Genre: Mystery
Casey has always been gifted academically and therefore is now a sophomore in college even though she's only 17. Her father is very sick and her stepmother doesn't really want her around and has suggested she live in the dorms this year. Casey really likes her roommate, her part time job, and her new boyfriend, Marcus. It feels like things are going really well for her, but when she meets Marcus's dad for the first time she hears a mysterious voice tell her she's "been a bad girl" and she starts to spiral a bit. She finds herself in a small town she knows she's never been to before, but yet people recognize her and she definitely knows her way around. Is it possible she was here in another life? She starts to think she might be having flashbacks to the life of someone named Becky who died mysteriously the year Casey was born. Is it possible Becky is trying to tell her something about the way she died? Will she ever find out any answers or will people always suspect she's got a mental illness?
This suspenseful mystery is unique in that the main character keeps getting visions from what she thinks is a previous life, but she doesn't know what is real and what isn't. She also lost her mom in a tragic fashion so it's possible she is struggling to deal with that by making stuff up in her head. There are many people around her who all claim to want what is best for her, but it's difficult to tell who is telling the truth and who should not be trusted. Fans of Shepard's previous works will enjoy this fast paced title and it's exciting conclusion. Recommended for those looking for a light read.
