Gypsy lives with her friends, they are called the Cavies. She lives in a kind off group home. Gypsy and her friend are special, because by some manipulated gene the 10 teens all have some special powers. From all those powers the one Gypsy has is the least cool or useful, when she touches a person she can see when they die.One day the teens are rescued and you can image their surprise that almost all kids still have family and these kids were never adopted to this so called group home, were they were poked with needles by doctors.Now Gypsy is trying to adjust with living with her father, going to school and having other friends.Life would me so much better if the government and other groups were not after them.This was a good read, some part off the story fell apart for me when the questions are not asked at the moments it was necessary. I thought that Gypsy could have talked to her dad and Jude. The scene where she is meeting with Jude’s dad and no answers are given what was the meaning off that? They meet and don’t really talk. I will be looking forward to reading the sequel. When I saw Gypsy's summary I thought it sounded really fascinating, so when I got the chance to get a copy for review and be part of the blog tour, I jumped at it. And boy am I glad that I did!Gypsy not only had a great pace and kept you engaged no matter if we're reading action scenes or character development scenes. The book managed to surprise me from the start, we begin as Gypsy in at the orphanage/school where she's always lived with other 9 kids with special abilities. There's a certain Professor X School sort of file to it, but rather more secret and a little more seedy. But all of a sudden things change, and the Cavies are taken away from the only place than they've known and even if Gypsy sees it as a chance to forget about her useless ability and to feel normal, it isn't as easy for the rest of the Cavies.We get very little information at first on who where the Professor and the rest of the people at the Cavies only home, and once they're back to the families they didn't know they had it's when the Cavies realize things have just started for them. They need to get back into regular society, they find enemies or potential allies and don't know who to trust, so in the end it's Cavies first and foremost, their bonds stronger than any others.I was surprised on how easy it was to connect with Gypsy and her struggles with the changes from being insignificant and unimportant to have a chance to be normal and attend high school, which was such a big deal for her! I loved how her being happy in her new life didn't mean she forgot about the Cavies or the questions they were trying to answer.There's plenty of science, a bit about conspiracies about government agencies, plenty of hidden secrets by the government, the families... When you turn the page you are waiting for the next shoe to drop and then we get to the final showdown, think that things will calm down and YAY no cliffhanger and then BAM! one heck of an awful cliffhanger right there! I'm now dying to get my hands on book 2!! Very well deserved 4.5 stars to this mix of science fiction with paranormal!
