Ally Moran has always just known about things—things she shouldn’t really be able to know…
Suddenly when she starts having vivid visions about a former friend who is in desperate trouble, the adults in her life think she might hold the key to an ancient mystery.
Jack Ruiz has a troubled past, but is trying to make a fresh start at a new high school…
He just wants to keep his head down and graduate, hopefully before he turns 20. The last thing he needs is to get involved with a feisty redhead and her psychic visions.
While Jack valiantly attempts to keep Ally at arm’s length, she is equally determined to be a part of his life. Who will win this battle of wills?
More importantly…
Can this unlikely couple work together to find answers to Ally’s visions before someone gets killed?

RebeccaHillary's Review
A Wiccan novel
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and if I didn't have to sleep every now and again, I probably would have finished it in one sitting!
Amy Reece has crafted thoroughly believable characters, despite the paranormal nature of the text, and it was fascinating to see the way they dealt with the conflict thrown at them. Ally was your typical outsider, not one for being in the cliques at school, but happy to be with her own friends without having to worry about impressing people - much like I was when I was at school, so it was easy to relate to her. Jack was charming and eloquent, which is refreshing to read, because most high school boys are written as too macho or too nerdy - it was nice to see such a well adjusted character with an undoubtedly troubled past. Veronica was very easy to feel sorry for, even though she comes across as your typical popular cheerleader most of the time. She didn't deserve what was happening to her any more than Ally did with her "gift", and their interaction was believable and rather touching.
The story had me guessing right until the end - most of the time with stories like this I'd have worked it out by the midpoint, but I just couldn't riddle this one out. Poor Ally - it's no wonder she felt so helpless!
I'll definitely be picking up the other books in this series, because Amy Reece has done an incredible job of mixing the paranormal with high school angst, and I think the series deserves to be read in its entirety.
