Out yesterday, debut YA author Jessica Branton’s paranormal thriller, How to Experience Death for Beginners! Want to win a copy? Read on to find out how… A clairvoyant introvert can enter the minds of people at their moment of death. When a serial killer emerges in her small town, she receives audacious advances from an enigmatic newcomer. Hunting for the slasher herself, police become suspicious as she appears at crime scenes. While dodging detectives and falling in love with the new bad boy, she learns about her dark family history. When an FBI agent comes to assist local police, he believes in her psychic power and they work together to take down the killer. This book really started off with a bang when we get to experience the emerging power of our main character, Casey. Imagine being seven years old and seeing your father die - through his eyes? Jump ahead years - and now Casey is in high school, and she has tried to bury that power, along with worrying about her sister and mother - and then there’s the new guy Cameron who just moved to town. He’s cute - but does he come with his own pain and darkness? And then...it happens again. Casey jumps into someone else - a woman, a stranger - and sees her murdered right before her eyes. But it doesn't stop there - Casey continues to jump into other people who are about to die, all at the hands of the same person. Is there a serial killer on the loose? This book was a fast read and had tons of action. The conflict is established early and the story has many characters. Although the dialogue and development of characters could have been stronger, if you like this genre, I'm sure you will like this novel! Want to win a copy?
