When Lightning Strikes, Code Name Cassandra, Safe House, Sactuary, and Missing You.
Read between January '07 and February '08.
Summary:
The basic story is that this girl, Jess, gets struck by lightning, and suddenly wakes up the next morning with the ability of being able to pinpoint exactly where any given person is, so long as she sees a picture of the person, or touches something of theirs. In each book, she finds herself under more and more scrutiny over her ability, and she has to fight off everyone that tries to stand in the way of her finding those kids.
Thoughts:
It's an awesome book series. The main character, Jess Mastriani, is a strong girl who, at first, is wiggy about her new ability, but eventually takes it all in stride, and manages to embrace her ability. She, like any other teenaged girl, has a crush on a hunky guy, and things progress fairly well on that front through the series.
Cabot knows just how to write a story with enough angst to get you hoping for a happy ending, and then she delivers said ending with enough time for you to digest the ending, and still have a little left up in the air so that you want to keep reading more.
I loved this series, and the only reason why it took me so long to finish the 5-book series is because I wanted to drag it out a little bit for myself because it's just so good.
