About this ebook

If science is right, then I am crazy. And crazy is dangerous.

In a world where nothing supernatural exists, Tess Eckhart is positive she’s going crazy. After her complete freakout at a high school party, her family is too. So much that they pack their bags and move across the country, next to a nationally-renowned facility for the mentally ill.

Tess is determined to fit in at her new school, despite the whispers and stares. But when it comes to Luka Williams, a reluctantly popular boy in her class, she’s unused to a stare that intense. Then the headaches start, and the seemingly prophetic dreams that haunt her at night. As Tess tries harder to hide them, she becomes increasingly convinced that Luka knows something—that he might somehow be responsible.

But what if she’s wrong? What if Luka Williams is the only thing separating her from a madness too terrifying to fathom? 

Ratings and reviews

this book is incredibly beautiful. in the end you will realize it was worth reading such a story. this book brought me back to reading after 11 years and im almost 30. so yeah. its amazing in your own world. if you think about it. also i have read so many books on teenage years, but i am glad i have found this one year ago. since then i have read another dozen or more series of greatness. ♥️😌 I HOPE HOLLYWOOD WILL LOOK AT THODE BEAUTIFUL COMMENTS FROM ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO READ SUCH A STORY AND MAKE IT KNTO A FILM OR TV SHOW. You have so many resources out there. use them. Those type of stories deserve to be heard. ♥️😌

This story is set some time in the future. It was especially difficult for me to read once I got into the story. It talks about how the government could possibly deal with mental illness in the future. Knowing that more people suffer from different types of mental health issues every day made the book so believable & true to life. It is an interesting take on how society could deal with these issues in the future. I definitely recommend you read this if your life is touched by issues with mental health.

The synopsis is so cliché that I can't exactly pinpoint which exactly lured me in to start reading this. However, when I did, I wasn't able to put it down. I finished it in one reading after coming home from a night shift! It's a dystopian novel that somehow doesn't feel like it. The mixing of the action and the romance was just right for me. Not to much flirting on the otp. Also like that it's more on the spiritual than the supernatural side. Makes one think if a Godless society wil be truly peaceful.
