If you\u2019re into mystery and suspense, and you aren\u2019t worried about potentially getting creeped out and\/or ending up with nightmares, this could be the book for you!\u00a0 Evie O\u2019Neill has a gift \u2014 she can \u201cread\u201d people\u2019s pasts just by touching an item they\u2019ve used.\u00a0 The only problem is that Evie used this gift as a party trick, and she ended up making a local big shot very angry.\u00a0 Her parents decided that the easiest course of action would be to ship her off to live with her Uncle Will in New York City until things blew over.\u00a0 Little did they realize that Evie was thrilled to be heading out of Ohio and into a big city where her flapper style and sassy attitude would be better appreciated!<\/p>\n
