Description
'FAST-PACED AND A LOT OF FUN . . . A MODERN ACTION MOVIE THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE IN BOOK FORM' The Fantasy Inn on The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with her Mind Teagan Frost has enough sh*t to deal with, between her job as a telekinetic government operative and a certain pair of siblings who have returned from the dead to wreak havoc with their powers. But little does she know, things are about to get even more crazy . . . Teagan might have survived the flash-flood of the century, but now she's trapped in a hotel by a bunch of gun-toting maniacs. And to make matters worse, her powers have mysteriously disappeared. Faced with certain death at every turn, Teagan will need to use every resource she has to stop a plot that could destroy Los Angeles - maybe even the entire world. Full of imagination, wit and random sh*t flying though the air, this insane new Frost Files adventure will blow your tiny mind. Praise for the Frost Files series: 'An un-put-downable, action-packed adventure that packs an emotional punch' Kirkus 'Proceeds at breakneck speed through almost five hundred pages of madcap adventure' Guardian 'A drunken back-alley brawler of a book' Robert Brockway, author of The Unnoticeables 'Ford's breakneck pace keeps the tension high, and the thrills coming the whole way through' BookPage 'A fast-paced, high-adrenaline tale' Kirkus

A fast-paced, high-adrenaline tale that manages to get into some dark themes without losing its sense of fun Furious, frenetic, fun, and 'f*ck you': All equally valid descriptions of this book and its punk rock chef/psychic warrior protagonist. It's like the X-Men, if everybody was sick of each other's sh*t, they had to work manual labor to pay rent, and Professor X was a sociopathic government stooge. A drunken back-alley brawler of a book * Robert Brockway on THE GIRL WHO COULD MOVE SH*T WITH HER MIND * Ford's strengths are evident in the taut action sequences and suspenseful pacing Fast-paced and a lot of fun to read . . . If you're looking for a high-action contemporary fantasy with a bunch of irreverent humour, then this is your book . . . a modern action movie that just happens to be in book form * THE FANTASY INN on THE GIRL WHO COULD MOVE SH*T WITH HER MIND *
