 This book was really interesting. It's a mystery that kept me glued until the last page. But the thing is, half way through reading this book I found out that it was the second in a series. Which was actually kind of funny because while I was reading it I kept thinking that they should write a prequel to it about the summer adventure she kept referring too. Sadly, my library only has this book and not the first, Clarity. 

This novel is about Clarity (Clare) and her small town's eery mysteries. The unique thing about Clare's family are their special abilities. Her mom can read minds, her brother can talk to the dead, and Clarity can touch an object and see what the person saw who last touched it. After some summer events, Clare is something of a celebrity in school. And she hates it.

But her new status at school is the least of her problems. She keeps finding gifts and notes from a secret admirer. At first they seem innocent and Clare is slightly flattered. But soon, they become sinister and a girl in town goes missing. Clare doesn't know what to do. She has no idea who is stalking her and feels the need to find out what happened to the girl who disappeared.

The ending came as a surprise to me. I never could have guessed what happened. It was crazy! I loved it and I really wish my library had the first book. I think I will try some other libraries.
