My Review
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  Imagine being able to see spirits, seeing someone’s past or present by just touching them.  That is what life is like for Ayira.  Being the daughter of a witch doctor is difficult enough without special gifts, gifts she considers a curse.  When she’s taken onto a slavery ship, she’s tormented by what she sees, hears, and feels, she then gets rescued by a Native tribe, and has to come to terms with who she is in order to save the Native American people.  This was a pretty good story although I wish it was longer with more background on Ayira’s family dynamics and how she ended up on the slave ship to begin with.  The characters were interesting, although none of her fellow slaves has much compassion for her except Imani, which I found rather surprising.
