The ability to magnetize and manipulate metal with the flick of her wrist makes seventeen-year-old Lexi Adams a crack mechanic, but it's a disaster in the making when her stepdad trades her skills to NASCAR team owner Dean Grant for an entire season's worth of sponsorship ads.

Now Lexi has no other choice but to suck it up and hope she can keep her magnetic impulses under control--that is, until she runs into NASCAR's hot new rookie, Colton Tayler.

When Carl Stacy, the ruthless team owner of the defending Cup Champion, discovers Lexi's secret and plots to use it to ruin Dean's race team for good, Lexi must either expose her ability to save Colton, risking Dean's career and her own freedom in the process, or watch the only guy she's ever fallen for race to his death.

Industry Reviews
"Gr 9 Up-Lexi Adams has a knack for mechanics, an abusive stepfather, and dead parents. When the teen is struck by lightning, she gains the ability to manipulate metal, allowing her to accentuate her already impressive mechanical skills. When NASCAR team owner Dean catches wind of Lexi's skill and her stepfather's abuse, he takes her under their team's wing. The protagonist must keep her abilities a secret, as she is frightened she would be locked up and tested like a lab animal. The NASCAR team's driver, Colton, is intrigued by Lexi-and so is archenemy Carl, owner of a competing team. Once Carl realizes Lexi's supernatural abilities, he attempts to blackmail her with near-deadly consequences. The entire narrative would be strengthened without the supernatural (and underunexplained) plot device, as Briand excels at describing the fast-paced, fuel-laced NASCAR life. VERDICT For readers looking for a light, action-packed, paranormal read with a unique setting." -Amanda C. Buschmann, Atascocita Middle School, Humble, TX. Library Journals LLC
