The review of this Book prepared by Amy




Years ago, Tori saw her best friend's dead body in her mind before Faith's body was found. People wondered how she knew, and Faith's family wanted to blame her. Tori's own father had been attempting to beat her visions out of her for years, and her life became more severe following Faith's death. Now, Tori has moved back to the town where she spent much of her childhood. And she discovers that girls who would be the same age as Faith at various stages during her life have been brutally murdered over the course of the years. All the while, Tori is trying to deal with her memories, her "sight", her feelings for Faith's brother Cade, and the bitterness of Faith's twin sister.
