About this ebook

Psychic...or psychotic?

Anna knows her family is crazy. But when she goes to visit her aunt and uncle for the summer and learns that her uncle’s charred body has been found, her life reaches a new level of insanity. Her erratic aunt’s “psychic” abilities are exaggerated by her grief, and have become borderline violent. Alone in an unfamiliar town, Anna struggles to pick up the pieces and establish any sense of normalcy. She desperately wants to trust Zack, the cute boy next door, but even he might know more about the incident than he is letting on.

But when Anna starts feeling an inexplicable pull to the site of her uncle’s murder, she begins to believe that her family’s supernatural gifts are real after all. Torn between loyalty and suspicion, Anna is certain of only one thing: she must discover who killed her uncle or she could be next….

Ratings and reviews

This book is all about a teenager named Anna O'Neill and about the mystery of her uncle's death. It's a romantic mystery. I loved the book and the ending really surprised me.

This is one of the best books i have ever read. I love how the auther really makes you feel like you are in the story, like you are the main charter. The whole plot is perfect in how it all really makes sence at the end. If I could change anything in this story I would leave it as it is. Everyone should read this book; put it at the top of your reading list. NOW :)

I loved this book! It really made you think about in some spots, but I loved it!
