In the
prologue, we get a scene with a girl named April, who has apparently been
kidnapped.
Then the
story re-starts with Heather, a teen that has just moved with her mom for a
fresh start, to forget about being clairvoyant or, in the phrase of her peers,
a freak. You see, Heather has visions. She resents not being normal, which is
why she’s always played it solo, never getting close to anyone. Then she meets
Barry, a total hottie.
Why does
Barry fear her house? What strange feeling comes over Heather over that
bedroom? It turns out that she is having visions over a boy that disappeared long
ago.
Told in the
POV of Heather, reader experiences her visions, seeing and feeling what the
victims felt.
For the most
part, this was an easy and compelling read. I liked the concept of psychic
visions and it was somewhat of a good mystery, but I felt the drama was
daunting. Heather just over-dramatized everything—her feelings for Barry, her
resentment toward her mother, her fear of being discovered a freak, etc. Also,
the case for the missing boy was a tad anticlimactic; that could’ve been more
compelling. I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to read the second in the
series, especially seeing that it concerns some government corruption. Nah, I
think I’ll pass.
My rating: 3 stars
