Tara can locate lost objects - keys, phones, and even people. But she knows that this strange ability can bring trouble, so when bully Melodie Stone goes missing, she wants to keep her visions to herself. The images she sees won't go away, though - should she risk humiliation, or worse, by trying to find her?
This is a shame, as there's a fair bit of it which made me think that Green might be an author I'd enjoy. The start is a bit slow, but the atmosphere is built up very well, and I thought the chemistry between Tara and her love interest was good. Additionally, the revelation about why Tara was so keen to avoid using her ability was handled well. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this one, but I'd probably take another look at more from Caroline Green in the future.
I think my favourite mix of contemporary and paranormal so far this year is the breathtakingly bizarre, but brilliant, [[Dance of Shadows by Yelena Black]]. You might also enjoy [[I Remember You by Elisabeth de Mariaffi]].
