This book was absolutely wonderful. A short read is sometimes difficult to get into, and at first, I thought that was going to be the case here. But soon, I realized that the book was going at a fast paced so that it could relay the actual story, which takes place some years later. I feel that a prologue would've been a good choice for the start of the story.Anyway, I quickly felt for the main character, January. She put herself out on the line for a dead friend and became an outcast for it. Then she outcasts herself from her home town, but eventually learns to deal with her "gift" and help others.I like the fact that January's mother still tries to stay in touch through small gestures, like the Valentine's Day card. Then, when Jan does her reading with a client, I don't think she's as lonely as she thought she would be. At least not on the surface.The characters are also well put together and delicately described. I'm finding Ash intriguing and I can't wait to see where the relationship between him and January goes. She deserves something normal in a life of eerie and strange.  Ash seems to believe in her and her abilities and perhaps has his own ghosts that will be revealed in a later installment. He's a mystery.The writing in this story is precise and clean, which makes it easy to read. The end leaves the reader wondering if this case of Lianna will end up like Lori's. The similarities point to a deeper meaning. I'll surely be reading on.
