*NetGalley ARC* (thank you!)
I liked this but I really wished it had full-color illustrations! The premise of teens developing psychic powers that help them to stop crimes before they happen is pretty cool. I appreciated the different spin that the author gave this premise. The red and black auras reminded me of the duality that is given to man in something like Jeykell and Hyde - the notion that a grey area doesn't exist in every person, but it does! And what do we make of that? Do we give a person who *might* commit a violence act the opportunity to? Do we put them away before the have the chance? Or do we try to change the course? All super interesting questions!
