Description
'AN UN-PUT-DOWN-ABLE, ACTION-PACKED ADVENTURE THAT PACKS AN EMOTIONAL PUNCH' Kirkus
Full of imagination, wit and random sh*t flying through the air, this insane new Frost Files adventure will blow your tiny mind.
Teagan Frost might be getting better at moving sh*t with her mind - but her job working as a telekinetic government operative only ever seems to get harder. That's not even talking about her car-crash of a love life . . .
And things are about to get even tougher. No sooner has Teagan chased off one psychotic kid hell-bent on trashing the whole West Coast, but now she has to contend with another supernatural being who can harness devastating electrical power. And if Teagan can't stop him, the whole of Los Angeles will be facing the sh*tstorm of the century . . .
'A non-stop adrenaline high. Fans of the series will be eagerly awaiting the further adventures of Teagan and her cohorts, and newcomers will quickly fall in love with Jackson's quirky cast of characters, imaginative storytelling, and wry wit' Library Journal

Reviews
This third instalment fully delivers, with a breakneck pace, high stakes, and plenty of wisecracks... Gripping, suspenseful, and thoroughly enjoyable. An un-put-down-able, action-packed adventure that packs an emotional punch * KIRKUS on THE EYE OF THE SH*T STORM *
Ford delivers a fantastic follow-up to The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With her Mind with this tale of earthquakes, superpowers and culinary ambition * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
This second book about psychokinetic superspy Teagan is even more suspenseful than The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind. The stakes couldn't be higher . . . The suspense, the danger, and the rocket-fueled pace are all turned up to 11 in this more-than-satisfying sequel * KIRKUS *
A non-stop adrenaline high. Fans of the series will be eagerly awaiting the further adventures of Teagan and her cohorts, and newcomers will quickly fall in love with Jackson's quirky cast of characters, imaginative storytelling, and wry wit * LIBRARY JOURNAL on EYE OF THE SH*T STORM *
This novel, and by extension the series so far, has been great fun. Jackson Ford is clearly having a ball and his enthusiasm for the characters and plot continues to remain infectious. I find myself awaiting each new instalment with barely contained excitement. If you haven't checked this out already, I strongly advise that you do so. * THE ELOQUENT PAGE on EYE OF THE SH*T STORM *
[A] smart, action-packed novel . . . New readers will be able to pick up here. Teagan's bright wit offsets the darker moments, and a curious cliff-hanger ensures that readers will be back for the next entry * BOOKLIST *
Like Alias meets X-Men in a grimy LA setting. Full throttle from the opening page, this book gives urban sci-fi fans everything they could want with a spiky heroine, shady government agencies, high stakes and a diverse cast of characters. I loved it! * Maria Lewis on THE GIRL WHO COULD MOVE SH*T WITH HER MIND *

Teagan is a frank and funny narrator for this wild ride, which starts off with our heroine falling from the 82nd floor of a skyscraper and pretty much never slow down. Readers will be glad to learn that it's set for a sequel. 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 *
