UNCANNY DAY, by Cory Clubb, is a young adult supernatural mystery.

PUBLISHER: StoneHouse Ink

RELEASE: August, 2013 (Paperback and Ebook)

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Nolan Day can read your mind.

Trading classmates’ secrets for quick cash is simple—it’s the whispering voices and nosebleeds that make it difficult. Things get worse when his latest client decides to step into oncoming traffic. Trying to unravel the mystery of why and right his mistakes, Nolan discovers a darkness lingering inside the mind that threatens human existence and forces him to confront his own broken past. Nolan’s only choice is to ask his untrustworthy foster brother and a girl who’s out to expose his secret for help. Although, when thoughts become deadly, who can you trust?

——————————————–

I had the pleasure of reading the advanced readers copy of Uncanny Day, and was very impressed with Cory’s debut novel. The main character  is easily likable, the telepathy uniqely done, the mystery engaging and the romantic subplot a strong hook into character empathy. All of these factors combined to make this a fast paced and enjoyable read.  I often say that YA is not my thing, but Clubb uses all of the above elements to show me that a good story is a good story, no matter the genre. Nolan Day’s telepathy allows him to see into people’s minds as if they were rooms or places with key pieces of information that he needs to unravel the mystery. This uniquely done magical system engages the reader to remember clues to a case that goes from teenage gossip to the possible deaths of those close to Nolan. His ability and charisma with his best friend and crush has series potential, and reminds me of my favorite show, Castle, but if Rick and Kate were best friends in High School–and of course you added telepathy to Rick’s many quirks.

At $2.99 on Kindle, (or Nook), Uncanny Day is definitely worth picking up, both for the fun read and for supporting an up-and-coming author (who also does amazing cover designs under the title Go Bold Designs). Amazon also has a paperback version, for you paper only fans.
