What if you could look into someone’s eyes and see how they are going to die?! Would you consider this ability to be a gift or a curse?
In @melaniegoldingauthor’s newest novel, The Sight, main character, Faith, has this ability. Her family sees it as a curse and she is ostracized from the family business that she loves so much, a traveling carnival. This slow burn thriller explores toxic family dynamics, superstitions, and heartbreaking betrayal.
I love the way Melanie writes and how she weaves folklore and magic in to every day issues and problems. I absolutely loved her book, The Hidden, and equally love The Sight. The audiobook is well narrated and the characters are well developed. I highly recommend this book especially if you love character driven magical realism novels.
