SYNOPSIS:
The blockbuster film Inception meets Lisa McMann’s Wake trilogy in this dark paranormal thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Aprilynne Pike.
Charlotte Westing has a gift. She is an Oracle and has the ability to tell the future. But it doesn’t do her much good. Instead of using their miraculous power, modern-day Oracles are told to fight their visions—to refrain from interfering. And Charlotte knows the price of breaking the rules. She sees it every day in her wheelchair-bound mother and the absence of her father. But when a premonition of a classmate’s death is too strong for her to ignore, Charlotte is forced to make an impossible decision: continue following the rules or risk everything—even her sanity—to stop the serial killer who is stalking her town.
WHY SHOULD YOU CHECK IT OUT?
Just about everyone has, at some point, wished that they could know the future. But the idea that knowing what comes next might come with dire consequences if we mess with “fate” sounds horrifying! Now put your protagonist between a rock—a classmate’s death—and a hard place—knowing something will totally go wrong if she interferes—and that sounds like an intense situation.
In few shades, and no real color, the cover presents itself as a mystery. The girl’s eyes speak of sadness, tragedy, and a loss of innocence.
You might recognize author AprilynnePike’s other novels, like her hit paranormal romance “Wings” series or the recent “Earthbound”.
