Washington Post 10 Best Books Of 2023

Hi, I'm Lauren Agustin. Seventeen years old and I lived by myself. My parents were killed right in front of me. Pero hindi ko nakita kung sino ang taong pumatay sa kanila dahil bulag ako. After my parents' death, my eyes miraculously healed. However, I started to have a vision of people's death. And then I met Luke. A guy whose death was also seen in my vision. I told him about my vision of his death but he didn't believe me. Although Luke mistook me as a crazy girl, I still tried every possible way to help him to avoid his death. Luke didn't die because of me, and later on, we developed a special feeling for each other although we sometimes bickered because he doesn't believe in me. Ginamit ko ang kakayahang ito para bigyan ng babala at mailigtas ang taong makikita ko sa aking pangitain na siyang susunod na mamamatay. Ngunit sino nga bang tao ang maniniwala sa aking mga sinasabi na hindi ako pag-iisipang nababaliw? How did I have this mysterious ability? And will I be able to find my parents' real murderer?
