Sanctuary by Meg Cabot, 7

Book Description: Sixteen-year-old Jessica Mastriani knew she wasn't going to be able to hide her psychic powers from the U.S. government -- interested in utilizing her special skills for their own devices -- forever. But she never thought that she and Cyrus Krantz, the special agent brought in to "convince" Jess to join his elite team of "specially gifted" crime solvers, would turn out to have something in common. But when a local boy's disappearance is attributed to a backwoods militia group, Jess's goal -- to find the missing child -- and Dr. Krantz's -- to stop a group of madmen before they kill again -- turn out to be one and the same. Suddenly Jess finds herself working with one enemy in order to stop a far worse one. In an atmosphere of hate and fear, can Jess and Dr. Krantz -- not to mention Jess's would-be boyfriend, Rob -- work together to unite a community and save a life...without losing their own?

Review: Fourth book in the series. I liked it a lot. I loved the Jess/Rob stuff and it's always amusing when Jess gets to drive a vehicle. The darker tone of the third book stuck around which is cool I guess. I do wish there was more in this book about Douglas' plot. I've really been enjoying this series and I hope Meg Cabot writes another installment one day.
