Cabot has such a great writing style. Like Jess, it's sassy and kick-ass, smart and funny, sarcastic and biting. Time flew when I was reading Vanished, because one thing after another happens and the pages seem to just turn themselves - the pacing is amazing, easing into the story a bit and then just taking off!! The funny things is that even when ridiculous things that don't seem very plausible happen, everything still feels so real.

I love Jess. With all her "issues." Nothing is ever boring around her, and that's even before she gets psychic powers. I love that she has no friends besides Ruth and she's still so confident. Maybe a bit overconfident, but that's part of her charm (ha).And all the characters in the story are so interesting. Even the Special Agents! I love the relationship that Jess builds with them, teasing them and watching them get riled up, how Agent Smith seems to like her even when Jess is being a pain.
