Forbidden Mind
49% of Americans believe their government
officials are honest. I don't know these officials, or
their supporters, but I know their secrets, and 49% of Americans
are wrong.
My employers pay me well to be right, to
know things others can't. But I don't know why they brought that
boy in, strapped to a stretcher, barely conscious. He asked me
for help when I could give none.
I'm a wealthy spy, a talented artist, a
martial arts black belt, and a prisoner. They tell me that on my
eighteenth birthday, I will be released, free to go to the college
of my dreams. It's my eighteenth birthday, and a man in
black is at my door. I know he's not here to free me.
I know, because I can read minds.
My name is Sam, and this is my story.
So begins the tale of Sam and Drake--from
the time they link minds, forging a bond that leads to
an unconventional romance--to their fight for survival against
the corrupt, twisted organization known as 'Rent-A-Kid.'
"...a thrilling, dark and deeply romantic
read that had me sitting on the edge of my seat and eagerly

Forbidden Fire
"She escaped, but she'll never be
free."
"Time held no meaning as my mind darted in
and out of memories. Past and present collided to create a
full-sensory collage out of my life: playing hide-n-seek with my best
friends Luke--who always cheated by walking through walls when he was
about to be caught--and Lucy; Mr. Caldrin critiquing my sketches and
offering ideas to make them more realistic; targets changing faces,
blending into the same person, their thoughts rippling through my
mind like waves. Through it all, a demon stalked me from the shadows
of my memories, never quite showing its face, but crouching, waiting.
And then I dreamed...."
Sam and Drake may have escaped, but they aren't
free—not with a powerful Seeker after them. As Sam struggles with
the ethics of her new powers and embraces a blossoming physical
relationship with Drake, Lucy and Luke face challenges of their own.
With forces coalescing inside and outside the
Rent-A-Kid dorms, it's only a matter of time before the fire they
started forces each of them to make choices they can't undo. But will
it be enough to save them?
Forbidden Life
The road to redemption begins in darkness.
A sinister force waits for them in darkness,
ready to devour their powers and take their lives.
Sam's baby is the key to a lock that must never
been opened. To keep her child safe, Sam will do anything.
Drake might have found a way to get his powers
back and save his family, but is it too late?
Luke and Lucy uncover secrets in an
organization they thought they could trust, and the lives of all
Rent-A-Kid children are at stake.
In this last Forbidden Trilogy installment, the
secrets to Rent-A-Kid will finally be revealed.
**My thoughts**
I love that this trilogy is now available in an omnibus edition. I loved it from the very beginning of the very first book and had to wait in between installments. There is something to be said for the anticipation that comes when reading each individual part. And then, it is nice to have the entire collection all together. These omnibus editions always add more special content, which is great for fans of the series and collectors.
What I like about this edition is that it adds even more insight into the characters. Each one has his or her own case file and/or interview at the end of the book. You learn a lot about each one throughout the story, but this gives them more dimension. Discussion questions for each book also help to make the reader think more about the books. I love how the reader is also forced into herself with these questions, to really reflect on her own morals and value assumptions about life. Some of the questions also give you more insight into author Kimberly Kinrade. To really get to know her better, there is also an interview at the end.
