Summary

I am Gwen Frost, and I have a Gypsy gift.  It's called psychometry - that's a fancy way of saying that I see images in my head and get flashes of other people's memories off almost everything I touch, even guys.

 

My gift makes me kind of nosy. Okay, okay, maybe a lot nosy--to the point of obsession sometimes. I want to know everything about everyone around me. But even I don't want to know the secrets my friend Paige is hiding or the terrible loss that will send me to a new school - Mythos Academy, where the teachers aren't preparing us for the SATs, but to battle Reapers of Chaos.  Now I have no friends and no idea how my gift fits in with all these warrior whiz kids.  The only thing I do know is that my life is never, ever going to be the same.  .  .

My Thoughts
This was another prequel, but I decided to read it after the first book because I usually get really confuse. They don’t explain much of the story and are short. But this one was different.
During the first book Gwen mentioned in passing what happened after gym in her old school and the prequel show us exactly this. What vibes se get and the memories she can extract from the hair brush that Paige let her borrow.
There’s also a visit to Mythos and Gwen first encounter with Logan. I don’t liked the way her grandmother just shipped her o school like it was a done deal. But I enjoyedd to know what happened before school started.
