I loved the uniqueness of the story, and that it is so beautifully written. The (human) characters seemed so real that I kept forgetting I hadn’t met them in real life. And the animal characters seemed equally real. The story is captivating from so many angles at once, plus Meredith take on the highly relevant issues, including mental health, the role of science and ethics, and animal rights.

This thriller kept me up late because I had to how it ended! But, more than that, what I loved its metaphysical aspect. And it's not your typical angle either--Mary Pascual delves into the responsibilities that come with psychic ability—Should it be hidden? Can it be misused? What is mind control? It rare that I find a book that engages me at this level.
