Review Detail

What do you do if you're a teenage girl with the ability to see things that others can't, disturbing, haunting images that are revealed at the slightest touch?

If you're seventeen-year-old Hether Reiner, you seek solitude, avoiding friends and any kind of social life. When her mother movies her to a new town, she hopes that somehow, she can find a way to fit in. But when she realizes that one of the former residents of their house was a small boy who was brutally murdered, a heinous crime that has gone unsolved for ten years, Heather must find a way to use her gifts to find the boy's killer before another child meets the same fate.

Kimberly Readnour's writing style pulls you right in, making the story very difficult to put down. You feel the emotion, the heartache, the awkwardness of being a teenager in every paragraph, but who also imbues Heather with a moral code that allows her to place the welfare of others above her own needs. And, of course, no teenage heroine should be without a handsome boy to draw strength from. Though her friendship with her handsome neighbor and classmate Barry does add a worthwhile dimension to the story, The story never loses its balance between the characters and the plot, which moves along at a brisk pace.

I will certainly be reading the second book in this series, and would recommend this story to any who love paranormal thrillers.
