Review: Lost in Thought (The Sententia #1) by Cara Bertrand

Summary-
Perfect for readers who love books and series such as Vampire Academy, Spellbound, and Sweet Peril, Lost in Thought is a sure winner for young adult readers interested in the paranormal, romance, and action-packed twists
Lainey Young has a secret: she’s going crazy. Everyone else thinks she has severe migraines from stress and exhaustion. What she really has are visions of how people died—or are going to die. Not that she tells anyone that. At age 16, she prefers keeping her crazy to herself. When doctors insist she needs a new and stable environment to recover, Lainey’s game to spend two years at a private New England boarding school. She doesn’t really think it will cure her problem, and she’s half right. There is no cure, but as she discovers, she’s not actually crazy. Almost everyone at Northbrook Academy has a secret too. Half the students and nearly all the staff are members of the Sententia, a hidden society of the psychically gifted. A vision of another student’s impending death confirms Lainey is one of them. She’d like to return the crappy gift of divining deaths with only a touch, but enjoys spending time with Carter Penrose—recent Academy graduate and resident school crush—while learning to control it. Lainey’s finally getting comfortable with her ability, and with Carter, when they uncover her true Sententia heritage. Now she has a real secret. Once it’s spilled, she’ll be forced to forget protecting secrets and start protecting herself.
 
Review-
This book was absolutely terrific and I want to read Book Two RIGHT NOW!!! lol. Lainey and Carter are great characters who eschew most of the teen drama in favor of slightly more mature attitudes towards life. They are both orphans but don't dwell on their circumstances. They are both popular and attractive but also have everyday issues that make them easy to relate to. When Lainey suddenly decides to go to boarding school, the plot takes off with Winter balls, stolen boyfriends, new best friends and enemies, and teenagers with fantastic and dangerous powers. Lainey, of course, has STARS!!!
