Synopsis: Picking up a small, pink shoe from the grass forever changed young Jackson Lee’s life. Not only did its presence mean that his sister Tessa was dead—murdered and stuffed in the deep, black water of a narrow well—but the shoe itself told him so.
Tessa’s death triggers an even more horrific family massacre that, combined with this new talent he neither wants nor can handle, throws Jack’s life into a tailspin. The years quickly take him from state homes to the streets to grifting in a seedy carnival, until he finally becomes the cynical All Seeing Eye, psychic-for-hire. At last, Jackson has left his troubled past behind and found a semblance of peace.
That is, until the government blackmails him. After Jackson is forced to help the military contain the aftermath of a bizarre experiment gone violently wrong, everything he knows about himself will change just as suddenly as it did with his little sister’s shoe.
And while change is constant…it’s never for the better…
Review: Another book I meant to read a couple of chapters on and found myself unable to keep my eyes open anymore at 3/4 of the book read! I was SO immersed in this book- the author grabs you in the first chapter and never lets you go! The characters grow more and more on you, and you don't want to leave them. You think you have the story all sorted out and then BAM, the author gives you an ending that makes you go WHOA! Then you sit in awe- as you realize the signs were there, but like the characters, sometimes we overlook minor clues! You'll find yourself wishing on one hand the book hadn't ended, and on the other for a sequel, as the characters are SO endearing! Let's hope the author agrees! We highly recommend this book- it's a perfect Fall read!
