This was a book with an interesting premise.
What if someone could sense the future, but be unaware of it.
Could they be helped to develop it?

Aliens visiting Earth seem to think so and they have searched for the right candidate for a long long time.

I won’t give away too much more of the plot, in case you might want to read it.

My recommendation is don’t.

Yes the girl learns to use her intuition, but is it really necessary to repeat it every other sentence? I can remember it.

This book is let down by being far too repetitive. Have a higher opinion of the reader. Trust that they don’t need to have the same facts drummed into their head multiple times per page.

This book also suffers from the Übermensch fallacy.

If you are really bored on a flight, you might pick this book up but if you are reading it for the enjoyment of reading find something much better.

I have no idea how or why I bought this book and I really wish I had not.

I would like if I read the same book as Charles Finch of USA Today who gave it a glowing endorsement. I find it hard to believe we read the same text.

There is nothing notable about this bore of a book. Everything is a cliche followed up by another cliche. The characters are one dimensional and with a few exceptions do not grow or develop during the book.

It was like a bad made for tv movie but a movie is usually done after 90 minutes and I spent longer than that reading this garbage.

It is about a woman who worked for a secret part of the government, so secret it doesn’t have a name. She had to run away from her job and life because now this non named government entity was trying to kill her and it develops just like you would expect.

I found out later that it written by the same author who wrote the “Twilight saga”. Had I picked up on that I probably would not have made the mistake of reading it.
