Thank you for the opportunity to read this book. I have attempted it on a number of occasions but unfortunately I haven’t been able to get into it.

The haunting of secrets by Shelley R Pickens.
Sixteen-year-old Aimee doesn't like to touch people. One touch and she sees their past. One graze over her skin and she can see all the good and bad deeds a person has ever done. It isn't until a bomb explodes during lunch that she realizes exactly how many dirty secrets the students in her school harbor-or exactly how far one of them would go to keep his secrets safe.

In the aftermath of that fateful day of the bombing Aimee is brushed by a fellow student as they are caught in the mob running for their lives. Images of tortured and murdered young girls rise up to choke her. The problem is, Aimee doesn't know who touched her. Somewhere in this school a fellow student is a killer, and Aimee is the only one that can find him before he murders again.

With the help of her friends Aimee must sift through her stolen memories to determine clues. The quest to find a killer unravels the very fabric of her carefully woven life. He won't stop until he silences her- for only she knows all his secrets. She will have to summon all of her inner strength to decide what she must do: hunt or be hunted. Are some secrets worth dying for?
A fantastic read with brilliant characters. I loved Aimee.  I loved the bit when the school blew up. The way it was written I could visualise the mayhem. I loved the ending to. 5*.

*thank you to Netgalley and City Owl Press for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

2 stars.

This was just ok. It didnt really work for me though as I found my mind drifted a bit too much. I dont think that there wasn't anything really wrong with it, just that it wasn't for me. I just didn't find myself absorbed in the story. I lost interest at around 35% but kept going hoping it would improve. It didnt but thats not to say others wont enjoy this. No book is for everyone.
