Violet Ambrose's junior year of high school is not off to a good start. Her feelings for her best friend, Jay are changing. Jay and Violet have been best friends since first grade, but now Violet gets butterflies in her stomach when they are together. Those butterflies are nothing compared to the sensation she gets when she senses a dead body is near. Since she was a little girl, Violet can feel the "energy or sensory echo" left by those murdered or by those who kill. Violet has never tried to control or direct her power until a serial killer arrives in her town targeting girls her age. Now it is up to her and a reluctant Jay to find the killer before he kills more girls. Derting has written a suspenseful mystery and romantic love story. Readers will find the characters and high school setting genuine. This page-turner will appeal to even the most reluctant reader.
