Synopsis

When Lissy James moves from California to Oklahoma, she finds herself in the middle of a teenage nightmare: a social scene to rival a Hollywood movie. And if understanding the hierarchy of the Goldens vs. the Nons isn't hard enough, Lissy's ever growing Aura Vision is getting harder and harder to hide, and if she's not careful, she's going to become a Non faster than you can say "freak."But it's becoming clear that Emory High has a few secrets of its own. Around the halls, the term "special powers" goes way beyond one's ability to attract the opposite sex, and there may be something more evil than the A-crowd lurking in the classrooms. Lissy can see a lot more than the average girl, but she's about to learn the hard way that things aren't always as they appear and you can't always judge a girl by her lip gloss.

I've asked other librarians, I've submitted it to 'name that book' groups, only to come up with nothing. I eventually thought that I either I dreamed the......more

Goodreads review by Rennai on January 28, 2018

This is a book that the target audience, teenage girls, should enjoy. Lissy moves from California to Oklahoma with her younger sister, mum and dad. She is not happy about going. She is also not happy with having her Sight, which allows her to see people's auras. Sight runs in the female side of her......more
