I read the first full book in Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamer's series before I ever got this on my Kindle for Blackberry application.  I have the second full book on my shelf ready to be read and I thought I would read this as a refresher first.  I enjoyed the quick story but it really is merely a teaser to the first book and I think that if I had missed out on this altogether it would have been no loss for me.  This sets up the story of Kaylee, a teenager who sometimes feels the urge to just scream.  These urges are brought on by a stranger and usually in a very public place.  One of these screaming fits takes place in the middle of a mall shopping trip with her best friend.  No one can ignore this one and it draws even more attention when Kaylee claws at her own throat.  This finds Kaylee locked up in a mental ward. Why is she here? What is really wrong with her?  Who is this mysterious girl, also a patient, who keeps staring at her?  The story read fast and Vincent is an enjoyable writer.  However, I have even read the first book (and enjoyed it)...I know Kaylee's big secret now, and I was still shockingly disappointed by the ending.  There is NO resolution at all.  Worse yet, I don't rememeber every finding out about the other girl in the ward....  Hopeful this gets brought up later down in the line of books, because its going to annoy me not knowing why the girl did what she did in the book and who she was.  Three stars because it was entertaining and I do enjoy the later books and its free.
