Sight by Adrienne Maria Vrettos

The cover of Sight is an open eye. It is fringed by some lashes, it has some interesting colors within, and it is surrounded by white. It is pretty, forgive me here, EYE CATCHING.
The story is even better.
Adrienne Maria Vrettos first caught my attention with Skin. Her new novel, Sight, is equally compelling, but a completely different topic.
Now, I am not sure where I stand on the whole ESP/Second Sight issue. Things like that tend to overwhelm me because if that is possible, then endless other things are possible, and my little mind isn't ready for that.

However, reading about Dylan's SIGHT was interesting. Dylan can see children who are already dead. She then leads cops to their bodies. This helps everyone with closure. She has had this Sight since she kindergarten. No one has ever told her anything about it. In order not to be viewed as a freak, she has kept the whole thing under wraps. Her mother knows, but urges her to keep quiet about her talent. But now a killer has returned to town and Dylan's Sight is changing. It is adapting. Will she be able to save the next victim? And what will she find out about herself?

Vrettos has posted Chapter One on her website. Give it a look!


****Readers who are into this idea will also like Wake by Lisa McMann. You can visit her website and watch a trailer for her novel by clicking on the link or read my review in the archives.

Either novel, you come out wishing you had secret powers.
