"I see everything they see. I’ve died. I’ve died more times than I can count."

Sandra Daron knows what it’s like to die. Every time she touches someone, she experiences their last moments; burning, drowning, choking, dead.

Her visions shatter any pretense of normal she might wish she had. She’s a freak, isolated and alone in her small town junior high school. Her parents don’t care what she does or where she goes and all she wants to do is get by without being noticed.

All of that changes when a rough-around-the-edges father moves his two boys into the old house next door. The Sloans are a family in a way Sandra has never known. The brothers won’t let her hide and soon love and passion arouse the life within her to fight off the death she sees every day.

When girls in town start disappearing and Sandra becomes the next victim, she’ll learn just how far the Sloans are willing to go to save the ones they love. But something bad done for the sake of something good doesn't make it right. Sandra might have the power to save the people in her visions, but is she willing to pay the price?

An unorthodox family brought together by a young woman’s premonitions of death, Sticks and Stones is a dark and gritty Gothic romance about roads paved with good intentions.

Reader's List Review

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 29, 2016

I was put on the author's early reader's list, bought the book, and received an advanced PDF to review.

It's all a question about right or wrong, good or evil, and if you had a chance to right the wrongs of the world, would you do it and to what costs?
The scenes in Sticks and Stones provoke sadness and despair that Sandra has had no support or love during her childhood until she meets her new found family who gathers her in despite the unconventional and unbelievable things she can see. It's down right scary to imagine knowing the future, especially with all the bad things happening in our modern world, and who would believe you anyway? However, once the Sloan Family are believers, they want to help, but there is a price to be paid, especially if by saving the intended victims you become the vigilante and take the law into your own hands.

What happens when you cross that line and how do you stop once you've crossed over? Some passages are so dark that you fear that there is no hope. Have they crossed the line once too often or can they hold back and let the proper authorities do their job?

[Spoilers ahead]

In the end the truly evil one (a veritable psychopath whose lack of empathy chills me to the core) is destroyed, but we can only hope that this wasn't the one case that pushed them over to the dark side with no returning. I fell in love with the characters, feeling their loss and pain as Lem's life was distinguished. And the hostility and despise I felt for the evil one that lurks in their world.

[Spoilers ended]

I hoped that they would find a way to even the score without losing themselves and learn to control what they do without losing their love for one another. After all, doesn't Sandra and the boys deserve a little happiness?

Interesting characters!

Sticks and Stones follows the lives of Sandra Daron and the family that "adopts" her. Sandra has the ability to see visions of the future, and takes it upon herself to use her powers to protect the people she loves — differently from how they are able to protect her.

This book has compelling characters and an interesting premise. My only criticism would be that I wish the story advanced a bit faster, because I wanted so badly to know what happened in the end! A great read for anyone who enjoys the paranormal genre.

A Must Read

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 31, 2016

Sticks and Stones From the beginning chapter I was drawn in and remained totally immersed throughout the entire book. I read it in two sittings - it locked me in and would not let me go. Loved the author's brilliant descriptiveness which made me feel as if I was in the same space as the characters in every thrilling situation. A paranormal murder thriller with just the right amount of sexual content. Looking forward to more from this amazing author. Definitely a "must read".

I really enjoyed this book. In fact, it was so good that I couldn't stop reading it and finished it in less than a day.
The main character is likeable and I really feel for her. I don't always agree with the decisions the characters make in the book, and those same decisions alter their lives in an unimaginable way.
If you enjoy a paranormal thriller, you will enjoy this book. I highly recommend it!

Can you imagine seeing other people's deaths? I don't have to, I've read the book. I love the way Angele Gougeon wove tension and intrigue into every chapter giving just enough insight to leave me always craving more.
