I love time travel stories, and Streetlight People had an utterly unique take on it. That, combined with an increasing sense of doom and tightly plotted narrative kept me racing to flip the pages. But it was the ending that made me fall in love with the book--the last 50 pages had my jaw on the floor. I definitely did not see any of it coming!
A little bit Twin Peaks, a little bit Black Mirror, Streetlight People is a story of growing up in-and out of-a small town with a huge secret.

I've been to many writing retreats so I loved reading a story set in writing retreat hosted by a famous author. But what I loved even more was the absolutely twisted mind of the author who turned that writing retreat into a literal nightmare--it also made me scream "why didn't I think of that!" It was a blast to read from start to finish.
“Sex, suspense, and the supernatural fuel this propulsive debut.” —People

Whitney knows what death looks like. Since she was seven, she’s seen it hover over strangers’ heads in dark, rippling clouds. Sometimes she can save people from the darkness. Sometimes she can’t. But she’s never questioned if she should try. Until the unthinkable happens—and a person she saves becomes the perpetrator of a horrific school shooting.
Now Whitney will do anything to escape the memory of last year’s tragedy and the guilt that gnaws at her for her role in it. Even if that means quitting dance—the thing she loves most—and hiding her ability from her family and friends. But most importantly, no one can know what really happened last year.
Then Whitney finds an ominous message in her locker and realizes someone knows her secret. As the threats pile up, one thing becomes clear—someone wants payback for what she did. And if she’s going to survive the year, she must track down whoever is after her before it’s too late.
