Synopsis:

Having clairvoyance isn’t easy...

After moving to a new town, Heather Reiner struggles to keep her psychic abilities a secret and establish a sense of normalcy…at least for her overprotective mother’s sake.

But when Heather starts having terrifying visions of a missing boy, she can’t simply ignore them. This time she feels an inexplicable pull to solve the crime, and slowly begins to believe that her supernatural gifts could actually help others.

After meeting Barry, the cute boy next door, Heather uncovers a few interesting facts that might help unravel the mystery. She wants his help, but getting Barry involved also means exposing her “gifts” and potentially putting both their lives in danger.

Because if she’s not careful, these terrifying visions might be driving Heather straight into the killer’s lair.

My rating: ★★★★★

I love mysteries, you probably know that. What I love even more are mysteries with a supernatural touch to them, which is what Visions was. It was just amazing! I really loved this book! Plus it was an Amazon freebie when I got it!

I really liked the characters in this book, I especially loved our main character Heather! I felt so bad because all she wanted to do was help whenever she had these visions, but it just seems to make things worse.

She’s really tried to work with her ability, but it’s not easy, especially not when the people around her just don’t understand. And then if she tries to ignore the visions, as much as she tries, she just can’t. Especially not when someone’s life is at risk. It’s the type of person she is. And that’s why I loved her! I also really liked Barry, her cute, new neighbor. He was very sweet and kind and so understanding! However, the one thing that bugged me about him was that from his point of view, his relationship with Heather felt very instalove-y. Ugh! I’m glad Heather was more thoughtful about this, actually taking the time to think about whether she loved him and whether she was ready to tell him if this was so. She is just a smart girl—I love her!

I loved this book overall! It was very sweet and thrilling with an awesome supernatural ability! That crazy thing with the little boy who’s in trouble... yikes! The end almost made me cry, honestly. I highly recommend it if you like mysteries with a paranormal twist and a sweet romance!
