She reads minds. He controls minds. Together, they might get out alive. I've seen into the minds of killers and have crawled into the darkest mental corners of humanity, but even I wasn’t prepared for this. I thought that when I turned 18 I would be released from my secret school of paranormal spies and free to follow my dreams and make my own life. That's what we all thought. Until I met Drake. Everything changed when I linked minds with the blond-haired boy strapped to that gurney. In my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined the dangerous truth behind my life. And now time is running out. We must work together to save ourselves and everyone we love. Before it's too late.

From USA Today bestselling author Karpov Kinrade comes an award-winning academy series full of romance and page-turning suspense. "She escaped, but she'll never be free." "Time held no meaning as my mind darted in and out of memories. Past and present collided to create a full-sensory collage out of my playing hide-n-seek with my best friends Luke—who always cheated by walking through walls when he was about to be caught—and Lucy; Mr. Caldrin critiquing my sketches and offering ideas to make them more realistic; targets changing faces, blending into the same person, their thoughts rippling through my mind like waves. Through it all, a demon stalked me from the shadows of my memories, never quite showing its face, but crouching, waiting. And then I dreamed...." Sam and Drake may have escaped the paranormal spy academy that had sinister plans for them, but they aren't free—not with a powerful Seeker after them.

What if he looked at me and ran away? Ana, reading my mind, tugged me to the door with a motherly smile. My heart clenched at the thought that Lucy and Luke should have basked in that smile over the last eighteen years. The injustice of it all renewed my motivation. She opened the door and Drake stepped forward, and for that moment, the world stopped spinning and time stood still. In my imagination, he hadn't been so tall. Tall and muscular. His blond-highlighted hair lay casually messy, and his crystal blue eyes held me in a long stare. He'd found a way to shave, and the chiseled strength of his jaw made my knees weak. When he smiled, warmth filled my stomach. "Sam." That was it, just one word, but he made it sound like it held all the secrets of the universe. His voice was deeper, huskier, than it had been in my mind. "Drake, it's really you." He reached for my hand. "It's really me." When his skin touched mine, lightning danced between us.
He pulled me close, breathing in the scent of me as our bodies touched. I nearly cried right there in his arms, just being held, feeling him. I never wanted to let go. But I had to. \\\*
