About the book...
Fifteen-year-old Cam Reynolds wants to spend his sophomore year flying under the radar. That shouldn’t be too hard, considering he’s a human going to school with kids who have paranormal powers, like his best friend and witch, Al, and his longtime werewolf crush, Mateo.
Then Cam has a psychic glimpse of the future in front of most of the student body, seeing a gruesomely murdered teen girl from the point of view of the killer. When Cam comes to, he knows two things: someone he goes to school with is a future murderer, and his life is about to change. No longer a mere human but a clairvoyant, one of the rarest of supernatural beings, Cam finds himself at the center of attention for the first time.
As the most powerful supernatural factions in the city court Cam and his gift, he’ll have to work with his friends, both old and new, to figure out who he can trust and who might be a werewolf in sheep’s clothing. Because the clock is ticking, and Cam and his friends must identify the girl in the vision, find her potential killer, and prevent the murder from happening. Or the next murder Cam sees might be his own.

I gotta say, I'm loving the cast of characters, the spread of paranormal options/abilities, and the murder mystery it's all built around. It's not a case to solve with a variety of folks involved, but a variety of folks that happen to NEED to solve a case...before they become one themselves! 😱 We get to explore the paranormal side of things, while navigating the rough waters of first being "only human" and then not-so-only human to the exception of being UBER special. We get to experience all the feels with matters of the heart, but with the tinge of "could it be them" hesitancy attached while everything plays out. There are moments of OMG, and times when you feel like you just know what'll happen next...even when it continues to twist, turn, and surprise.
If you're a fan of the author's previous works, DO NOT MISS THIS RELEASE! If you haven't experienced their writing as of yet, I highly suggest you do and this story makes as good an entry point as any to get started!
