Author- Marlene Perez
Number of Pages- 190
Genre- Mystery, Supernatural.


This story was much different than any other book I have ever read. Even though it was out of my normal comfort zone, I enjoyed it because it had many differences and similarities to my real life and experiences. The book was centered around the life of Daisy Giordano. Her sisters and mom are psychic and she's just a plain norm. Her sister Rose, can read minds, her sister Poppy has telekinesis abilities. Her mother has psychic abilities as well, but she uses them to solve crimes in her hometown of Nightshade. Daisy once wasn't the only person in her family without "powers", her father was a norm as well. However, her father is missing, and that's a long going mystery that is a small problem throughout the whole book, but a very emotional subject for the characters. Furthermore, Daisy goes through many changes throughout the book, big or small.


In this book you learn about how Nightshade would never be considered an average, quiet, small town. It may be small, but it definitely shouldn't be described as average, or normal, for the most part. Many things happen in Nightshade that make me think this. As though it seems that mostly all of the "unusual" things happen to only Daisy and her family, you later learn that many people experience things like Daisy does.


This book was highly interesting to me because it never had a dull moment, something dramatic, or action-like was constantly happening. I personally would give the book a rating of 9 out of 10. I would do that because I really like the book and I think it'd be appropriate for most ages, but no lower than junior high level. I also think that it deserves that because some things that happen in the book would just never happen in real life, and I like books that are mostly realistic and also, there's a lot of books about vampires, werewolves and other creatures, and it just too common to me. Overall, it's a very good read and shows me how you should always expect the unexpected.
