Don't Die Dragonfly - Linda Joy Singleton

After getting kicked out of school and sent to live with her grandmother, Sabine Rose is determined to become a "normal" teenage girl. She hides her psychic powers from everyone, even from her grandmother Nona, who also has "the gift." Having a job at the school newspaper and friends like Penny-Love, a popular cheerleader, have helped Sabine fit in at her new school. She has even managed to catch the eye of the adorable Josh DeMarco.
Yet, Sabine can't seem to get the bossy voice of Opal, her spirit guide, out of her head . . . or the disturbing images of a girl with a dragonfly tattoo. Suspected of a crime she didn't commit, Sabine must find the strength to defend herself and, later, save a friend from certain danger. 

Don't Die Dragonfly is a wonderful mix of a high school romance, supernatural powers, danger and mystery. 

Rose has visions of the future, of a girl bleeding, a girl with a dragonfly tatoo, she then meets the girl and deciced to try and help. It all connects together, the girl and the robbery of items at school. 
Rose and her friends, Manny and Thorn try to figure out who is stealing from school and trying to frame Rose meanwhile Rose has trouble at home with her grandma, who is turning to someone else as an aprentice in 'the gift'. Dimitri, the extreemly hot guy who can talk to animals. Rose had hidden her gifts for years, trying to fit in at school but when she realises she needs her grandma's help, the grandma won't believe her, thinking she's only jelous of Dimitri's new position in her life.

This book has loads going on and I didn't stop reading it until I finished it, the book was compleetly full of mystery,  managed to keep me turning the pages but was able to reach a climax at the end.
Revenge helped made this book very interesting. Sabine Rose hates her boyfriend's best frind Evan, an obnoxious stuck-up brat who just tosses girls away with the flick of a wrist, the girl with the dragon atatoo being one of them. At the end revenge becomes very, very sweet.

The one thing that annoyed me about this book was Dominic, a seemingly very interesting character, but left compleetly unexplored by the author, at the begining it was an interesting mystery but nearing the end it just got very annoying. Wwe learn nothing of his past, although he plays quite a big role in the book.

THis book left a LOT of unanswered questions and I plan on reading the sequel to find the answers!
