Thank you to Macmillan Audio for my review copy. My opinions are my own.
I binged listened to this debut over the course of a single day, hanging on the edge of my seat as I listened to Alaska Jackson tell Sariyah's story. Gifted/cursed with the ability to know what people need, Sariyah is trying to deal with her brother's illness, her mother's depression, and then one of her friends goes missing at a major music festival, and things spiral out of control.
Loved the characters, and the idea of knowing what people need without them saying things, and how quickly that gift could be turned on its head and become a curse. I also loved the deep south location, I could feel the humidity of Atlanta in the words.
Alaska's narration was perfect, hitting all of the right tones, emotions, and delivery. I may have screamed at the end, and stared off while going "what?... what?..." I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
Highly recommend for those who enjoyed A Good Girl's Guide To Murder, Blood At The Root, The Poisons We Drink, and Blood Debts.
