Blurb:

Mackenzie Day constantly struggles to silence the voices in her head. The inner thoughts of those around her intrude upon every aspect of her life, threatening to turn it into chaos. All her life, she thought she was alone as a mind reader--a freak. Then a member of a secret organization called The Unseen suddenly introduces himself, and she's immersed in a world she never knew existed. They teach her to hone her skills as a reader, but to what end? Secrets surround her, humming just out of reach, filling her with questions. Who are they? What do they do with their mind-reading abilities? In the end, just how far will Mackenzie go to be part of The Unseen?

My Review:
 <Sigh>, I really, really wanted to like this book. Mackenzie Day is a mind reader. She thinks she is the only mind reader until she meets Owen. He introduces her to the Unseen, a group of mind readers that fights the bad guys. There are several things that I did like about this book. I like the idea of a group of mind readers. I like the concept of music therapy. I liked Owen and the other characters introduced. My main problem was Mackenzie Day. She complained the entire book about being alone and having no one like her and etc. Yet when she was introduced to others like her she balks at joining them even when they make exceptions for her. She complains, a lot. That is one of my personal pet peeves in a book. Other than that it was an okay book. For me the last quarter of the book was the best. If Mac keeps the same mindset in the next book I will be first in line to buy it.
