When you can see things others can't, where do you look for the truth?

This paranormal murder mystery will have teens reading on the edge of their seats.

Clarity "Clare" Fern sees things. Things no one else can see. Things like stolen kisses and long-buried secrets. All she has to do is touch a certain object, and the visions come to her. It's a gift.

And a curse.

When a teenage girl is found murdered, Clare's ex-boyfriend wants her to help solve the case--but Clare is still furious at the cheating jerk. Then Clare's brother--who has supernatural gifts of his own--becomes the prime suspect, and Clare can no longer look away. Teaming up with Gabriel, the smoldering son of the new detective, Clare must venture into the depths of fear, revenge, and lust in order to track the killer. But will her sight fail her just when she needs it most?

My Thoughts...

I've had this one my list since I saw the cover and also the trailer.  I don't know why I waited so long to read it but either way it was a great read.  I love a good mystery and this falls into that category.  I feel that the writing was solid and that Clarity was also a great voice and character.  I also liked the romance angel of this story.  Overall in my opinion it was a light read but a good one.  The rest of the character cast seemed well written and genuine.  One of my favorite characters was Miss Maslov,  while she personally didn't get much page time she played a big part in the story, and in the end left Clarity with more questions than she had to start with.  I look forward to reading more about Clarity and the gang, and I can't wait to see where this story s going to go.  I give this one 5 stars!
