Blurb:

Addie just wants to make it through high school without anyone discovering her ability. But when a local boy goes missing, she's forced to expose herself to the hottest guy she's ever met, knowing he's the only one that can help her rescue the missing boy.

Jake's determined to resist the cute, but obviously crazy girl asking for help but finds he can't when he realizes she knows more than she should. Their alliance reveals more than either could have anticipated, compelling Jake to keep her safe, knowing Addie's knowledge could get her killed if the wrong people found out.

As their reluctant alliance turns into a forbidden love, Addie's dangerous knowledge threatens to destroy them both.

Hidden truths never stay hidden.

A paranormal romance/mystery novel.

I liked this book because Addie has the one of my favorite super powers of ALL time!  She can basically answer any questions that is asked of her.  I consistently daydream of having this super power, I mean, how cool would it be have this power? I have never read a story with this preminse before and I found it highly original and entertaining.

And another thing I liked about this book was how quickly Addie knew she had to help find the bad guys in this book.  She didn’t waffle back and forth (okay maybe just a smidge of waffling in the beginning) about whether she should interfere, she saw a need that only she could fill and she jumped in feet first. One of the cool things about her power was that there wasn’t a black and white answer to every question that was asked of her.  And the answers could always change depending on the circumstances so they needed to re-ask some questions from time to time.  This added a nice dimension and layer to the story.

I enjoyed the action and mystery of it as well as the attraction Addie had with Jake.  He is a bit older than her and while they acknowledged their attraction to each other, they appropriately focused on catching the big bad before acting on it.  And also, there was the added drama of Jake being an undercover cop and having a girlfriend as well to overcome.  I will be reading more from this author, in fact, I have already read other books by her.
