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.

Weird girl

This story is a wonderful standalone book and that saying something from someone who normally won't read a book unless it's part of at least a trilogy

Amazing story.

I think this is one of Mark's best books. Very original with a lot of action. I couldn't put it down.

Callis Rose

As usual Mark Tufo writes and incredible story and Sean Runnette does not disappoint with his narration.

Really good Read

Feels like Stephen Kings Carrie and l enjoyed it more than his Zombie books. The last couple of hours was pretty harsh

Wow!

a girl w certain powers has to go through life not understanding them. Just Wow!

Mark...love your characters brother

Great book, Great author, great narrator very very happy. he just keeps getting better...love your books

love this author...

Being a writer and English major, I'm always impressed with the lack of plot holes in the authors tales.

Lovely & Scary Callis Rose

Callis Rose is a beauty and lovely girl, so innocent at heart yet so evil and deadly. With her power she can control anyone and make them do anything.

This book was fantastic, I was listening to it all day to know what will happen next to Callis and to know what will she do next and to whom. I am big fan of Mark Tufo's work, specially the Fallout series.

What I loved about this book, was the small connection between it and the fallout series in few small things here and there, and to those who read the fallout series you will know what I am talking about when you reach it.

Sean Runnette is a great narrator and he always does a great job with these books.

Keep it up Mark Tufo, this was a great book.

Mindbogglingly good

Any additional comments?

Mark Tufo once again demonstrates his ability to cause characters to leap from the page and into your mind, where they inevitably do weird and twisted things to your thoughts while poking around in there.

In other books, Mr. Tufo has explored everything from zombies to aliens, but this book is about mans inhumanity towards man, the injustices that creep into social services, lost dreams and the ability for love to grant hope in the face of overwhelming difficulties (with supernatural powers as the driver). While that may sound boring, this is Mark Tufo we are talking about here, so don't be alarmed in the slightest.

Sean Runnette gives another stellar reading. If Mark Tufo ever called my house, I wouldn't believe it was him unless he hung up and had Mr. Runnette call back. Mr. Runnette could read the instructions for putting together a kitchen cabinet and have you hanging on the edge of your seat. When orating a Tufo novel, it is the equivalent of a deep fried bacon wrapped triple fudge sundae for your ears.
