The Gifted: Book One: Evan

"I'm not in love with Alice Stevens, she's just a very sexy recurring dream." At least that's what Evan thought until the sulfurous redhead shows up in his algebra class on a sunny afternoon and proves him wrong. That's when he finds out he is gifted just like her: mind reading, dream walking and persuasion are just the beginning, and with a little help from Alice, Evan learns how to shield himself from other people's powers, a rare talent even amongst the gifted. Alice reveals she has an ulterior motive in training Evan: she needs his help to prevent her power-hungry father from causing further harm to society and intends to steal his private journal so she can expose him to the world. Evan half-heartedly agrees to help and infiltrates the mansion with Alice. But Alice is captured and Evan loses his powers, barely escaping thanks to the help of Jamie, Alice's sister. They must now work together to recover Evan's powers and rescue Alice, before it is too late...
