Goodreads Summary: Micah hates her ability to “see” things when she touches people. She’s terrified of relationships, holds on to guilt over the death of her classmate, Lacey, and has no idea what to do with a vision from Landon, a boy from her school. She feels him falling for her, but Micah doesn’t do friends, much less relationships.
Enter a spooky history project about a tragedy from three hundred years ago, and voodoo dolls that Micah somehow feels has to do with her gift. Suddenly she’s sure the shadows in the woods are following her every move—without Landon’s relaxed attitude about what’s happening in her life, Micah would be sure she’s going crazy.
With no ideas on timing or specifics, the visions of both herself and the people she cares about are turning dark—and it appears the shadows around her house do move on their own. But as Micah and Landon try to prevent Micah’s visions of the future, the shadows close in, and they’re now afraid they’ve become the cause…
Micah’s story is the first of three girls, with unique talents, who are part of a 300 year old tragedy that follows them in the shadows.
My Review
Micah’s ability to see things has made it so she doesn’t like to be around people. She doesn’t like accidently bumping into people at the risk of finding out things about them she didn’t want to know. When Micah arrives at her new school, she tries to purposely be late to class to avoid seeing. The only person she doesn’t mind touching is her mom, but now that they have moved, there is a new face besides hers that she sees through her mother. Micah feels alone and has felt that way since she was five. They only person she can’t see images from is her father. When she goes to visit him, we find out why.
There are so many exciting and cool things that happen in this book, I can’t give any more details. As with all of Jolene’s book, the characters are well written and the plot is page turning. There is a cool legend mentioned with voodoo and shadows.
I really enjoyed this book. I thought that Micah’s insights were very cool, and they always kept me guessing. I loved how they were glimpses of what could happen. Or are they?
4 out of 5 stars.
Content
