***Reviews***
"The main character is sassy, and really relatable. Her accidental job as a psychic is pretty eventful, and I really enjoyed how that unfolded, and how the characters evolved. I'd definitely recommend this if you like a bit of intrigue, a lot of giggles, and an end that makes you go 'ohhhhhhh'."
