text: This is most definitely a young adult book. The main character, Ivy, is a psychic detective who can read the past of a person or thing by touching the object in question. Her reaction to horrifying things discovered this way is to cry, scream, pass out for days at a time, etc. Kinda silly.... In this book she sets out to rescue a fae king and save her city from an invasion by the same nasty characters that kidnapped the fae king. I thought this was an adequate story but don't need to read any more of the series.
