A couple of years ago. I wandered in to the director's office and said, "I just finished the latest Vampire Academy book and now I have nothing to read. Do you have any suggestions?" She suggested The F.R.E.A.K.S. Squad Series by Jennifer Harlow. The first one is titled Mind Over Monster. I had looked at this book and judged it by its cover and was not going to read it. However, with her recommendation, I went ahead and gave it a chance.
Synopsis: Bea (Short for Beatrice) is a school teacher with a hidden ability. She can move things with her mind! When a freak accident happens and her powers are discovered she is visited by Don the leader of the F.R.E.A.K.S., a secret department of the government created for people with special abilities to fight supernatural crime and invited to join. Of course there is the vampire and werewolf love triangle but that takes a back seat to the all the gory goodness that comes with figuring out who is raising the dead and creating murderous zombies.
This was a great read, if you are looking for a fun story and like the paranormal. The main character reminded me of Stephanie Plum with more depth! Unfortunately, the covers have not improved at all! This is one of many times when the book is better than the cover.
