It's never wise to talk to strangers...and that goes double when they're dead. Unfortunately, seventeen-year-old Anna Morgan has no choice. Resting on a park bench, touching the turnstile at the Metro station - she never knows where she'll encounter a ghost. These mental hitchhikers are the reason Anna has been tossed from one foster home and psychiatric institution to the next for most of her life.

When a chance touch leads her to pick up the insistent spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered, Anna is pulled headlong into a deadly conspiracy that extends to the highest levels of government. Facing the forces behind her new hitcher's death will challenge the barriers, both good and bad, that Anna has erected over the years and shed light on her power's origins. And when the covert organization seeking to recruit her crosses the line by kidnapping her friend, it will discover just how far Anna is willing to go to bring it down.

This started pretty slow for me. Didn't really get where it was going until you meet Aaron and Taylor and learn about their gifts too. Anxious for the next one already!

Slow start, but got good!

Great performance. The number of characters was a challenge to keep.up with at times. I will definitely read the next book in the series.

Solid and engaging story

Awesome!

Teen book, not bad. The story has some ten angst, slight love build up, and leads into espionage back story. I'll probably get the next book!

It's alright, probably get there next

The story was very captivating and new enough to hold my attention. However, the narrator's way of enunciating each word drove me crazy. It's not so much that she read it poorly, it's that she read it too properly. The conversations were stilted, almost as if someone were reading who spoke English as a second language (nothing wrong with that) and they wanted to make sure and get each word correct. It did not have conversational flow I guess. I think if there are more books in the series I my prefer to read them myself.

I liked the story but the performance was distracting

I enjoyed this book. I like the main character (Anna) quite a bit. The book had me interested within the first chapter. I love paranormal things, so that wasn't hard to do. I enjoyed the relationship between Anna & Deo. I like the character development between them. Once the pace starts to ramp up, things do start to go a little too fast, in my opinion. Perhaps I feel this way because it was an audio book, but nevertheless, I would have liked a little more suspense. By the end of the book, I became so confused with what was going on. The entire escape lost me /shrug. I will probably need to re-listen to some of the chapters again because I also don't understand how Molly is tied into the facility Anna and the others are in? I guess what I am trying to say is, this is one you have to pay full attention to in order not to miss things. I was listening while working.

The book reminds me a lot of the Darkest Minds novels. Not in a bad way. I loved those books, and I am happy to find a new series I can get into. I have already purchased book 2.

Pretty good!

I found Anna's powers to be an unusual twist. And perhaps I liked it because it mimicked one of my own characters in a novel I wrote years ago, except a bit reversed. LoL. I listened to the audio while driving out of state and it kept me completely engrossed. There were also other characters that had powers resembling the powers of a few vampires from Twilight (Edward and Alice particularly), which made me love this story more. But be aware of possible triggers for survivors of violence (woman especially), or parents who have lost children. These sections we're the hardest part to listen to.

Great Listen, but there are trigger warnings!

I took a chance on this series after reading the Chronos series by Ryssa Walker in 2018. I bought both series as Kindle plus Audible companion and the audio versions are narrated by the same excellent voice actress. The first novel is quite good though I am having a harder time relating to the lead character in this series. Good YA fiction even mature adults can enjoy.

Interesting start of a new series
