MY REVIEW
Juniper is getting ready to sit down to dinner when she’s ‘pulled’ from her foster home and finds herself alongside a deserted highway. Deserted except for a hitchhiker. She knew it was him that had pulled her here. Even if he isn’t aware of it himself. Maybe he doesn’t know he’s a Unique. Someone who can do things ordinary people can’t. Like Juniper.
Now she must find out where she is and get back home, again.
Eight years old now, Juniper has had to deal with this for 5 years. That’s a lot of explaining to do when she finally gets back each time.
Of course, no one believes her, and she’s bounced from foster home to foster home. Will she ever find a place she can call home?
Juniper is such a smart young lady. She’s had to grow up fast. Her life is complicated. She’s lost her mother and she can’t control the pull. It happens with no warning. She’s labeled a runner by Social Services. No one keeps her for long.
Juniper comes across as very genuine. You’ll want to hug her. You’ll want to bring her home with you. You’ll worry about her and continue to hope with her.
I’d read Empath and loved it so it was no question I was going to read Pulled. The characters in this book weren’t in Empath but I hear they will tie into the series later on.
You can bet I’ll be reading more from this author.

Synopsis
Eight-year-old Juniper has been labeled many things—troubled kid, orphan, runaway—but none of her foster families have known what she really is: a girl with a unique and brutally inconvenient ability to teleport.
Her spontaneous jumps are not only beyond her control, they get her into trouble. When Juniper disappears, no one believes her wild stories, so she’s stopped trying to convince them.
One day when Juniper gets pulled away, finding her way back is harder than ever. Stranded on the side of a deserted highway, she must rely on her own instincts to determine who is a creepy stranger and who she can trust.
Resourcefulness may get her home, but is getting home enough when you don’t have parents that love you?
Juniper knows something most people don’t: there are others like her with unexplained abilities. Until now, she’s exercised stranger-danger caution, but maybe these people can offer what she needs.
Will Juniper find a family she can share her secrets with?

The Flawed Series: Book One
And you can read Empath free on Goodreads HERE.
Supernatural empathy isn’t a gift, it’s a curse. Anywhere she goes, Jade’s emotions are replaced by those of the people around her.
Jade grew up in a suburb of Colorado Springs, protected from other people by her parents. Now she faces college—and the world—with nothing to shield her from unwanted feelings.
When Cam, a classmate with a major crush on her, unintentionally hijacks her emotions, Jade struggles to keep from being carried away in feelings of attraction. When Ethan, a psychopath with a thirst for fear, fixates on her, the emotional impact could be lethal.
Caught in a deadly trap, Jade must untangle the emotions and find a way to use her empathic curse to overcome this killer or be overcome by him.
