3.9 AVERAGE


I’m obsessed with this!!! A psychic, a missing kid, and conspiracy theories all in one place - AMAZING!! I didn’t wanna put it down & regretted that I did (except for the fact that it extended the time I got to enjoy the story)

This was an interesting read, written in a style that took some getting used to. Descriptive, twisty, intelligent writing. The heroine is quite a character, and her backstory plays a big role in the story.

I quite liked this. Not your average read.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Good story. There was a lot going on but the story kept moving and it all came together in the end. 🎧

I devoured this as an audiobook and immediately want to read it again with a physical copy in my hands so I can highlight all the expertly drawn prose, atmospheric tension, and figure out how Heaberlin managed to so expertly weave the threads of plot and balance the unanswerable mysteries of the universe with hard and gritty reality.

Dearest Julia,

Please please please write a sequence! I'm not done with these characters yet.
