|summary=Action-packed thriller has some interesting points but can't overcome a lack of any likeable characters.

Fia and Annie's parents died 7 seven years ago. 5 Five years ago, they were brought to a mysterious school where they are being trained to hone their special talents. Annie, who's blind, is a Seer who has visions of events and people, while Fia has perfect instincts - which makes her perfect for committing crimes. The pair are each threatened to ensure their twin's loyalty to the shadowy people running the organisation they work for - but has the time come for them to rebel?
This works reasonably well as a short, quick read, with some good, well-described, action scenes. White has created an interesting world where some people possess a variety of psychic talents. It's really fast-paced and the flashbacks to earlier times are a good way of introducing the backstory of the two sisters.
