Customer Review

I just finished my reading and I must say that for a first novel, Melissa is doing rather (very) well.
I could not help but tie me to the characters. Justine schoolgirl who has a gift that enables him to foresee future events. Visions that leave each time exhausted, nauseous and with a headache carabiné but can count on the unwavering support of his brother Julian, a big protective brother (but not too much, just enough) and her best friend Manon. So our friends are a trio who knows since childhood and for them, the visions of Justine are part of their everyday life and they learned to manage crises.
But now his visions and show him changing events, crimes will occur. Panicked, Justine did everything possible to try to save future victims but there she succeed?
Does it not risk ending up, in turn, the victim of this killer?
I admit that Justine's donation comes a bit like a hair in the soup in the sense that one learns only later in the story from when she and her visions she sees! At first, we must accept this gift without asking too many questions and the end seemed to me too steep. Obviously I can not give you detail (no, no ... do not insist .. ^^) but some details of the outcome would have pleased me.
I enjoyed my reading despite some shells in the text. The suspense rises gradually to a level that put my little heart to the test. Melissa cleverly manages to lead us on several tracks to deceive us about the identity of the killer. And I loved the budding romance between Justine and Nico, they are too cute but shy and reserved Justine, there is no !!
On the other hand, with this gift, we can understand it sometimes feels (and often) different.

A first novel that I advise you to discover as soon as possible.
