3.0

*E-ARC PROVIDED BY NETGALLEY FOR AN HONEST REVIEW*

2.5 stars.

Faye has an ability where she can see someone at the moment of their death, and when she sees the murder of someone she knows, she has to decide whether to tell her or not, and try to stop her murder from happening.

I'm a little disappointed, this story started out so intriguing, and had so much potential, but there were a few things that didn't work well.

Firstly I noticed several continuity errors, which is jarring and ruins the flow of the story.

Also Faye and her friends seem to make huge leaps in knowledge from one or two flimsy clues. For example

Spoiler

Faye leaping to the conclusion that the author of a diary from the 1600's (Genevieve) must have been a distant relative to her friend Hannah because Genevieve could control animals and Hannah can control water and earth. It's a stretch at best, but next thing you know Faye is telling everyone with certainty that Genevieve is Hannahs ancestor.

You can see the author is trying to keep the story moving, but it really could be handled more smoothly.
