"Fresh, surprising, and compulsively readable."--New York Times bestselling author Andrea Bartz
A psychic on the verge of stardom who isnโt sure she believes in herself and a cynical journalist with one last chance at redemption are brought together by secrets from the past that also threaten to tear them apart.
Psychic-medium Sylvie Young starts every show with her origin story, telling the audience how she discovered her abilities. But she leaves out a lotโthe plane crash that killed her parents, an estranged adoptive family who tend orchards in rainy Oregon, panic attacks, and the fact that her agent insists she research some clients to ensure success.
After a catastrophic reporting error, Thomas Holmesโs next story at the L.A. Times may be his last, but heโs got a great personal pitch. โGrief vampiresโ like Sylvie who prey upon the loved ones of the deceased have bankrupted his mother. Heโs dead set on using his last-chance article to expose Sylvie as a conniving fraud and resurrect his career.
When Sylvie and Thomas collide, a game of cat and mouse ensues, but the secrets theyโre keeping from each other are nothing compared to theย mysteries and lies they unearth about Sylvieโs past. Searching for the truth might destroy them bothโbut itโs the only way to find out whatโs real.
