I am so weak. Apparently a year and a half is too long to go without reading these books. Anthony Fascinelli, I blame you.

I actually have the omnibus with the first three books in the series. Not sure if I'm going to read the other two or not. Might wait a while and read them later on. Who knows. Definitely didn't catch my interest.

I still love this series. Excited to be reliving it. I can’t wait for the rest of the story! 💜💜💜

3.5 stars

I am very glad Anthony was in this book. I think if he wasn't I would have rated it a fair bit lower, the reason being because on her own Rae was unable to process what was going on with her.
Every question she had she just substituted the answer with "going psycho".
I am glad she didnt tell her "real" friends about what was happening because I feel as Cardinals they would have done mean things.
I do hope the book continues to grow, at 15 years old the book makes sense but does make it a touch boring without romance.
The only other downside was I did find it hard to distinguish between the 2 characters during POV changes. I am glad that she specified who it was within a few sentences because otherwise I dont know how long it would've taken me to figure it out. It lacks the flavor of different characters.

I’ve read this series twice. The first time was in high school and I remembered I had really enjoyed it, but I never completely finished it… For some reason my library doesn’t have the middle books. The second time I read this was after college and I completed the whole series. Overall I like the simplicity of this series, it is by no means complex but they story is concrete and entertaining and the characters are developed excellently.

The first book starts with Rae, who might be going crazy, she isn’t sure. After pretending the voices she hears in her head aren’t really there she is released from the mental hospital where she spent her summer. Of course, she is not exactly looking forward to going to high school again after her mental breakdown the previous year in front of the whole school.

As the book progresses there is a solid set up of a promising series where the reader finds out of Rae is indeed crazy, or if it is something more.

While I've outgrown this book now, I give it a very high rating because I remember I couldn't put it down. 12 year old me was so encapsulated by this book that it inspired me to dye my hair to match the main character's. It's fun mysterious and hard to put down.

i really like this book. i have already read it, but under another name known as "Echoes". she re-vamped it to get more readers. personally i like this series and i am going to continue to read it over and over again.

This was good, we found at Goodwill when we first move back & I read it the first day....then I read it agian like last year. I really recommend it!

Gifted Touch is the first book in the Fingerprints series. In Gifted Touch we meet Rae who is able to read peoples thoughts by touching their fingerprints. Rae first thinks she's crazy and doesn't understand what's happening to her but later on she realizes her powers with the help of Anthony, a boy from the group therapy who later becomes her friend. When coming in terms with her power, Rae is also being watched and is wanted dead for unknown reasons because of her dead crazy mother. Anthony and Rae must team together when Rae is almost killed in a bomb attack and Anthony as the framed number one suspect. Though we are left with many unanswered questions, Gifted Touch is a nice beginning to the Finger Prints series and its an good-ish okay read. Most of the time Rae's just talking to herself about her crazy mom, wondering why her dad would still love her.

Metz has achieved a rarity by authoring an inspired and new take on a science-esque fiction. The ways of the paranormal in Metz' creation is astoundingly original. The back stories for each character is a little sluggish and overly-written at times, however, they fit very well into the culture created.
