Book Blurb:
A mysterious chest.
A terrifying vision.
Are their newfound powers enough to take down an unspeakable evil?
Chloe Blake’s campus rental has it all: a retro Victorian vibe, a beautiful picture window, and a perfect view of Ethan Reynolds—the guy who broke her heart and lives across the street. But when she sees disturbing visions of death slide across the panes, she’s convinced she’s glimpsed into Ethan’s future. She’ll stop at nothing to change fate and save him… even if it means everyone will think she’s crazy.
Wren Galloway has lost track of all the crummy cities she’s lived in. Plagued by nightmares, Wren wakes in a cold sweat with the vision of a nearby Victorian house still in her mind… and a strong urge to seek out the powerful talisman calling to her from its attic.
Drawn together by an ancient force, Chloe and Wren must work together to discover the house’s secrets and unlock their hidden powers to take down the shadowy specter that haunts their premonitions and leaves death in its wake.

My Review:
3.5 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Mystery, Romance, Supernatural, Suspense--
Miranda and Chloe are excited to be moving off campus into the cute little house right off campus. When Chloe starts to get strange feelings and see visions of the future through the front window of the house, Miranda is convinced that Chloe is tapping into her psychic powers. When the window starts showing her visions of an accident and a strange disturbing fog, Chloe knows that she needs to make an attempt to try and change the future before it is too late.
I think my favorite part of the book was the friendship between Miranda and Chloe. They there for each other in any way needed, be it to tamper with a car, interpret visions, tease about a boy or even tough love if needed. This is the type of friendship that everyone should strive for in life and it made me happy to have it as one of the main relationship dynamics of the book.
The one thing that I did find myself struggling with the book was the chance in narrators. The first 2/3 of the book was narrated by Chloe and occasionally Ethan, but then the last third of the book was narrated by an entirely new character and occasional bad guy points of view. We never really went back to Chloe (we see her occasionally, but never as the main character), who I had assumed was the main character and my favorite, so I felt like I was missing something.
This is very much the first in a series where the world building is just starting and the conflict is being presented. I am not sure what will happen next but I would be interested enough to pick up the next book!
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance, complimentary copy of this book.
