The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind by Jackson Ford

I’ve had some practice at this whole moving-shit-with-your-mind thing. Bricks, glass, metal, the fridge door, a sixpack, the TV remote, the zipper on your pants. Organic matter like human tissue doesn’t respond to me, which is something I don’t really have time to get into right now. I can’t actually apply any force to either Annie’s body or mine. Plummeting at close to terminal velocity, surrounded by a hurricane of glass from the window we smashed through, the lights of Los Angeles whirling around us and Annie screaming and the rushing air blowing the stupid clip-on tie from my security guard disguise into my face: not ideal. Being able to move objects with your mind is useful in all sorts of situations. Pro tip: if you’re going to take a high dive off the 82nd floor, make sure you do it with a psychokinetic holding your hand. Her fists hammer on my back, her voice piecing my eardrums, even over the rushing air.

It wasn’t smart because I had to bring Annie Cruz with me. Not because I’m going to die or anything. 'The writing and storytelling is as clear and fun as the title indicates.On second thoughts, throwing myself out the window of a skyscraper may not have been the best idea.

'Ford's strengths are evident in the taut acton sequences and suspenseful pacing.'- Publishers Weekly 'The novel unfolds cinematically with loads of breathtaking action, a perfect candidate for film or television adaptation. 'Ford's breakneck pace keeps the tension high, and the thrills coming the whole way through.'- BookPage A fast-paced, high-adrenaline tale that manages to get into some dark themes without losing its sense of fun.'- Kirkus 'Teagan is a frank and funny narrator for this wild ride, which starts off with our heroine falling from the 82nd floor of a skyscraper and pretty much never slow down. 'Ford's debut holds nothing back, delivering a sense of absurd fun and high-speed thrills that more than lives up to that amazing title.'- B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog A drunken back-alley brawler of a book.'- Robert Brockway, author of The Unnoticeables It's like the X-Men, if everybody was sick of each other's sh*t, they had to work manual labor to pay rent, and Professor X was a sociopathic government stooge. 'Furious, frenetic, fun, and 'f**k you': All equally valid descriptions of this book and its punk rock chef/psychic warrior protagonist.
