Something Sinister

So, I'm almost finished with the first of the three books in the Dark Visions omnibus edition, and I can tell you, something sinister is going on (isn't there always?). These books revolve around five teenagers with psychic powers. One character I find very interesting is basically a healer. He has a rather innocent view of the world (in some ways) and the main character, Kait, has a very big crush on him. Gabriel is another of the five students. He's very closed off to the other students and actually pretty scarey. He's just out of jail on parole. I don't really know how he can be out of jail when he's murdered two people, but whatever. He is definitely a little off, but I'm hoping he turns himself around eventually.
