"Now I see dead people"
The most frightening thing about 16 year old Faye's ability to see dead people is that she sees them as a premonition before they are murdered and yet in the excellently written debut novel The Hidden Legacy by brilliant author Christine Rees she cannot stop her father's death.
The brilliance of this novel is that it combines everything readers of fantasy, YA paranormal, coming of age and comic books love. Faye just wants to be "normal" but when she makes friends at her new school who can control someone's mind, seem to be invisible (yes seem to be - no spoilers), and zap a person's life energy her loneliness and low self-esteem dissipate as she slowly comes to accept that maybe she isn't a cursed but a gifted human.
There are many sub plots from the actual hidden legacy, which is connected to the salem witch trials and creatively presented, to life decisions when Faye sees Rachel's murder and must decide to either keep quiet and risk Rachel's life or tell her about the premonition and risk her own life.
There are heartfelt relationships, my favorite being Ethan and Faye, especially since he is far from being "normal". There are action packed physical and emotional scenes that are crafted with literacy precision so that they played out like a movie in my mind. I saw it all and want to see more. Fortunately Book 2, The Broken Rivalry is available Now!
If you are a fan of shows like Medium, Supernatural, The Ghost Whisperer, X Men, The Avengers (mostly Wanda), and any teen drama from 90210 to Riverdale this is the book you want to read.
I received a free copy of this book from the author via #netgalley for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved it! I was hooked from the first chapter, and Christine Rees brings Faye’s adventure to life with unique characters and a fast-moving plot. This novel had me laughing one moment and gasping with shock a few pages later - a must read for any fans of YA fiction! I thoroughly enjoyed and will forever support Rees and her amazing work!
