clairvoyance, otherworldly races and the imagined dystopian nature of
futuristic society that is familiar with the Hunger Games series. Think of it as an adult version of Hunger

What I love about this book is that there is not a word in this book that's uncalled for. I don't believe in ghosts, that's reality. But this book can take you far away from that, as far away as your silver cord allows it to (Don't worry you'll understand once you've read it). The chapters are quite small and very visual, and at the end of each, you'll be drawn into the next, meaning you can't put it down once you've started. The language feels natural and hence easily understood. About the protagonist, I can only say that, you'll learn from her the true meaning of courage and grit. At the beginning, you may find it hard to keep track of the terms, but don't worry, they are used repeatedly, and so, by the end of the book, you'll be an expert on all types of clairvoyants and related terms. Good luck and welcome to the world of spirits:)
