I wanted to like this book. It had a lot of promise and honestly, some of it was good but mostly it was so haphazard that it came across poorly. The formatting meant that it was hard to read at times - sentences didn't make sense, jumped around etc. But what most disappointed me was the entire "hang on where did that come from" - It goes from first day of school to oh she's literally the center of the Elevated kids and everyone wants to tell her everything about it? There was a whole information dump that came across as "already known" in an attempt at world building and it utterly failed. I'm hoping this is "first book syndrome" and that the series continues to a better second book now we have the basis of what elevated kids are etc. but I"m not hopeful. The whole last 1/4 of the book is just fanciful and thrown together.

An interesting book that follows a teenaged banshee. I was definitely interested in reading this from the blurb and it didn't disappoint.

Interesting blurb. Noah seems like your typical troubled teenager bouncing from school to school, except she’s a banshee and can see death. It’s very normal until halfway with the cliques and settling in, then things escalate at a quicker speed where the chaos begins. I liked both Sean and Colm. The cat made me curious and so many questions left up in the air. Looking forward to the next one.
