Andrea Murray's Reviews > Aversion
Aversion (The Mentalist Series, #1)

I received a copy of this novel free from the David Estes Fans and YA Book Lovers Unite group and/or the author in exchange for a honest review.
I gave this novel 3.5 stars for a couple of reasons. I loved the idea. I mean, who wouldn't want to have Gemma's abilities! I liked the character although at times her logic seemed strange to me. I know she's a mercurial teenager, but some of her decisions and thinking seemed a little off to me.
I also felt a little lost at times, like I needed more background earlier in the novel. This is Gemma's journey to self-discovery in a way, but I was confused at times, and when Gemma's world gets rocked by revelations of her heritage and abilities, I had to go back and reread because I wasn't exactly clear on her established beliefs.
The relationship between Russ and Gemma was interesting. I can definitely see some great plot twists in the future.
