Literature

"They learn hard lessons about each other when a series of near-tragedies reveal the conflicting motives behind their behaviors, with neither completely innocent nor completely guilty; the question is whether they can work together to become a force for good." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.

"The story begins with Gwen, the unpopular, chunky underdog, looking like the more likeable character, and Adrian playing the unfeeling user. However, for me, Adrian was the better character. He really comes through in the end and puts everything together so he and Gwen can be together." Reviewed by: Karin Perry, TeensReadToo.com

There are plenty of good books in stores today, but it’s always great to find a truly unique idea instead of overused fantasy clichés. One mind-bending new story is “Powers” by Deborah Lynn Jacobs." Sarah Abbott, From Flipside, The Site for all Things Teen.
