Good book...but not one of Showalters best. I liked the struggle that the heroine had with getting a grip on her powers...actually liked the whole concept of her having powers. But some of the plot seemed a little forced and there were a lot of loose ends left in the plot by the end. I'm not sure if she plans to wrap those up in the next book, but Showalter usually wraps up al the ends in each book, so I was a little surprised. I liked it enough to read the next one, but I wouldn't hold this up as her best work. There are some hilarious parts though...the inner voice of the heroine is very witty and I did laugh out loud in some spots.
