Yulia doesn't know how she came by her gift, she only knows she can use it to her advantage when selling goods on the black market in the USSR. She's a fantastic protagonist, telling us of her troubles and how she tries to fix them.
This is a colorful cast of characters, ranging from a wanna-be dictator with rage issues, to the hot Russian boy with the ability to see places remotely and a dream to play professional hockey, to the girl who can see all the possible futures and help or hinder everyone, to the man who has a power so strong he could control the entire world seemingly without effort.
Sekret poses an interesting idea based in historical fact- if the psychics consulted, recruited, and used as spies during the Cold War really had the abilities to read minds, remote locations, and tell the future. Not to mention what side they would choose when the time came. It also gives the reader an opportunity to see that in times of duress, there might not be anyone you can truly trust- even yourself.
Sekret is captivating from beginning to end, leaving this reader wanting to know more.
