Description
A thrilling young adult speculative mystery featuring a Black teen with an extraordinary gift who must uncover the truth behind her friend’s disappearance before she becomes the next victim. Perfect for readers who enjoy suspense, supernatural twists, and stories like Ace of Spades.
Sariyah Lee Bryant possesses a rare ability: she can sense exactly what someone needs, whether it’s something as simple as a pencil, a phone charger, or a forgotten hair tie. Only her family and her closest friend, Malcolm, know the secret behind her unusual talent. But when she helps her friend Deja by fulfilling one of those needs, Deja mysteriously disappears soon afterward, leaving Sariyah questioning whether her gift has become a dangerous burden.
Haunted by the fact that this isn’t the first friend she’s seen vanish, Sariyah refuses to let Deja become another overlooked missing Black girl. Unwilling to rely solely on law enforcement or the media, she joins forces with her friends to uncover the truth and follow the clues before it’s too late.
At the same time, life at home is falling apart. Her mother unexpectedly loses her job, and her younger brother’s battle with sickle cell disease grows more serious, placing even greater pressure on the family. Struggling to keep everything together, Sariyah makes a risky decision to earn money by using her supernatural ability for others. But the deeper she digs, the closer she comes to the truth—and the more she realizes she’s walking the same dangerous path that led to Deja’s disappearance.
Blending mystery, supernatural suspense, and emotional depth, this compelling debut explores friendship, family, resilience, and the fight to make sure every missing person is remembered.
