Publisher's summary

Callis Rose is a girl blessed with a gift from above or cursed with a ruthless power she barely understands; it's really just a matter of degrees. As her family life is turned asunder she is thrown into an indifferent Social Services program where she defends herself the only way she knows how.

Callis is moved from home to home until she finally settles at the Lowries. As she starts her first day of high school she meets both her favorite and least favorite person. Both happen to be part of the same household. Mindy Denton makes it her single mission in life to destroy Callis, even as her brother, Kevin, falls deeper into love with the mysterious and beautiful girl who is hiding something from them all.

Tufo keeps amazing me!

Mark Tufo is easily in my top five all-time favorite authors! I have absolutely fallen in love with his Zombie Fallout series. While this book has an entirely different feel from that series it was a riveting story full of emotion.

Tufo holds back the Zombies & tries something new

If you could sum up Callis Rose in three words, what would they be?

Professor X as a teenage girl.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Callis Rose?

The family circumstances that launched Callis on her road through the system.

Have you listened to any of Sean Runnette’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, it is just as good as his other works. I was worried since this is from a female perspective, but he did really well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I wish I had the time but had to break it up over three days.

Any additional comments?

Mark Tufo is amazing, keep writing!

great backstory for BT or otherwise known as Big tiny man captivating story but very dark now we know why he said you're brooding character

Brilliant,

If the two movies Carrie and Mean Girls got into a fight.. This would be their story. I finished this book in two days It was that intense.

Grips you from the start

Very good story. Narrator only "slipped" into the voice of the detective once and I immediately recognized who he sounded like. I didn't make the actual connection until his girlfriend called him by his nickname. Clever, Mark!

It's all your fault. What would you do?

If you could sum up Callis Rose in three words, what would they be?

Poor Callis Rose...

What other book might you compare Callis Rose to and why?

Maybe... but not really Carrie. Just because she is a young girl and she has a power.

What does Sean Runnette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Sean Runnette can make each character come to life. He makes you BELIEVE.
