The Rothston Institute can secretly manipulate the decisions of anyone in the world - from ordinary friends to government leaders. Possessing special mental skills used to accomplish its goals, college student Kinzie Nicolosi is training to protect humankind from self-destruction. A student missing an exam? A construction worker fired for an industrial accident? A Congressman ruined in scandal? Necessary consequences of honing her skills for the greater good.
But Kinzie brings more than her remarkable talent to Rothston. She bears an unexpected power that rivals Rothston's own ... and the clash may be something none of them can control.
The Kirkus Review calls Foreseen a "nuanced page turner" and "a worthy sci-fi thriller."
An "adventurous twist of genre, much recommended," says the Midwest Book Review.

this book is a little different by what the characters can do. if you understand physics and quantum foams (teleportation) then you'll understand completely. if not, (like me) then don't worry, the author does a pretty good job of explaining this concept. the person with the paranormal gift is called an "adept".they have the ability to see their world down to its microscopic values. when they do this they can see that person's future with their possible choices. the Rothston Academy educates and houses adepts. it is their motto to help humankind with their gifts. so they're suppose to be the good guys, but are they? Kinzie finds out her college freshman year that she is an adept. what will this mean for her life? she's always been a loner, never felt like she fit in anywhere. Will she now? and of course, there's a boy! her first! or does he stay in the "friend category? ok, so I liked the book. it had a good ending but you definitely know there will a second book. I would have scored this book a 4 star but there are so many errors that there's no way a reader can do that! this author is in desperate need of an editor, beta readers or a group of really good friends to comb through her books before she publishes. a bad edit of your book can cost you heavily in review ratings and with followers. frankly, most readers hate it when books are not edited well and will more than likely not return to that writer. :( hopefully this author will make the corrections and resubmit this book.Edit note: ok so... I'm going to change my rating. First time ever! :) i actually talked with author and found a very frustrated writer. She paid not one but two editors to go through her book with a fine tooth comb! So shame on those editors!! If you're a writer you might want to check with this author so you don't use those same editors! So I'm changing rating to a 4 star and not punishing the author for the bad edit job. :) the story truly is really good and the characters are great!

Foreseen The Rothston Series Book 1 eBook TerriLynne Smiles Reviews
I actually gave up on this about 50% of the way through, despite it being fairly interesting.
Pros well written and edited, very neat characters, very neat concept.
Cons Too much of an attempt to bury superpowers in real world physics. Felt like a contemporary fantasy that was being validated by quantum physics theories. Also, it felt like a glorified college romance novel.
Not a bad book by any means, but it couldn't keep my attention after the college portion bored me.
Foreseen was an enjoyable tale, blending sci-fi and fantasy together to tell the story of a young girl with the power to alter other people's thoughts and actions. She is, of course, not alone in holding this power, and conflict soon arises between the various factions of the "adepts" who can perform this feat.
There are a few pacing issues, especially in the beginning, but overall it was a fast read and well-written. I liked that the protagonists, though obviously endowed with more than their share of excellence, weren't perfect. There was also a fair amount of work done in developing the bad guys -- often an overlooked part of the craft.
I'm definitely looking forward to the second installment of the series.
I honestly had a difficult time finishing this book. For some reason it felt really disjointed to me, never really allowing for what I felt was proper development. The characters were supposed to be college students but I pictured them a lot younger in my head, especially Kenzie.
I will say that I enjoyed the way that the author used science in the story when she could have easily just said “these kids have special supernatural powers!” This made me waver between 2 and 3 stars but the fact that it took me so long to finish the book and I actually took a break from it to read another book, unfortunately put it in the lower category.
This is the first book in the Rothston series about Kinzie, a girl who finds out in college that she is an Adept, someone who can use her mind to influence people, things, etc. with her mind, through seeing the world on a physics level through turbulae. She soon gets involved in a conspiracy involving the Rothston Institute, a place that is in charge of, and educates, Adepts, and who use their powers to influence the Common world, the world of regular people. I love any books about people with super powers! I like how Kinzie evolved over the book, showing character development. The book was good throughout, and when I saw it was getting near the end, I stopped reading, so I could prolong it. Then I noticed that the next two books are already available, so I finished it up and moved on to the second.
This book was pretty good. Not perfect, but I did enjoy it, and it's definitely among my favorite indie books I've read so far.
POV switches between Kinzie and Greg, two college students who are both likable and relatable characters. There was, however, one point where I questioned something that seemed incongruent with Kinzie's character, and unfortunately that part was told through Greg's point of view, and so we never get to see how exactly she justifies it herself. Also, I had a bit of an issue with trying to keep track of lapses in time from one chapter to the next, when POV switched. But overall this was a fairly minor problem, and didn't detract too much from enjoying the book.
The plot with the Rothston Institute gets dealt with nicely, but at the end it was the romantic relationship I was really interested in, and I would have liked to see more of a discussion between the two involved about how they would resolve the issues that had split them apart before. You can see how it could be fixed, but still I wanted to see the actual exchange between the two addressing it. But perhaps I'll get my wish when I move on to the next installment of the series )
