"Dark Visions" by L.J. Smith. A book review.

My favorite thing about reading books by L.J. Smith is probably the fact that her books were mostly written in the late 1980's and 1990's--Before all the Twilight hype. When reading her books I remember that her vampires came first, and when I read something that I've read in Twilight I begin to wonder if Stephenie Meyer read these books too...

ANYWAY!

Dark Visions by L.J. Smith is a book that has three books in one. They consist of The Strange Power, The Possessed, and The Passion. In these books there is a group of 5 psychics, 2 girls and 3 boys, who are learning the extent of their abilities by attending an institute. The Institute turns out to be evil and after they learn the true intentions of the diabolical Mr. Zetes, they look to bringing him and his evil forces down.

Of course there is also a love story when the main character Kaitlin, must choose between the healer Rob, and the telepath Gabriel.

I thought the book/series was pretty good...but it is what it is, a teen novel.

I would recommend it for light reading and for those who enjoy teen novels, and psychics! (:
