Jamie Magee's See is the story of Charlie whose memories go missing after a night that turns wrong with her friends. Charlie is confused and her mother sends her to live with her sister in Salem. While there, Charlie's memories begin to come back and she learns that there is even more to them.I really enjoyed See and found myself unable to put this book down because I couldn't wait to know what would happen next. Charlie is missing her memories and confused by some of the memories that she does have. For the beginning of the book Charlie did drive me crazy though because she was a pushover. However as the plot all comes together, I definitely liked her a lot more.See is filled with several interesting characters. First there are Britain and Bianca who are Charlie's friends. However there is definitely something off about them and Charlie isn't sure why but she doesn't trust Bianca. Then Britain just completely creeped me out from the first moment he was introduced. When Charlie is sent to Salem, she is forced to move in with her sister Kara. I really liked Kara and actually wanted to get to know her better. In Salem, there is also Madison, Aden, and Draven. I loved the three of them and definitely wanted to know even more about them. I especially loved the twins Aden and Draven.I'm familiar with Magee's other series, Insight, and really enjoyed it so I was really excited to find out about a new book. I can definitely say I loved See even more. The plot was captivating and different.  I can easily say I have not read anything like this yet. The story could get confusing at times but that is also because Charlie is missing her memories. I felt just as frustrated as Charlie with being uncertain which character to trust and what was happening to her. However once it all started to come together, all of my questions were cleared up. I also love how music was incorporated in this story. I'm a huge music lover so I really enjoyed that. I will definitely be looking forward to what Magee writes next! Overall, I recommend See! It's a different and captivating story.*A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review
