This book was one of those fun books that you just don't want to put down. I stayed up way too late reading to finish it. I was reminded of "The Magicians" by Lev Grossman, primarily because of the setting as an adult school for people with special abilities. But I didn't like "The Magicians" and I really enjoyed "School for Psychics." It was more hopeful and the characters weren't so gloomy. Teddy, the main character, certainly had struggles, but she was working through them and really wanted to improve. Because the setting was a school, at times I forgot that the characters were adults. There were cultural references in the book that might not make sense in a few years if they are fairly short-lived. I will definitely pick up the next book in the series to see where it goes.

Psychological thrillers and literary fiction are usually the corners of the bookstores I live in. So when I saw the cover of School for Psychics by K.C. Archer, I assumed it fell into the same category. When I started reading it, though, I immediately realized that I was wrong. But that didn't stop me from finishing this book in record time. While I moved away from the genres I normally love to read, School for Psychics was a fun, action-packed page-turner that has me counting down the days until the next series installment. 

School for Psychics follows Teddy Cannon's transition from card shark being hunted down by gangs to recruit for a top-secret school for psychics. Part privately funded, part government controlled, the School for Psychics works to train assets that will be placed in various military and government positions. Of course, that's just what's happening on the surface. The longer Teddy stays at the school, the more secrets--about her past and about the school--begin to surface. But her biggest challenge isn't figuring out these secrets or acing her exams, or controlling her psychic abilities, but figuring out how to be part of a team and learning how to trust her fellow classmates. If she doesn't, it can cost her--and her classmates--her life. 

What I loved about reading this book is what I loved about watching ABC's Quantico: it was a light read, entertaining, and threw adults into a school-like setting that pushed them to their emotional and physical limits. In Teddy, we have a (somewhat cliched) heroine who is used to working alone and taking care of herself. The cast of characters is both unsurprising and eclectic: the bad boy, the eccentric hippie, the computer genius, the type-A control freak. The fact that the way they interacted could be guessed made this an extremely enjoyable, light read that didn't keep me up all night because I was terrified, but because I was so ensconced in the story.

The School for Psychics is an entertaining read, especially for fans of cross-over Contemporary Young Adult, New Adult, and Paranormal Romance.

I received this ARC via netgalley and am providing my honest review.

An orphan finds out she has an unusual ability and is invited to attend a school which can teach her how to use it.
"You're a wizard psychic, Teddy."
"Imawhot?"

Teddy Cannon is a gambling addict and a psychic. She has the ability to "read" people, which makes gambling easy for her. Through her education at Whitley college, she learns that she is has much more potential than she originally thought (view spoiler). She's not a good friend, she's selfish, impulsive and immature. She's also not funny, despite all the jokes she makes. She constantly thinks about how badly she wants to change and be good, but at the same time she makes bad decisions and does nothing to show her changing. For example, one-night stands and breaking school rules by partying and drinking. Even after she had hurt someone's feelings after the one-night stand and had been given a warning for drinking and partying. I'm really not a fan of her.

There are two groups/factions at the school: Misfits and Alphas. Teddy joins the Misfits and they become her friends. From my understanding, they are basically the "Not Alpha" group. The Alphas are the students who are fit, skilled and talented. They are described as being the rivals to the Misfits, and are basically what Superheroes are to Sidekicks (think Sky High), however I didn't really see that in the book. True, the two groups are pitted against each other in a couple of class assignments, but other than that there isn't any real reason for the Misfits to be bitter against the Alphas as a group. They just didn't seem that bad to me.

There is a love triangle between Teddy, Pyro (a student) and Nick (a FBI agent/instructor) which doesn't completely make sense to me. Pyro's character didn't completely make sense to me and I felt that he didn't quite provide anything to the story other than a love triangle conflict for Teddy.

One of the most compelling parts of this book for me was that it's a New Adult fantasy book, which is rather rare. I mean, a college-setting fantasy about people with special psychic powers? Yes, please! However, if it weren't for the sexual implications and the ages of the characters, it would feel and read like a young adult. I'm unsure if that's just because New Adult is still an emerging genre and doesn't have it's own "feel" or if I'm just used to young adult, but either way it wasn't what I expected.

As for the writing, it wasn't my favorite. Many times I was confused. For example, the time jumps were confusing sometimes. A couple times, I had to go back to figure out which part of the semester I was at. Maybe that was just my own stupidity. Also, often the author repeated information which was unnecessary and a bit obnoxious.
The only thing she could do now was stall until Jillian, Pyro and Dara arrived.
"What are you doing, Jeremy?" She asked, buying time."
She just thought about stalling time, so obviously her question is an attempt to stall/buy time! This happened too often for my comfort. It's such a small, nitpicky thing and doesn't really matter all that much, but it mattered enough to me to mention.

I still found that the story was worth reading, but I don't see myself reading the second book in the series. If this were to become a show or movie, I would watch it.

An enjoyable fast-read when it came to the ‘psychic powers’ theme. I really liked the premise: a young woman who’s been making questionable decisions, and gets a second chance in a school for people with psychic abilities, where they’re trained to protect and server… but a few people on the inside have different agendas, and it’s a constant game of trying to figure out what’s at stake, and if it’s going to be a bunch of revelations, or something much more lethal. The powers the students have are varied, ranging from precognition to telepathy and even pyrokinesis, and I liked how the novel tried to bring a scientific approach to it: after all, they’re training people who’re going to end up working for the FBI or NSA.

The first scene also engaged me from the beginning, what’s with Teddy being banned from Las Vegas casinos, but still sneaking into one, disguised as a different woman, to hopefully win the money she owes a Russian crime boss, because otherwise her own parents will be targeted. Well, OK, nevermind that she should never have let things go that far, all the more if she’s so good at reading people at the poker table, but ‘questionable decisions’ being a key here, alright, I can go with that.

On the other hand, I never really got a good feeling for Teddy, or for the other characters. Some of them had a sort of ‘larger than life’ vibe, with their quirks (the animal medium who likes doing yoga naked, the ex-cop who’s a charmer and can literally set things on fire, the hacker who’s also an empath…); but they remained fairly one-dimensional. Teddy barely thought of her family except in the beginning, we know nothing of the others except for a couple of things like ‘his family’s rich and he has a boat’, and so when the story took a more action/heist-oriented turn, it was hard to root for them.

The other thing I didn’t like—and which contributed to my not enjoying the sotry as much as I hoped—was the globally juvenile aspects. These people are 20-something (Teddy’s 24, and Pyro must be at least 25 considering he served in the police for some time, and I doubt you just start there at 15 or so), but the whole Whitfield academy had a strong high school feeling, and I constantly thought I was reading a YA novel when in fact it was marketed as geared towards adult, with adult characters. I don’t mind YA in general, even though I have my gripes about a lot of books; I don’t think that ‘because it’s YA, it’s necessarily stupid and uninteresting.’ This said, the aforementioned gripes involve a certain number of tropes that I find cringe-worthy, such as the mandatory romance and love triangle, the professor who immediately favours certain students and begrudges the heroine and her friends, or the whole ‘school stars vs. misfits’ aspect. And those tropes were clearly present here, to the point of making me forget that those characters were, uh, two years from going to work for the FBI? Suspension of disbelief was then shattered every time forensics or the shooting range was mentioned; it’s like the story couldn’t make up his mind about whether it was meant to be about teenagers or about adult people.

Not sure if I’ll be interested in the sequel.

This was a 2.5 star read for me, rounded to 3.0 stars.

Thank you Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for this arc.

While I enjoyed the book and it was a pretty quick read, it definitely felt like YA to me..... young teens in some implausibly "adult" situations. Did I stay up all night reading it? No.
Was it fanciful? No again.

Do I remember any of the characters 4 days after I finished reading it? Nope again.

But I still thought it was better than whatever was on TV at the time.

I really should have liked this book more than I actually did. It’s reminiscent of X-men: individuals with special talents are recruited into a special school for training. Here, the talents are all psychic in nature. Teddy is in a lot of trouble when she’s recruited into the program: she’s been banned from casinos in Los Vegas, and card sharks are threatening both her and her family.

I love novels about schools catering to unique abilities, but this one was just okay. Their classes are interesting, but it just didn’t have the same amount of wonder and novelty I was expecting.

Perhaps it’s because I couldn’t really relate to Teddy. She’s a complex character, but in many ways she came away as seeming flat and undeveloped. I did find her origin story interesting, and I’m assuming that the sequel will have more information about that. But ultimately, I felt a bit “meh” about the whole novel.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC.

School for Psychics by K.C. Archer is the first book in the new School for Psychics paranormal young adult fantasy series. The main character in this series is Teddy Cannon, a twenty-something college dropout who has gotten herself deeply in debt in her hometown of Las Vegas. It does not take long for Teddy to get banned from the casinos for “cheating” which is something that she claims she has never done. Not to mention that she has a massive gambling debt that she owes to someone who wants nothing more than for her to pay off her debt.

When things become worse and the breaking point is near, Teddy meets Clint unexpectedly at the casino she is banned from. The night goes off track and soon Teddy is presented with the offer to attend a school far from home. If she chooses to attend her debts will be wiped cleaned and her family will be safe. The school is unlike any other because it is a school for psychics.

A story that is sure to draw you in and capture your attention from the beginning with unexpected twists and turns, mystery and intriguing. You will never expect what could be lurking just beyond the next page. School for Psychics is full of creative and interesting characters that are well developed with unique backstories that are truly out of this world. The setting is a picture-perfect campus that is located on an island not far from California.

If you love reading young adult paranormal fantasy novels, you should add this to your reading list. I really enjoyed reading School for Psychics and highly recommend this novel.

It has been a long time since I read a book and was so excite to see that it was the beginning of a series but his book was that!

Sadly I could not find it in me to finish reading this. The story meandered too much. I don't know that it would appeal to the less committed reader.

The School For Psychics moves at a steady pace and has an interesting storyl ine. I not really read any book based on psychics but i have thoroughly enjoyed other stories that center around special powers. I read this while i was power walking at the gym and i was drawn into the world every time. I especially enjoyed that though i thought who was the bad guys and who wasn't i really did not know. Their was enough twists and turns in this story to keep me guessing all the way to the end. I would really love to read and review the next one in the series and am thankfully i was selected for the first one.

Thank you to netgalley and the author/publisher for a copy of SCHOOL FOR PSYCHICS in exchange for an honest review.

I am completely intrigued by the concept of this book. It has such a reality realm that you forget that there is a fantasy perspective at play. When Teddy is invited to attend a special school on Angel Island in San Francisco she discovers she may have a unique psychic ability, but what begins as a growth opportunity and a second chance turns quickly into a much deeper darker experience than she signed up for. When her classmates start vanishing and secrets begin bubbling up to the surface, her world quickly turns into a life or death challenge.

Since this book is the first in a series, it is not surprising that the first half of the book was spent setting up the scene, building background and establishing the characters. The initial book of any series generally reads a little slower and dryer than the rest of the series. Archer, however, did a decent job of filling the book with useful information while still keeping the ball rolling. While it was not an edge of the seat page turner for the first half, it still held my attention and kept me engaged. At times there were so many things going on, and I knew they must intertwine somehow, but it almost felt like over stimulation. The pacing was not as smooth as I would hope.

That said, a note on the positives. For one, I really liked Teddy. She is a bit rough around the edges, but quirky can be good and I think she is a likable character. Also, I enjoy the fact these unique, but otherwise ordinary individuals get a chance to work in a secret government sector. I am curious enough to read book two and give these psychics another opportunity to win my heart over.

SCHOOL FOR PSYCHICS by KC Archer follows Teddy Cannon, a psychic who until recently didn't know she was a psychic, who enters a government approved training school for people with psychic abilities. Teddy meets an array of fellow students at the school, each of which has their own sorted tale. It becomes clear that Teddy has more psychic gifts than the others and Teddy uses her recent friendships and her special abilities to find the truth about the school, who her parents really were and why she is so important.
Archer creates a world similar to other recent book series that takes the reader to a secret school for people with special abilities. While many of the characters are well written and properly developed to match the amount they are a part of the story, at times I think Archer was throwing random tidbits out that seemed unnecessary and not particularly informative about some of the smaller characters in the book. The plot is a bit predictable but still fun and layered with twists, and the final climax scenes are exciting and fun to read. Archer also throws in a little love triangle, which at times was exciting, but other times it distracted from the story.
I like the premise and the main characters in SCHOOL FOR PSYCHICS and I would consider trying another book in the series if there is one.

K.C. Archer’s School for Psychics is the first novel in a new urban fantasy series of the same name. I was initially drawn to this book because I have a thing for books that are set in boarding schools for young people with special abilities or skills and when I read the synopsis for this book, I immediately got vibes of the Harry Potter series and Nevernight. Those are two of my favorites so the idea of a similar book but that focuses on training psychics instead of wizards or assassins had me totally on board.

School for Psychics follows twenty-something Teddy Cannon, a bright and resourceful young woman who has an uncanny ability to read people. Even though Teddy is smart, however, she has apparently made some questionable decisions in her life and is currently living in her parents’ garage in a make-shift apartment. When the story opens, we learn that Teddy has also been banned from nearly every casino in the Las Vegas area. She has been using her ability to read people to win money in the casinos and also gotten into some trouble with some unsavory individuals that she now owes a lot of money to. We meet Teddy as she is dressed incognito trying to sneak into a casino with money she has “borrowed” from her parents in hopes of turning it into major winnings so that she can pay back her gambling debt. Teddy’s plan goes awry, however, and she tries unsuccessfully to make a fast getaway. A stranger intervenes and gets her out of trouble, only to then tell her that he has been watching her. He informs her that she can read people the way she can because she is actually psychic. He then invites her to come to the School of Psychics where she can train with others like her in areas such as telepathy, telekinesis, investigative skills, and SWAT tactics. Upon graduation, she would go on to serve the U.S. government, using her skills to protect America, and the world.

Teddy is of course skeptical but ultimately agrees to come to the school. In her mind, she has been a screw up for most of her life and would love to finally be able to do something to make her adoptive parents proud of her. At first the school is pretty much what Teddy expected it to be. She slowly begins to settle in, get used to her classes, and for the first time, actually make real friends. But then strange things start happening – there are break-ins, students go missing, and more. It leads Teddy to become part of a dangerous mission, one that will ultimately cause her to question everything she thought she knew – her teachers, her friends, her family, and even herself.

Teddy was definitely a big draw for me. I liked her character from the first moment I met her, trying to scam her way into that casino. She was the ultimate underdog so I immediately found myself in her corner. She’s also one of those complicated, messy characters that I so adore. I saw that right away when she demonstrated street smarts and tremendous confidence with just a hint of guilt about what she had done to her parents. I liked how conflicted she was and wanted to not only learn more about her, but I also wanted her to succeed, not only in the short term when it came to getting herself out of trouble but also in her desire to finally do something to make her parents proud.

She’s also a very realistic character in the sense that she is in no way perfect and tends to make questionable choices quite often. One that immediately comes to mind happens almost as soon as she arrives at the school. She shows up late to one portion of her entrance exam because she got drunk and hooked up with a guy. I just sat there like “Whhhyyyyyyy? How are you supposed to turn things around and make your parents proud if you get kicked out before you even start?!” She frustrated me to no end with decisions like that, but it made her character growth as I moved through the story that much more satisfying. She’s still not perfect by any stretch by the end, but she has come so far.

On a slightly different note, I also found her psychic abilities quite fascinating. All of her classmates had interesting abilities as well, but Teddy’s abilities were quite rare and apparently were inherited from her birth parents who died in a car accident when she was very young. Her rare abilities make her of particular interest to those in change.

The setting also really appealed to me, both the Las Vegas setting where Teddy starts out and then the island off the California coast where the school is set. I was especially intrigued by that since at one point, it’s mentioned that some students can see Alcatraz prison from their windows. I just thought that was cool.

Finally, I liked the mystery that comes into play by about the halfway point of the book. It moves the story to a whole new level by having it be about more than just this group of young people attending classes and honing their skills. I don’t want to go into any details about what the mystery is about, other than to say it basically turns Teddy’s entire life and everything she has ever thought she knew about herself and her birth parents upside down and it also opens the door for this series to take an exciting and possibly darker turn as we have to consider what the government could be using people with Teddy’s abilities for. Is it all solely for the common good?

While I did end up enjoying School for Psychics overall, I do have to admit that my reaction to the early chapters was mixed. The opening scene with Teddy running her scam in the casino hooked me immediately but then surprisingly enough, once Teddy got to the school, I found myself less interested and actually more confused than anything else. Why? Mainly because Teddy and her new classmates are supposed to be young adults, with Teddy in particular being in her twenties, but most of them seem so immature. Teddy confused me the most in this respect because while she was running her scam at the casino, she came across as very street smart and worldly, but then as soon as she stepped onto the campus of the school for psychics, it’s like her personality changed and she became obsessed with every cute guy she came across. It was a little off-putting how immature she suddenly seemed and I thought about giving up on the book at that point, but thankfully Teddy quickly settled in and began to focus more on her classes and less on the guys.

One other issue I had, which was also early on in the book was what I considered to be a case of flawed logic. It made no sense to me why this school would recruit students, have them pack up all their belongings and fly to California, only to tell them once they arrive on campus that they have to pass a series of tests in order to determine whether or not they would be a good fit at the school. In Teddy’s case, she is recruited and told that if she gives them four years of her life, they’ll settle her gambling debts and make sure her parents are safe from the guys who were threatening Teddy when the novel opens. Why make a promise like that to her but then have her take these tests to see if she can stay at the school? Again, I was glad I persevered since I ended up enjoying the rest of the story, but for a few chapters there, it had me wondering what I was getting myself into.

Even though I got off to a slightly rocky start with School of Psychics, the story definitely got stronger and stronger as it went along. I think it’s a solid first book for this new series and I look forward to seeing what’s in store for Teddy and her classmates in the next installment. I’d recommend School of Psychics for anyone like me who enjoys books set in boarding schools, as well as for anyone who enjoys urban fantasy and/or mysteries and has any interest in psychic abilities.

School for Physics by K. C. Archer is an explosive new urban fantasy series with a good dash of crime thriller on the side. It reads like a Harry Potter story for adults. I was on the edge of my seat almost the entire time and second guessing myself right to the very end.
Theodora Cannon, aka Teddy, lives in Las Vegas above the garage of her adopted parents’ house. After a series of very bad decisions she currently owes over a quarter of a million to a Russian loan shark. You are probably wondering how someone ends up in such a situation at so young an age. Simple, you like to gamble. Teddy has even gone so far as to “borrow” money from her parents’ retirement account.
Teddy does have one thing going for her, she thinks, the ability to know beyond a shadow of a doubt when someone is bluffing at the card table. This ability is the reason she has been banned from all the Las Vegas casinos. The casinos could never prove she was cheating so they have banned her. Yet she desperately needs to gamble and win enough to pay back the loan shark. Disguising herself, Teddy starts to win big at the Bellagio. Until misfortune once again befalls her and she loses it all.
Fortunately, a mysterious man, named Clint, comes to her aid and offers her a deal she can’t refuse. He explains that she is a physic and wants to recruit her to attend a school (Whitfield Institute for Law Enforcement Training and Development) for physics. He even promises to take care of her debt to the loan shark. At the school she will learn to use and control her gift while she trains for a future position in the government where she will use her ability to keep America safe.
Teddy is out of options and she accepts this as her one and only chance to make things right in her life. Once at Whitfield, Teddy settles into life as a student, going to class, studying and making friends. Then mysterious things start to happen, some blood samples are stolen from the campus lab and a short time later a couple of students go missing. Teddy learns that one of the samples is hers and the other samples are from the missing students. Will she be next? She becomes obsessed with finding out the truth at all costs, even if it means she will be expelled from another school.
My favorite thing about the book was the cast of characters. Loved them and they fit so well with the plot. Of course, Teddy was my favorite. How can you not like a character who is good at heart yet so misguided. Teddy is a typical young adult that still has not figured herself out and she is so self-involved that she does not realize that her actions can have profound consequences not just for herself but for those around her. The plot was fast paced with lots of twists that were unexpected. I was never entirely sure who was on the good team and who was on the bad until the very end. Loved that!
The only down side is, I have to wait for the next installment!
I highly recommend School for Physics, for those adult kids, like myself, that loved the Harry Potter series.
I received a free copy from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book could be a great recommendation for those who grew up on Harry Potter. We have strong themes of friendship and psychic ability subsituted for magical ability. In this book, trainees, including Teddy Cannon, are also subjected to a punishing physical regimen (unlike those at Hogwarts). Just like at Hogwarts, learning to use pyschic ability requires not just talent, but tons and tons of practice. There are also themes of loneliness, frienship, and loyalty which may be satisfying to those who enjoyed the Harry Potter series.

This is the first book of a series. It was an interesting read with a lot of twists and turns. I think there should be better character development. This is a book that will appeal to all different types of readers from younger readers to adult. This was a pretty quick read.

This was tagged as “Harry Potter with millennials” which is sort of accurate.

But not really.

Teddy is our main character, a twenty year old who dropped out of college and is living with her parents. I guess that’s where the millennial comes from? She is excellent at gambling, particularly poker, and has a huge debt she owes to some shady guys. She is banned from most casinos in Vegas, but goes in a fat suit and wig anyway. Yep.

She gets caught and recruited to a school for psychics. Turns out that’s how she was so good at poker.

The school for psychics is a private initiative that trains people with psychic talents to go on to work with the government. They have liaisons with the FBI and CIA.

The school is more like a college, since everyone is in their 20s. But it’s also like high school, since they can’t leave the grounds and there’s a no drinking rule. Seriously.

That was my big issue with this book. These are adults who are in a college setting, but are given teen rules like no drinking, no sleeping together. So it’s like a bunch of college students went back to high school and act like high schoolers. That sounds like a nightmare I had once.

There are Teddy’s classmates who are an interesting bunch. There’s Pyro, who is pyrokinetic. That’s just his nickname that he came up with himself. No one told him it’s lame if you have to have your own nickname. But he’s a cool character, no pun intended. He was a cop before he was recruited, and has a lot of actual real world experience, unlike most milinneals.

There is also Jillian, a pet psychic who is hysterical. She’s Teddy’s roommate and I would love to meet her in real life. She’s just that awesome and brightened every scene she was in.

They take classes to hone their psychic abilities, improve their physical strength, and work with the FBI to help with cold cases. It was interesting. And I’m glad it wasn’t a bunch of teenagers telling the FBI what to do. That seems so unrealistic in teen fiction, so it seems better coming from adults, some who have worked in law enforcement.

There are a lot of tropes here, the adopted main character who is gifted, a secret conspiracy, powers as the plot demands, etc. The story itself is engaging and I finished it quickly.

But I have had issues with how it has been marketed. It’s hard to combine Harry Potter, which was a children’s series, with millennials, who are in their college years or beyond. Sure there’s a magic school, but that’s it. There’s a school for adults who act like teens with rules that treat their students like children. It’s kind of a mess.

I did enjoy this book, but it wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. I’d borrow before buying or committing to this series.

I’d like to that the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to review this arc.

Teddy is gifted; she's a gambler, wild child and a psychic (duh)! She has no idea until she is recruited for the Whitfield Institute for Law Enforcement Training and Development in order to hone these abilities. They got her into school via blackmail by agreeing to help her pay her debts and now she studies, tries not to party and trains to be a useful psychic.

Teddy is stubborn, strong willed and makes friends/enemies quickly. She is not afraid to break the rules and even drags an FBI Agent into it.

Ultimately, after a quick look into her file, an attack by a classmate...Teddy is embroiled into a crazy war that is brewing, ends up caught in the middle. Her power is coveted, she can't trust anyone...Whitfield is lying about how her parents died and her blood work is ultimately stolen...along with 4 others.

Will her past be fully uncovered? Find out. This book is truly amazing.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed K.C. Archer's School for Psychics. I'm a huge fan of mystery novels and this one really hit a good spot for me. Teddy Cannon isn't your typical twenty-something year old woman - She's a daughter, a gambler and a psychic (but she doesn't know it yet). This book made you want and need to know what was happening at Whitfield. Filled with twists and turns and questionable choices, this book was a hit. Since it was the first book in the series, I'm excited and ready for the second book!

Teddy is definitely rather scattered, but what you don’t immediately appreciate at the beginning of the book, is the fear underlying her bolshie attitude. She could immediately sense when anyone was lying, right from when she was a small child – and that terrified her. I liked the flaws and her apparent flakiness, which we discover has a solid cause. As a result, the book does take some time before the story gathers momentum and really hits its stride.

While the story is told from first person viewpoint via Teddy’s character, we also get to know a number of the other students, though because she has a tendency to hold them at arm’s length, we don’t perhaps know them quite as well as we would like. But it also means that when the twists come, it is a surprise.

Himself, being the paranoid sort, immediately worried about who would be monitoring such a potentially powerful tool as an establishment where people with psychic powers can be trained and moulded into law enforcement officers. I was pleased to see this aspect is addressed as the book progresses and this bodes well for the second book in the series, which should give us more of the political landscape and open up the whole issue of psychic warfare as a wider subject.

This is an enjoyable start to a series that promises to continue gaining traction as it progresses and I look forward to the next book. Recommended for fans of mental powers and school-based stories. While I obtained an arc of School for Psychics from Netgalley, the opinions I have expressed are unbiased and my own.
