Aversion (The Mentalist Series #1) by Kenechi Udogu
Expected Release Date: December 3rd 2012
For Gemma Green’s first time, things should have been straightforward. Find your subject, hold their gaze and push a thought into their head to save them from future disaster – Aversion complete. A pretty simple process given that the subject was to have no recollection of the experience. But Russ Tanner doesn’t seem to want to forget. In fact the more she tries to avoid him, the more he pushes to get to know her. Gemma knows she has a problem but is she facing the side effects of a failed Aversion or has the school’s tennis champ really fallen for her?
Mini Excerpt (First Paragraph)
My name is Gemma Green and I am
an Averter. You’re probably wondering what that means and why it is important
for me to state that I am one. On the surface there is not much difference
between me and most other fifteen year old girls, except for the fact that I
have the ability to alter people’s minds and stop them from carrying out
actions that will unhinge their predestined life paths. I know it sounds
impossible but trust me, it’s true. Only another Averter will be able to tell
what I am from sight. Well, not really sight. We have the ability to sense
things that others overlook. For example, I always know when I’m being lied to.
I can’t tell what the exact lie is but I get a knot in my stomach every time I
hear one; the bigger the lie, the tighter the knot. It’s clearly not the most
enjoyable ability for anyone to have but the older we get, the easier it
becomes to tune the feelings out. You eventually get to a point where the only
person’s emotions you can tune into is the person you are assigned to. But I’ll
get to that later.
Kenechi lives in London and enjoys writing fantasy fiction and short stories (some of which she posts on her blog). She also hates the cold and hopes to one day figure out how to hibernate in winter.
Simple but pretty pearly cover!
