About this ebook

Seventeen-year-old Olivia Black has a rare birth defect known as Psyche Sans Soma, or PSS. Instead of a right hand made of flesh and blood, she was born with a hand made of ethereal energy.

How does Olivia handle being the girl with the ghost hand? Well, she's a little bit morbid and a whole lot snarky. 

Her mother thinks her obsession with death, black clothing, and the local cemetery is a bid for attention. But when Marcus, the new guy in Olivia's calculus class, stares at her like she's a freak, Olivia doesn't like it. And when her hand goes rogue, doing things she never imagined possible, Olivia finds herself running for her life with Marcus from a group of men bent on taking the power of her hand for their own nefarious purposes.

Ratings and reviews

Science fiction novel targeted to teens. It is about kids who are born with a body part that glows blue holds super unearthly energy. These kids banned together to find other kids like themselves and to fight the enemies who want to steal away this energy and perform scientific tests on them.

Disappointed the author is not putting the next book on Google Play. Good fantasy/syfy plot, kept me interested with twists & turns. Gives one chapter of next book, happy to see continuing with the established characters.

I was addicted to this book for like 2 days and I finished it! It was the best book ever but it is sad that you have to pay for the other books in the series so this is the only one in the series I read before
