The Underhill's are a unique but dysfunctional family, famous by history, infamous by nature, and all guarded and mysterious.
Zoe has a power that's a gift and a curse, she has a supernatural talent to reveal memories by touch, finding truths and escapes. Others in her family can charm and manipulate, and it has given their family a dark reputation for trouble and chaos.
She thought she had escaped, making a new life for herself, but the past won't let her be free until she solves her mother's death. Her brother takes her back to their hometown and demands that she use her gifts to unlock the truth from 20 years ago, which means confronting her family, discovering long buried truths, and identifying her father.
This is a gripping blend of suspense, drama and tragedy, with a murder mystery to solve, memories to decipher, and dark realities to face.
It also explores trauma and coping mechanisms combined with paranormal gifts, and a sub plot of growing romance.
I enjoyed the range of characters and how Zoe unearths their secrets, they have turbulent family dynamics pushed by holding onto their family legacy, and finding the truth seems the only answer to set them all free, and save the town.
This has beautifully lyrical language, an eerie backdrop, and a good pace that keeps you intrigued and rooting for Zoe to find the answers she needs.
I particularly enjoyed seeing Zoe's character become bold and fierce, and finding her peace and freedom.
