5.0

This is a YA contemporary fantasy short story set in Massachusetts. This is told in first person perspective and focuses on the FMC, Persephone Cockburn who discovers she has superpowers and is abducted along with her fellow student Alonzo. 

I really enjoyed this. I listened to the audiobook and I loved the narration! This was such a fun story, I loved the MC and I’d love to see more of this storyline. 

“It was like I’d become a ghost without having to go through the messy intermediate step of actually dying.”
“I just wanted to be somebody else, I didn’t care who. Sometimes I felt like I couldn’t breathe, like I was drowning in myself.”
