librariann's review against another edition
Entertaining with a twistish ending. I don't love this author's style but it's a unique book, and better than "Skin" which I couldn't quite plow all the way through.

This book was really interesting. And even though I figured out part of what was going on, I was totally surprised by the rest. But some things were not resolved as much as I would have liked them to have been. It would be interesting to see if the author writes another book with this character.

An excellent pageturner about a high school girl who has The Sight: she sees visions of children in jeopardy, but only after they've died. She works with the deputy sheriff to try to find the kids' bodies, but reluctantly, because it's very harrowing for her. It first started back in kindergarten when one of her classmates went missing, and she saw a vision of him dead. She has very closeknit relationships with her 3 best friends, who do not know her secret, but then a new girl comes to school and begins to find her way into their inner circle, upsetting their longstanding friendships. Things start to get very suspenseful when she sees another little kid in a vision--but this one may still be alive! I don't normally like dark psychological suspense stories, but this one kept me interested and not too grossed out, it was fascinating, and I couldn't stop reading.

I finished this book yesterday, and gave it 4 stars. It was interesting, and overall a good read. However, I find myself mulling over a couple of questions it left unanswered... Today, I would give it 3 stars. I'm leaving it at 4 though, because I believe books don't have to be perfect to be likeable (Twilight comes to mind!)

This book didn't feel real. Most of the stuff that happened just made me go, "Huh?". At the beginning, I was pulled in. In the middle, it was really slow. Around the end, I was being bombarded with "wtf" moments. A lot of things happened that just didn't make sense, weren't explained enough to make sense, or were just really out of place. There were too many of those moments. It's okay (GREAT) to have things that surprise readers, but you have to EXPLAIN THEM. You have to make sure that they even have a place in your novel! That they're not just random things being thrown in to try and make things too interesting. I feel overloaded and can't even describe what I'm thinking.
The characters didn't feel real, either. Dylan did, at the beginning, and her friends, too, but then they just fell flat, and when they introduced a new character, she felt like nothing (until the end, which just... I don't know).
It might be that it's midnight and I didn't get enough sleep last night, or it might be that this book confused the shit out of me, but I really can't describe how I feel past that, or saying "AGH;ALKKLLSAKDFSJ;FDSA;DJFKASDLF BLAH."

Had lots of potential but it just does not work. Revelations of a long lost twin and teenage mother strain credibility. The characters sound much younger than they are. The emotional connections to a time 11 years ago seem false. Some mild swearing.

The characters felt realistic considering all the things happening around them.
