The Strange Power by L.J. Smith

4.0

I have this series as the Omnibus and I have been needing to read it for many years now. As usual, with any LJ Smith book, The Strange Power was a quick but decent read. It kept me interested and I hated putting it down. LJ Smith's books are always rather short, but that was typical of a YA book back when I was actually a young adult. These were written in the mid 90's but I never feel like I'm reading something from the mid 90's. The only thing missing from today is the technology but I never really notice that it's missing. LJ Smith rarely dates her books by using references from the time period in which they were written, so they are typically pretty timeless. And since the Omnibus books are more recent, the covers also feel like they are from our time. The original covers scream "90's YA novel".
I always enjoy the books I read by LJ Smith and this was no exception. Next up... The Possessed.
