Picking up a small pink shoe from the grass forever changed young Jackson Lee’s life. Not only did its presence mean that his sister Tessa was dead—murdered and stuffed in the deep, black water of a narrow well—but the shoe itself told him so.
Tessa’s death triggers an even more horrific family massacre that, combined with this new talent he neither wants nor can handle, throws Jack’s life into a tailspin. The years quickly take him from state homes to the streets to grifting in a seedy carnival, until he finally becomes the cynical All Seeing Eye, psychic-for-hire. At last, Jackson has left his troubled past behind him and found a semblance of peace.
That is, until the government blackmails him. Helping the military contain the aftermath of a bizarre experiment gone violently wrong, everything Jackson knows about himself will change just as suddenly as it did with his little sister’s shoe.
And while change is constant...It’s never for the better.
I love spooky books and was attracted by the cover immediately. The synopsis read as if a lot is happening in this book and its all very exciting. The reviews are very positive. As I do not read enough scary books at the moment I hope I will be able to read this book soon.

This sounds wonderfully frightening and I can see why you would have been drawn in by the cover. I hope you get to read it soon and love it. I will have to add this to my TBR for when I get in those rare moods for a creepy read.
ReplyThat does sound really scary. I've read a couple of books in a different series by Rob Thurman (boy, was I surprised to find out Rob Thurman is a woman!), but hadn't heard of this one. I hope you enjoy!
