Description: Even if nobody else believes her, Faith knows she’s psychic. After all, she totally saw it coming when Peter, her boyfriend of two years, dumped her for her best friend. Heartbroken, Faith needs a new start. So when her good friend Carolyn suggests she move from Duluth to Minneapolis, Faith takes the plunge and embarks on a new adventure. But now her psychic powers are failing her. She has no idea who is behind the odd gifts left outside her door, or the weird phone messages. Faith believes in love, but knows she must solve the stalker mystery before she can trust any of the new men in her life. In the process she discovers that she has more to learn about life and following her instincts than she ever could have imagined

I love her writing style - so simple yet poetic. However, the ending was just not plausible. (I'll say no more as not to give anything away.) For that reason, I give it 3 and half stars, but I'm rounding up with my rating.

I liked it, but not as much as Adam's first book, The Godmother. It was definitely entertaining and complex, but I thought it got a little heavy-handed towards the end. Still definitely worth my time though - Adams is a great writer.
