Lisa Unger
In this explosive psychological thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger, a young woman’s mysterious gift lands her in the middle of a dangerous investigation of a little girl’s disappearance.For as long as she can remember, twenty-year-old Finley Montgomery has been able to see into the future: dream about things before they happen, see beyond the physical world, and unconsciously make supernatural things happen. But Finley can’t control these powers, and moves to The Hollows to live with her grandmother, a renowned seer who can help Finely understand and master her gifts. But once in The Hollows, Finley’s gift proves to be both a blessing and a curse. Like Finley, Merri and Wolf Montgomery are in the worst possible hell. Their daughter Abbey has been missing for ten months. Leads exhausted, the police have all but given up hope; but Merri is unable to shake the feeling that time is running out, and makes a desperate, last ditch effort to locate her daughter. Finley and Merri are on winding, treacherous paths towards the same point. When they finally come together in The Hollows, nothing is as it seems. But one thing is clear: The Hollows always gets what it wants.

"I received this book from NetGalley in an exchange for an honest review.<br/><br/>I really wanted to like this book. The description sounds interesting, and like it could even be a little scary. DO NOT BE FOOLED. This story was incredibly boring, and I feel like I was tricked into reading a different story than the one described.<br/><br/>This book is mainly about a marriage that is falling apart, and a girl who apparently makes terrible decisions that aren't really explained, but with the tiniest bit of a mystery/thriller/horror aspect. I wanted it to be exciting, but it was over 300 pages of these unlikable characters complaining about their deteriorating relationships and lives. <br/><br/>The "plot twist" at the end is not good. I was surprised by it, but not in a way that was excited or drew any emotion. I was more surprised by how ridiculous it was. <br/><br/>The story was just basic surface-level information; the writer had the opportunity to go deeper with interesting topics like Finley's gift, or the town's secrets, but chose to prattle on about love (or the lack thereof) and relationships (and their demise).<br/><br/>I do not recommend this book, and once again, the synopsis is not an accurate description of what this book is really about. <br/><br/>"
