TLDR: A story of two gifted sisters who go on a trek to find their mother – Nora – who disappeared five years ago. This is a baby-suspense novel, so if you want to dabble in a new genre this would be an easy way to try something new. There’s also lots of geographical references to Texas, so that was fun for a native Texan. Overall – I’d say it’s interesting, but wouldn’t qualify for the best suspense novel I’ve ever read (check out The Last Thing He Told Me, by Laura Dave instead).
The Longer Review:
Zadie (oldest) and Finn (youngest) are two sisters with a sixth sense; Zadie is a psychic, and Finn has echoes/can re-live other people’s memories. The two pair up on a journey using their respective gifts to figure out what happened to their mother Nora, who disappeared five years earlier.
There are some fun travel bits in this along with the Texas references which are a fun way to break up all of the “magic” which is not usually something that I’m into. It’s got an intermediate dose of suspense (what happened to Nora/where is she?), which may keep you reading. There are some chuckles woven in with characters that show up throughout the story, so overall this is a pretty light, easy read. Maybe not my absolute favorite, but if any of the above intrigued you then give it a go.
