LIKED: This novel contains next-to-no romance. So it's not bogged down by ooey-gooey love. • A lot of twists and turns! • I finished this book in TWO DAYS. I couldn't put it down. • Maddie lives a pretty tough life – with death hanging over everyone’s head, and an alcoholic mother, and only one loyal best friend, Maddie dreads going to school every morning. Her mother forces her to do ‘death date readings’ for paying customers so that they can make a little extra money each month (which is booze money for mom). After a young boy is murdered, the mother is pointing her finger in Maddie’s direction, and suddenly, the FBI infiltrate her life. • The author planted seeds of doubt in every possible suspect, which was pretty thrilling. • Sometimes, nothing is worse than a predictable book. It’s safe to say that I wasn’t even CLOSE to unveiling the mysterious murderer all by myself.
