Publisher Description
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 . . .
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Cozy up with a fun and exciting sci-fi spy thriller. Teagan Frost is a woman who reluctantly uses her powers of telekinesis for China Shop, a government black-ops group disguised as a moving company. But when the outfit’s latest target is found dead, suspicion falls on the smart and sarcastic Teagan, who’s given 22 hours to clear her name. Author Jackson Ford keeps the laughs coming even during the well-choreographed supernatural street fights and breathtaking chase scenes. We really enjoyed how each piece of Ford’s mystery revealed new insight into Teagan’s strange powers. The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind is full of thrills that will keep you on the edge of your seat—and laughs that may knock you right off it.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ford's first Frost Files action-packed misadventure is led by frustratingly limited characters. Teagan Frost is a genetically engineered psychokinetic government operative living in Los Angeles under an alias. When the target of an undercover operation is found dead with a length of rebar wrapped around his neck, Teagan is the prime suspect, as she's supposedly the only person in the world who's able to move objects with her mind. Teagan has 22 hours to prove her innocence before she's condemned to a lifetime as a government lab rat. With the help of her reluctant team of house movers and government flunkies, Teagan pursues the only person in the world who's just like her. Ford peoples near-future L.A. with a motley crew of misfit tropes the bumbler, the temperamental grouch, the conniver and marginalized characters who regrettably veer toward the stereotypical, including an angry black woman and Latino gang members. Perhaps because the characters are flimsy, the romantic subplots are underwhelming. However, Ford's strengths are evident in the taut action sequences and suspenseful pacing, which tie the book's central mystery together. This one is purely for undemanding fans of adrenaline rushes.

Another sci-fi novel ruined by poor understanding of tech
If you aren’t in a career or interest group with a lot of technological understanding this might be a good book but within the first chapter minor plot points based on basic misunderstandings of how tech works today ruined it for me. This is probably how police officers feel reading procedurals and lawyers reading legal thrillers, so your results may vary.
