Thank you to Sharon from Fiction Addiction Book Tours for sending me this ARC.I've read a couple of other books by this author so I was looking forward to seeing where her latest book would take me.It began with an introduction into Holly's life and because it was told by Holly herself it felt incredibly personal, almost like I was listening to an old friend. This also made me like her straight away (even when she announced that she could eat whatever she wanted and still stay thin - so not the case in my world but I can dream), she was mostly a very positive character and while I was reading I found myself feeling positive alongside her.Holly was an estate agent and her psychic abilities were soon revealed when she had an adverse reaction to a house that was going on the market, I actually got chills at this point and there were many more moments throughout the book when I broke out in goosebumps. Having had a few unexplained experiences myself I felt closer to the story and I think this made it seem more real for me. I'll admit that I was a bit scared on a couple of occasions at the beginning and I know I'll be nervous looking in my rear-view mirror after reading this!I found it very interesting to see how Holly's psychic episodes affected her day-to-day life, the author had written it beautifully so that I felt like I was a part of each incident too. I was absolutely fascinated by all the little things that was happening to Holly and I couldn't stop turning the pages to see what the outcome would be. The introduction of Nick and, later on, Peter took the storyline to an interesting new level and I felt that this was when Holly really came into her own.One of my favourite parts of the book was the clairvoyance evening - I found it so moving and literally had tears pouring down my face by the end of it. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, along came the ending and completely blew me away! It confused me at first but when I realised what was going on I couldn't stop smiling, in my opinion there couldn't have been a better outcome. I will definitely be rereading this so that I can look at everything from a different viewpoint.This was a fantastic read - it was spiritual, thought-provoking and I ended up reading it in just one day because I couldn't put it down.
