BLURB:
These
are the facts: My name is Callie Sinclair. I am seventeen years old. I live in
San Francisco. I love my boyfriend, Charlie. I work for a secret governmental
agency. I am a psychic spy. This romantic, action-packed twist on the classic
spy novel is perfect for fans of Ally Carter’s Embassy Row series or for any
reader who enjoys cinematic writing and stories of romance and intrigue.
At seventeen, Callie is
the government’s youngest psychic spy, trained to track dangerous people and
weapons in her visions. When another young—and handsome and witty—psychic joins
the agency, Callie’s personal and professional lives get messy all at once. If
she can’t find a way to change the events she’s seen in her visions, she could
lose the people she loves most . . . and her mind. Literally.
Richly painted against
the backdrop of San Francisco and Berkeley, Lauren Sabel’s enthralling novel
captures the thrill of exploring a unique power in a dangerous world.

EXCERPTS (Exclusive Excerpt):
Chapter Two
Right now, all over the world, there are psychics searching
for dangerous weapons, biological hazards, serial killers. But you’ll never
know about it. The government will deny it. “That is not reliable information,”
they will say, not mentioning the hundreds of psychics behind closed doors,
accurately finding kidnapped people and murder victims. They won’t tell you
about how some minds can see below the ground, above the earth, backward and
forward in time. And they won’t tell you that some of them are housed in mental
institutions, or that one of them is your neighbor, or that one of them is
below the legal voting age. Or that, for those people, life is a secret they
can’t share, so they are always alone, except for one place: in their own
minds.
Indigo and I may be done viewing for the day, but that
doesn’t mean I can go home. Our monthly training, as short as it may be, comes
way too often for my taste. I sigh and lean back against the couch cushions, my
body stiff from hours of viewing.
While Indigo leaves the viewing room to drop the sealed
manila envelope into the Completed Sessions file, I crumple up the paper with
the word NORMAL on it. He’s always saying how lucky I am to have such a gift at
my age, and I don’t want him to know the truth: that sometimes my ability feels
less like a blessing, and more like a curse, pain reserved only for me. I mean,
what if I don’t want to see the future? What if I just want a normal life? I
toss the crumpled-up paper at the trash can, but it bounces off the edge and
rolls across the floor. I pick it up, back up a few feet, and throw it again,
but I’m an inch too far to the left.
“So much for practice making perfect,” I mutter under my
breath.
