Well written with an interesting premise ( )

I really like this book. The main Character in this book deals with a lot of stuff in this book. She is a physic and she has to deal with the guilt of lying to her best friends. She is definitely dynamic character. She changes a lot, at the end she tells her friends about her power and that took a lot of gut that she thought she never had. I also like the fact that She doesn't just see the future she sees Kids that have been kidnapped. ( )

Kearsten says: I quite liked this one, despite it being a little short for my tastes. Dylan is a very sympathetic character - she's got a horrible "talent" for being able to 'see' the last things a murdered child sees before death, and therefore is able to lead police to find their missing bodies (and to possible clues to solving the murder). She's still understandably haunted by the first murder she saw: the death of a kindergarten classmate, whose murderer was never found. When another child is murdered and both clues and hints in Dylan's vision suggest that first murderer, dubbed the Drifter by her small town, has returned, Dylan's determination to keep her ability secret from everyone gets shakier as her nerves become more and more frayed by the fear taking over the town.

Dylan's struggle with keeping her secret, plus the somewhat overwhelming attention from the new girl in her class all combine to twist Dylan into a jumble of nerves, and she and her best friend's relationship becomes strained to breaking with the secrets kept from each other.

The identity of the murderer and the twists it reveals are a bit unbelievable, but the sparseness of Vrettos' writing is quite wonderful. It feels stark and desperate, conveying Dylan's feelings very well. ( )

Not a bad book! It was a really quick read and I liked the characters and their relationships with each other. It was really obvious who the killer was, but other than that this book was great. ( )

It is a wide-sky darkness, made pale by a full moon rising, the desert sand reflecting its glow.
