Yeah, I was Claire Fern, tough psychic chick, member of the freak family. But if they stripped all those labels off people might be shocked to find a normal girl beneath. Who doesn’t want to spend her days on the defensive.
Who wants what everyone else wants.
To be loved.

While some are born with talents like singing and art, the Fern family are born with supernatural abilities. Clarity is a psychic, her brother, Perry is a medium and her mom, Starla is telepathic. Together they work at a business, providing readings to the good tourist that come to Eastport. When a sudden murder happens in town Clarie is asked to help out in the investigation and finds herself working side by side with the Mayer's son and ex-boyfriend, Justin and the detectives son, Gabriel to solve this case. But when Clarie finds out that her brother Perry was with the victim the night she died, Clarie is put in a no-end situation. Family comes first, and she has to do what ever it takes to protect him. What ever it takes.

This book was just awesome!!!
I don't think I found one element I didn't enjoy. The writing style is remarkable, it was so easy to get caught up in these characters lives. The plot-line has a great whodunit mystery that kept me on my toes and had me guessing through out the whole story and the characters are all strongly developed and really likable.

Clarie is freaken awesome! There's nothing like a fiery protag who doesn't take crap from anyone, specially idiotic mean girls or gorgeous guys for that matter. I like that she takes charge and doesn't need others to hold her hand. She can take care of herself and does a fine job of doing just that. That doesn't mean she doesn't feel hurt when others look at her like a freak, but at least she has the spunk to be who she is and hold her head up high. Love her!
Then there are the boys, Justin and Gabriel, who funny enough, made some jackass moves. (view spoiler)[Justin cheated on her, but it was a drunken mistake that he was truly sorry for, (hide spoiler)] that doesn't excuse him mind you, but at least he's always accepted Clarie for who she is and loved her because of it. He's always believed in her and that's a plus in my book. Gabriel on the other hand has issues with psychic and totally judged Claire just as soon as he found out what she was. Yes he had his reasons and he's charming and cute and came around eventually and blah blah blah, but I'm rooting for Justin in this one! (view spoiler)[One time, one mistake, forgive him, Claire and take him back!!! (hide spoiler)]
I also really love the protective brother/sister bond in this one, I don't know why but I've always love books with a strong family background and this one most definitely has it.
I also liked Madame Maslov role in all of this and was scared that she was going to be put in the plot a different way, which would have ruined it for me, but thankfully that wasn't the case and her character added a great touch to storyline.

The supernatural concept, while isn't exactly something new, still felt fresh and alive and entertaining. Harrington really delivered a cast of fascinating characters and an engaging suspenseful plot that I couldn't get enough of. I loved that we even get a few hints to what we might expect for the next book, making this, more of a must have!!!

Bottom line, I loved, loved Clarity and can't wait to see what happens next!!
For fans who love a good mystery and a sweet romance, this one goes out to you! Fantastic debut!!

More please!
