The synopsis instantly grabbed my attention and I am so glad that I read this.
This novel sets in Egypt in the year 2121 wherein the technology is so much advance that you can easily access it by using your ring to project a hologram. But then, what if you have a hila, which I'm guessing is some kind of sixth sense or superpower? I wish it was explained a bit better tbh.
Imara Kalu, the main character, is a truth seer, which means she can identify if a person if lying as she can see colors that define if that person is nervous, hoping, anxious, etc. She is looking forward to be a police interrogator in Kenya and was set to travel right after the graduation party. Things get chaotic when a group called "taggers" cause a stir in the party and kidnapped a few people, including Imara's sister Naki. Not going to spoil toooo much, but you'll have to read this one for sure!
The characters were intriguing, the plot and world building were both developed and interesting, I just wish the characters had more depth tbh.
Overall, I really like the book and I am definitely looking forward for the next one!
