Lukens.
Tired of being known as the artsy oddball, fifteen-year-old Cam Reynolds hopes to fly under the radar when he changes high schools as a sophomore. It shouldn’t be too hard, considering he’s a human going to school with kids who have super-cool paranormal powers, like his best friend and witch, Al, and longtime werewolf crush, Miguel.
Then Cam has a psychic glimpse of the future in front of most of the student body, seeing a gruesomely murdered teen girl from the point of view of the killer. When Cam comes to, he knows two things: someone he goes to school with is a future murderer and his life is about to change. No longer a mere human but a clairvoyant, one of the rarest of supernatural beings, Cam finds himself at the center of attention for the first time.
As the most powerful supernatural factions in the city court Cam and his gift, he’ll have to work with his friends, both old and new, to figure out who he can trust. Because the clock is ticking, and Cam and his friends must identify the girl in the vision, find her potential killer, and prevent the murder from happening. Or the next murder Cam sees might be his own.
*MY THOUGHTS*
This was such a surprise! I haven’t read an F.T. Lukens before, but this one just sounded so good! It’s been awhile since I’ve read a paranormal book, so I was hella excited for this one. And I’m so glad it did not disappoint.
Ok so the paranormal world in this was so cool! There’s all sorts of paranormal beings, but the info about them is so scant. Besides the like wolf thing and the information that Cam gets about the new thing he found out, we don’t get much. I wish that we got more information about the others, but maybe it’s setting up for a series that will follow some others. I’m hoping that’s the case because I actually really want more of this story.
The mystery in this was cool tho. I did guess who it was, but I didn’t care because I was still so into the rest of the story. And plus, its been SO LONG since I’ve read a paranormal book, so I wanted to finish it out. And it didn’t disappoint! So it starts at the very beginning, so it hooks you right away. It does get a little slow in some places, but not enough for me to get bored. I was hooked in this one and I really couldn’t stop reading it.
The entire way I was enthralled tho was because of the narrator. Idk, but I really liked them. I listened to them several times in other audiobooks and I don’t think I thought about it as much afterward. For whatever reason I really got into this book and went to look up everything else that they narrated. It was really good.
This was so cute, but also so mysterious and dark. The whodunit is going to rock you if you don’t guess it. And tbh, even if you do because it still rocked me too lol This was a really cool (I hope) opening to a new series and I can’t wait to see more of what is to come!
Overall I give this,
