Teenager Skylar Reid is upset when she learns that her neighbor Sasha, the child she babysits, has been kidnapped. Police believe Sasha was killed by her father who is also missing. Sky is also scared because she has been having strange dreams about Sasha. While Sky and her best friend Calvin are shopping, they meet a mysterious girl named Dana who tells Sky that she is a "Greater-Than", a person with mental powers. She believes Skylar also has those powers; and warns her that people are willing to kill for them. Dana is on a mission. She believes Sasha was kidnapped for evil purposes and wants Sky to join her in stopping them.

This young adult story is a mix of action, paranormal, and suspense. I was a little confused by the setting. It was either in an alternate universe where somethings are just a little different, or it may be futuristic.

The first half of the story was a little slow while the story was being set up. We met Sky, Calvin, Dana, and Dana's buddy Milo. All of the characters were well developed. The second half of the story had a lot more action. I was totally drawn into the story and didn't want to stop listening to it. The audiobook was narrated by Melanie Brockmann who did a very good job. My rating: 4 Stars.
