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
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.*

This book was so good! I am so glad i bought the collector's edition, with all the books together! i couldn't put it down! I read all like 700 pgs. in 2 days! You can't resist falling in love with Gabriel's dark personality! I definitely recommend this book to all other L.J. Smith fans out there! Or just all readers in general! It's a great book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, January 6, 2004
By 
Raven tales (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Whilst LJ Smith's books are a good read, I do get narked with the characters sometimes. Most of the lead characters are too nice and any 'bad' characters are always gothy and into heavy metal. Goodie is sickly sweet and oh so nice blonde, baddie is hot but very nasty brunette (see how easy it is to follow the plot read the secret circle if you don't believe me) But back to this, this had a great starting point, but lost the plot slighty. LJS seemed to be really hitting us on the head with how 'bad' Gabriel was and how nice everyone else was, and of course the main female is so understanding and desired by all. Liked it but not as much as the Forbidden Game.
