Thank you to HMH Books for Young Readers for providing me with a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for review! All opinions are my own. The kidnapping was supposed to be easy-no one would get hurt and she’d get the money she needs to start a new life. It’s no challenge-her readings have always been faked, but this time she has some insider knowledge. From Goodreads: "Skye Thorn has given tarot card readings for years, and now her psychic visions are helping the police find the town’s missing golden girl. ![]() |
