    About this audiobook

    Last year, Teddy Cannon discovered she was psychic. This year, her skills will be put to the test as she investigates a secretive case that will take her far from home—and deep into the past in the thrilling follow-up to School for Psychics.

    With trepidation, Teddy enters her second year at The Whitfield Institute, a facility hidden off the coast of San Francisco where students master telepathy and telekinesis, investigative techniques and SWAT tactics for covert roles in government service. She has been obsessively tracking the movements of the Patriot Corps, a secret organization that seems to be behind a string of crimes on US soil—including the disappearance of her friend, Molly. She is not sure who she can trust with her findings: her friends think she is crazy and her teachers insist she focus on her schoolwork.

    Teddy tries to do what she is told. She tries to forget about her missing friend, her long lost birth parents, her rivalry with other students, even her forbidden romance with an instructor. She learns to be a meat shield: a Secret Service operative trained to protect whatever dummy they throw her way. She learns to disarm explosive devices. She also learn to transport herself through time, as she begins to grasp astral travel (that is, if she doesn’t get lost in the time-space continuum). But Teddy has never been good at following the rules. So when an unexpected assignment leads her to the answers she’s chased for so long, and reveal a clue about her own past, she takes a risk that puts everyone else she cares about in danger.

    The next book in the series that Kirkus Reviews called “Harry Potter with a cast of millennials,” K.C. Archer’s The Astral Traveler's Daughter is a heart-racing novel set in a world very much like our own—but there is more to this place than meets the eye.

      3.5 rounded up.
      It's an okay book. The plot definitely better in this one than the first one.
      But the pace.. the pace is so alert. Everything happens all at once. There are so many characters, so many plots, so little time (the first book had lots more plots, so in comparison this book is better).
      The action should be better presented and i can't believe i say this but character presentation should be in more detail.
      And can we not have her fall in love with everyone???
      And also.. what the fuck was that ending? It came out of nowhere (I'm talking about the girl and the boy).
    • 3/5
      Many thanks to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster and K.C. Archer for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advance copy.This sequel picks up right where the first book left off. Teddy and her friends are beginning their second year at the Whitfield Institute for psychics. This year they are learning how to use their unique abilities to intuit events from an inanimate object. Teddy was secretly given her mother’s necklace from Yates, whom she doesn’t trust. In Teddy’s private lessons, Clint has been teaching her to astral plane which allows her to leave her body and observe things that have happened in the past. Teddy is still plagued by not knowing whether or not her mother set off a bomb in New York City many years ago. She just can’t believe that her mother was a willing participant in the vigilante group the Patriot Corps. Her best friend Jillian has fallen in love with a cargo-shorts wearing boy who Teddy can’t stand. Jillian has been taking all kinds of risks for her new boyfriend and his animal rights activism. Things have been heating up between Teddy and Pyro and not just because he controls fire! She has been put on special assignment to protect Miles Whitfield, the grandson of Hollis Whitfield. While astral planing she discovers that Whitfield has been developing a drug to control psychics. Is the school just a front? Who, from the school is involved? What move will the Patriot Corps try next? How is this related to her mother and Sector 3? Teddy is hiding way too many secrets from everyone and if she isn’t careful, she will be putting everything on the line to get the answers she needs.First off, I think that if you haven’t read the first one in this series, you might have a hard time with this one. I read the first one a while ago and even I had a hard time getting into it, because I couldn’t remember all the details from the first book. There are a number of different stories going on this time around, but Archer does a great job of connecting them all together. I never felt lost or overwhelmed. Nick is out of the picture and there is a small romance with Pyro, but I thought that more could have been done with that storyline. Okay, I need the romance. It keeps things spicy! The friend group is really fractured this time, so I didn’t feel the camaraderie the same way as in the first book. That detracted a bit for me. I really like all the psychic stuff and what they were learning in school. Less time could have been spent on their summer and more focus on the school would have made it more interesting for me. I wasn’t ready to give that part up just yet. I really liked the addition of the new character Miles and that storyline. I’m not sure how much character development happened in this book, compared to the first. I loved the first book. I really liked the second book. Looking forward to seeing what happens in the next one in the series!
