I was given this book in return for an honest review. Take a 16 year old skater named Mike who sees visions of other people's misfortunes and you have a book all in itself. Add to that the weird girl he almost hits with his car, who in turn gets hit by a different car, and poof, you have a serious mystery. When Mike can't reach anyone after Nadia is hit by a car, he takes her home and cleans her up himself. She should be dead, but come morning she's gone, leaving behind a wad of much needed cash. He doesn't know why he sees visions, he doesn't know what Nadia's game is, but he knows something isn't right. Mike isn't the only one hiding a secret and Nadia's secret may be his salvation or his downfall. His friends aren't any help because they don't know his secret and he's not sharing and the old saying applies here especially. "Friends make the worst enemies. They have all that personal, inside knowledge to hurt you with." I liked the cool twist this book took with not only a male lead, but with the double mystery. What he is and who Nadia is.
