Marisol also seems to want Kait and the rest of them out of the house, but why? Things only get weirder as more test are ran. Especially with the crystals are put on their heads when they are tested. Also Marisol's sudden collapse in the house do to lack of medicine. Kait feels something isn't right when she and Gabriel are invited to the Mr.Zates house and learn about the crystal. What can be worse then running from an extremely powerful man? Maybe being mentally connected to all her friends and Gabriel.

The Passion: They finally found the weapon to destroy Mr.Zates! Gabriel is now on the opposite side and it seems the only way to stop Zates is by going back to the house. Joyce isn't exactly happy to see Kait and neither is here new room mate Lydia.Her new housemates Renny, Mac, Bri, and Frost. Her friends come to save her but they could be in more dancer then she was. Mr.Zates has the group rob money and grants from different places. When the time comes to attack the large crystal, can Kait do it? She has everything ready but Mr.Zates has came prepared also.
These books are so good! It may be because I live in the Bay Area but I felt so attached to the characters! They are so realistic and the entire time I'm rooting for Kait and Gabriel to be together. L.J. built the story up in such a captivating way it was hard to stop reading! I honestly could not put this book down. This magical world is unique and has a balance of power feeling to it. The idea of a female hero is always a good thing.
