faerietears's review
4.0
This sat on my "reading" shelf here on GR for far too long.
I actually finished this book LONG ago.
This is the story of a girl the world sees as a Goth and a loner. Weird.
What they don't know is that Aimee has a secret. With one touch she will see everything that's ever happened in your past.
So, when a bomb goes off in Aimee's school cafeteria, killing and injuring numerous students around her, Aimee is disoriented and worst of all - the gloves and long sleeves she wears to protect her from others' touch are gone. In the mad dash to escape the wreckage of the demolished cafeteria Aimee is touched and what she sees is a violent past so terrible she vows to find out which of her peers is responsible.
Aimee teams up with her best friend Dejana to pick apart the visions of a killers past that continue to plague her and stop him from killing again.
This story had me turning the pages, not wanting to put it down, needing to know what is going to happen next. This is an author who isn't afraid to take some risks with her characters and the risks pay off.
The ending is satisfying but leaves the door wide open for a sequel. Which is coming. In the spring of 2015!
4 Stars.
* Note - this is a novel meant for older teens as it does contain some very violent themes, though it in no way glorifies violence.
* Note - This book is published by the company I work for and I am the cover designer, however my opinions on the book remain the same. It rocked.
