Review: School for Psychics by K.C. Archer

***This book was provided by Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.***


An entrancing new series starring a funny, impulsive, and sometimes self-congratulatory young woman who discovers she has psychic abilities—and then must decide whether she will use her skills for good or…not.

Teddy Cannon isn’t your typical twenty-something woman. She’s resourceful. She’s bright. She’s scrappy. She can also read people with uncanny precision. What she doesn’t realize: she’s actually psychic.

When a series of bad decisions leads Teddy to a run-in with the police, a mysterious stranger intervenes. He invites her to apply to the School for Psychics, a facility hidden off the coast of San Francisco where students are trained like Delta Force operatives: it’s competitive, cutthroat, and highly secretive. They’ll learn telepathy, telekinesis, investigative skills, and SWAT tactics. And if students survive their training, they go on to serve at the highest levels of government, using their skills to protect America, and the world.

In class, Teddy befriends Lucas, a rebel without a cause who can start and manipulate fire; Jillian, a hipster who can mediate communication between animals and humans; and Molly, a hacker who can apprehend the emotional state of another individual. But just as Teddy feels like she’s found where she might belong, strange things begin to happen: break-ins, missing students, and more. It leads Teddy to accept a dangerous mission that will ultimately cause her to question everything—her teachers, her friends, her family, and even herself.

Set in a world very much like our own, School for Psychics is the first book in a stay-up-all night series.

Review:
5 Stars

My first thoughts upon starting this book were "What took me so long?". This book was very engaging and had a great story. 

Teddy has always felt off. She hasn't felt right in the life she is living. An encounter at the nick of time shows her the window to a whole new future. A future that could help her understand what she has been feeling all of her life. A chance to find out where she came from. 

Throughout the book you follow Teddy and her group through misadventures and boundary testing. Each outing leading them deeper down the rabbit whole. 

What follows is a thrilling conclusion that is going to leave you salivating for the next installment. I can't wait to see where this series goes.
