The Hungry Dark by Jen Williams

Jen Williams' latest book presents a captivating premise featuring a fake psychic with a mysterious past that resurfaces, leading her to the body of a missing child. The narrative explores the intriguing world of psychic phenomena, delving into the privacy pitfalls of social media and the ethical dilemmas faced by those exploiting vulnerable individuals. The sci-fi element of premonitions adds an extra layer of intrigue, intertwined with a present-day mystery involving a serial killer. Despite these individually compelling elements, the story's cohesion falters, hindering their full development. An entertaining read, though Ashley's family dynamics feel contrived and detract from the overall believability.
