The School For Psychics by K.C. Archer

Teddy is immediately likable because she has panache and has beaten the system at an early age. On notice with every Vegas casino and owing money, she gambles in disguise hoping for a big payout. Things start to go downhill and she is saved by a mysterious good looking man who wants to recruit her for a special spy school for psychics. She won't go back to Stamford and returning in disgrace to her aunt and uncle's house is not an option so she tries her luck at honing her psychic abilities to do good. At the school, she bonds with a group of misfits and is pretty happy until strange things begin to happen to make her question the school and what she knew of her parents. You will love the irascible Teddy and her band of merry misfits. This is a promising start to a new approach to the standard spy novel. Think of it like "The Magicians" meets "Homeland".
