Synopsis

Full of imagination, wit, and random sh*t flying through the air, this insane adventure from an irreverent new voice will blow your tiny mind.
For Teagan Frost, sh*t just got real.
Teagan Frost is having a hard time keeping it together. Sure, she's got telekinetic powers -- a skill that the government is all too happy to make use of, sending her on secret break-in missions that no ordinary human could carry out. But all she really wants to do is kick back, have a beer, and pretend she's normal for once.
But then a body turns up at the site of her last job -- murdered in a way that only someone like Teagan could have pulled off. She's got 24 hours to clear her name - and it's not just her life at stake. If she can't unravel the conspiracy in time, her hometown of Los Angeles will be in the crosshairs of an underground battle that's on the brink of exploding . . .

Goodreads review by Holly (The GrimDragon) on June 16, 2019

"Oh, fuck this. I'm sorry, but fuck it. Right now I'm so tired I'm not sure I can make it to the bedroom, let alone get my clothes off. Solutions to life's problems can wait." The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind is quite the title, isn't it? It certainly drew me in! I had just.. ALL THE THOUGH......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on May 23, 2019

Nothing beats this title. I requested this pretty much only because of it. That being said, I read it with an open mind and expected a bunch of snark to go with my telekinesis. The trick to this kind of genre book is not to expect anything outright original but think of it as a great way of telling a......more

Goodreads review by Mel (Epic Reading) on December 06, 2019

I liked the concept and plot but felt overall disconnected with the characters. There is a lot of humour and wit (just like the title implies) in Jackson Ford's first book of a new series called Frost Files. However it often felt like the humour was just covering up for poor character development. J......more

Goodreads review by The Tattooed Book Geek (Drew). on June 07, 2019

As always this review can also be found on my blog The Tattooed Book Geek: [URL not allowed] Can I just say that the title of the book is fucking amazing! Sometimes you just want to kick back, relax, turn off from the world and enjoy a book. You want to read a book that is full......more

Goodreads review by Liz on June 06, 2019

This is seriously the most fun you’ll have with a book this year. Meet Teagan. She really can move sh** with just her mind but it doesn’t make her invincible and she’s all caught up in shadowy government affairs and a battle with her own past…. This is a fast moving, high octane thrill ride interspers......more

Quotes

"Furious, frenetic, fun, and "f**k you": All equally valid descriptions of this book and its punk rock chef/psychic warrior protagonist. It's like the X-Men, if everybody was sick of each other's sh*t, they had to work manual labor to pay rent, and Professor X was a sociopathic government stooge. A drunken back-alley brawler of a book."—Robert Brockway, author of The Unnoticeables

"Like Alias meets X-Men. I loved it."—Maria Lewis

"Ford's debut holds nothing back, delivering a sense of absurd fun and high-speed thrills that more than lives up to that amazing title."—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog

"Teagan is a frank and funny narrator for this wild ride, which starts off with our heroine falling from the 82nd floor of a skyscraper and pretty much never slow down . . . . A fast-paced, high-adrenaline tale that manages to get into some dark themes without losing its sense of fun."—Kirkus

"Ford's breakneck pace keeps the tension high, and the thrills coming the whole way through."—BookPage

"The novel unfolds cinematically with loads of breathtaking action, a perfect candidate for film or television adaptation . . . [Readers will] want more."—Booklist

"Ford's strengths are evident in the taut acton sequences and suspenseful pacing."—Publishers Weekly

"The writing and storytelling is as clear and fun as the title indicates."—Locus
