Calling Jackie psychic makes her cringe. But Jackie’s no normal seventeen-year-old. She picks up emotions from people and objects like a freak. The emotions make her sick, and the guilt she feels for lying to her church when she was twelve causes her to deny her psychic abilities.But when her jealous friend Trish invites a demon to help her steal Jason's love for Jackie, Jackie must learn how to use her gift to protect Jason and herself and to heal the negative energies around them. To do so means she must overcome her guilt and accept who she is before the demon claims her soul.
I had a hard time getting into this book at first. It goes a bit slow and doesn't capture your interest at the beginning but once u keep reading it is great.
In order to hide her psychic abilities, Jackie lies about what happened that day in church and continues to denounce her abilities. In order to get people to leave her alone, Jackie turns goth and standoffish, making her unapproachable. When things take an evil turn, her past is suddenly revealed, and her lies are no longer a secret. In order to repair the damage from the demon conjured by an inexperienced girl, Jackie must embrace her gift.
Jackie is also approached by a newcomer in her family's church. Handsome and polite, he seems to think that even though Jackie isn't allowed in the church, she may be able to help with a problem. Only after she learns how to use her abilities will the truth about demons and her previous issues at the church become known.
Possessed (formerly known as Goth Girl Virgin Queen) is a unique take on a teenage psychic. Jackie's religious upbringing doesn't allow for the belief in psychic abilities. Unable to come to terms with her abilities, she shuns people and crowds the best she can. Jackie lets the guilt of her lies consume her instead of embracing who she really is. Her walls come crashing down after a person she thought was her friend summons a demon out of jealousy. Everything snowballs from there, leading her to admit her lies and deal with the consequences while trying to save her friend Jason and his family.
