Sariyah Bryant isn’t a normal teen she’s a Black girl who inherited the ability to telepathically sense people’s needs from her grandmother. With this type of ability comes great responsibility but it could also lead towards danger. When her friend Deja disappears from a music festival without a trace it opens the door for hidden secrets and the harboring truth that society doesn’t care as much when a Black girl goes missing.

This book was everything I thought it would be. I love when a mystery keeps you guessing and has you pointing the finger at everyone. That’s how great of a job the author did with creating the whodunit suspense amongst the characters.

The danger surrounding Deja’s disappearance had me on edge until that unexpected reveal left me like WTF. I really wished the author went in a different direction honestly. But I thought the book had an interesting premise and I liked the shift in Sariyah’s perspective before and after she discovered the truth about everything.

Overall, the book was great but the ending felt rushed and I was still left with unanswered questions. It explored themes of systemic injustices within the Black community, the lack of media coverage given to missing Black girls , and the trauma of dealing with a parent with mental health issues. If you’ve read One of Us is Lying, Ace of Spades or A Good Girl's Guide to Murder you might enjoy this book.
