A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is feeling isolated by their own intuition or struggling with the weight of being different from their peers. It speaks directly to the anxiety of knowing something is wrong but being unable to convince others, making it a validating read for teens who feel unheard or misunderstood by the adults in their lives. The story follows Hilary, a girl burdened by psychic visions of a killer, as she navigates the terrifying gap between what she knows and what she can prove. While the book functions as a fast paced 90s thriller, its emotional core explores the loneliness of a unique perspective and the bravery required to trust oneself when everyone else is skeptical. Parents should note that while it contains suspense and mild horror elements typical of the Point Horror era, it serves as a great bridge for reluctant readers who enjoy high stakes and immediate engagement. It is an ideal choice for a teen looking for a spooky escape that also mirrors the common adolescent experience of feeling like an outsider.
