Book Description

September 8, 2009 Dark Visions
GIFTED AND CURSED

Kaitlyn Fairchild has always felt like an outsider in her small hometown. Her haunting eyes and prophetic drawings have earned her a reputation as a witch. But Kait's not a witch: She's a psychic. Tired of being shunned, Kait accepts an invitation to attend the Zetes Institute, where she can have a fresh start and study with other psychic teens.

Learning to hone her abilities with four other gifted students, Kait discovers the intensity of her power -- and the joy of having true friends. But those friendships quickly become complicated when Kait finds herself torn between two irresistible guys. Rob is kind and athletic, and heals people with his good energy. Gabriel is aggressive and mysterious, a telepath concealing his true nature as a psychic vampire, feeding off of others' life energy. Together, Rob and Gabriel's opposing forces threaten the group's stability.

Then one of the experiments traps the five teens in a psychic link. A link that threatens their sanity and their lives. And Kaitlyn must decide whom to trust...and whom to love.

More About the Author

Let's see, I've known that I wanted to be a writer since I was about six, when a teacher praised a horrible poem I'd written. I wrote my first book in high school, finishing it in my first year of college. Then I became a special ed teacher before I was able to become a writer full-time. That's about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasitic! Smith's Best Work! February 28, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This novel follows the adventures of five physcic both blessed and cursed because of their power. Rob is the healer, Anna manipulates animals, Lewis is the quick talking "mind over matter" guy, Gabriel, the physic vampire, and Kaitlyn , the witch.

Five teens invited to live together in a purple mansion called "The Insitute", to inhance their powers and be given the scholarship of a life time. And who would be so kind as to do this? Mr.Zetes.

Of course there's a catch.

Whe the five learn of the Insitutes horribl past they realise their lives are in danger and they have to escape.

But there is no where to hide that they can't be found.

This book is a real page turner. Gabriel, Lewis and Kaitlyn are fantastic, belivable characters. Gabriel and his interactions with Kait truely are the highlight of the novel. He is a bad guy who grows a strong but unwanted relationship to a headstrong witch.

Witty remarks, believable characters and a thrilling "love triangle" all contribute to this clever and romantic science fiction thriller.

*But the title page really doesen't do the book justice.*

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite must-read! November 9, 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This was the first series by L.J. Smith that I had ever read, and now I've read the Forbidden Game and Night World and Secret Circle series. What I love about these books was, although good does triumph over evil (as always) it was nice to see dark triumph over light. If you don't get what I mean, then you have to read the book. Then I'm sure you'll agree. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK.
