The Gifted series by Jenna Black is set in a world where some people possess psychic abilities and the boundary between life and death is not as firm as it should be. The Gifted Dead (2014) and Schism (2015) explore the consequences of these supernatural gifts and the conflicts that arise when different factions disagree about how such powers should be used.
The two books combine paranormal elements with interpersonal drama and suspense. While shorter than Black’s other series, the Gifted books show her working with a different set of supernatural rules and exploring darker themes about mortality and the price of power.
