YA
Gwen and Adrian feel mutual loathing. When each inadvertently unlocks the other's formidable psychic power, they are inescapably bound. They deceive and manipulate each other but cannot control their powers until they face unpleasant truths (in an incongruously moralistic ending). The plot becomes repetitive, but effective character development through the angry teens' rapidly alternating voices will hook readers into this fast-paced adventure/romance.
