Book Description
Death is inevitable. Whimsy Whitman knows this all too well. She was born with the uncontrollable ability to empathically feel how anyone in proximity to her will die. The unfortunate curse has left her homebound, depressed, and isolated from her worried family. It's also a secret she vows to take to her grave after the sadistic psychologist, Dr. Goodrich, in whom she'd once confided, had her institutionalized and torturously tested ten years ago.When Whimsy's split-second decision to venture outside her self-imposed captivity goes horribly awry, the fallout brings Dr. Goodrich bombarding back into her life, along with a slew of terror-induced psychic visions all demanding she run. Now the girl who's terrified of crowds, physical contact, and unfamiliar territory is driving a stolen car to New York City with the small hope of finding the secret to controlling her empathic abilities.When a serendipitous meeting with handsome Beck Hollis opens her eyes to the world outside her anxieties, she thinks her life is finally changing for the better. She soon learns that the limited confines of her childhood home were the only barrier keeping her true power contained. Stranded in the most crowded city in the country and able to feel how every single one of the thousands of occupants near her will die, she knows the tragedy about to destroy them all. Now it's a race to see how many deaths can be cheated before her own time runs out.
