When a teen has an unexpected vision about a future murder, he must juggle newfound interest from the supernatural community with trying to prevent the murder from happening in this "riveting" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) New York Times bestselling romantic fantasy from F.T. Lukens. Fifteen-year-old Cam Reynolds wants to spend his sophomore year flying under the radar. That shouldn't be too hard, considering he's a human going to school with kids who have paranormal powers, like his best friend and witch, Al, and his longtime werewolf crush, Mateo. Then Cam has a psychic glimpse of the future in front of most of the student body, seeing a gruesomely murdered teen girl from the point of view of the killer. When Cam comes to, he knows two things: someone he goes to school with is a future murderer, and his life is about to change. No longer a mere human but a clairvoyant, one of the rarest of supernatural beings, Cam finds himself at the center of attention for the first time. As the most powerful supernatural factions in the city court Cam and his gift, he'll have to work with his friends, both old and new, to figure out who he can trust and who might be a werewolf in sheep's clothing. Because the clock is ticking, and Cam and his friends must identify the girl in the vision, find her potential killer, and prevent the murder from happening. Or the next murder Cam sees might be his own.
Regular high school was tough enough for me. Add in a new power and all the responsibilities to use it wisely to try and save a mysterious girl from being murdered, all while just entering 10th grade in a new school district and unsure about the status of his friendship with long time pal Al, and I really feel for Cam. This is cute story with lots of feels, figuring out friends, dealing with parents who have closed minds when dealing with the paranormal and finally connecting with a crush and I loved it all. I did like how it focused more on friendships than just a love connection because friends are what Cam needed most in this time of the chaos of his new powers and standing in the paranormal world as he was no longer plain human. I was certainly rooting for him and his new friends as they worked to save the girl, though there was plenty of other drama.
Cam was a certified and accurate clairvoyant so everyone wanted a piece of him, from other students to the covens, packs and guilds in the area, gifting him with presents and making in harder for him to see if people liked him for him or just his powers. The story dealt with that well and I got warm fuzzies when he found how how stalwart his friends were, no matter the situation (and it does have some dark moments when that is sorely needed!). It was a sweet story though and I highly recommend it! Plus it goes by fast and you can get through most of it in one sitting because it will hook you from the very first page!
