One
year
ago,
Kitty's
boyfriend
Nikki
Bramley
visited
a
psychic
who
told
him
he
had
no
future.
Now,
he's
dead.
With the Bramley family grieving in separate corners of their home, Kitty sets out to find the psychic who read Nikki his fate. Instead she finds Roan, an enigmatic boy posing as a medium who belongs to the Life and Death Parade--a group of supposed charlatans that explore, and exploit, the thin veil between this world and the next. A group whose members include the psychic... and Kitty's late mother.
Desperate to learn more about the group and their connection to Nikki, Kitty convinces Roan to return to the Bramley house with her and secures a position for him within the household. Roan quickly ingratiates himself with the Bramleys, and soon enough it seems like everyone is ready to move on. Kitty, however, increasingly suspects Roan knows more about Nikki than he's letting on. And when they finally locate the Life and Death Parade, and the psychic who made that fateful prophecy to Nikki, Kitty uncovers a secret about Roan that changes everything.
From rising star Eliza Wass comes a sophisticated, mesmerizing meditation on the depths of grief and the magic of faith. After all, it only works if you believe it.

Recenzii
"This
haunting
tale
has
the
atmospherics
of
Yovanoff's
The
Replacement,
blending
mysticism,
danger,
and
a
love
that
lasts
beyond
death.
Eerie
before
erupting
into
full-blown
creeps,
this
gothic
mystery
has
a
strong,
pragmatic
heroine
at
its
core,
but
even
she
isn't
immune
to
the
hope
offered
by
belief
gone
dangerously
wrong."—The
