Description
"A powerhouse debut. Eileen Ruvane is definitely one to watch." -Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author
Perfect for fans of Krystal Sutherland and Courtney Summers, this YA debut follows a girl who pretends to be a psychic to solve a long-ago murder-and starts having real visions of the future.
Kess Turner is used to starting over. Her mom has dragged her all around the country her whole life, never spending longer than a few months in one place.
But nothing is normal about their new home-a dusty psychic shop-or the the way Kess's mom was summoned when a mysterious accident left the psychic Madame Amalia in a coma. When Kess finds coded messages and cash hidden among the crystal balls and Tarot cards, she knows there's a lot more to the story than her mom is telling her.
Desperate for answers, Kess poses as a psychic in order to pump Madame Amalia's clients for information-only to start experiencing strange visions of events that actually come true. The more she investigates, the more she suspects her mom and Madame Amalia were involved in a murder years ago.
When Kess's visions escalate-and seem to predict her own death-it becomes clear that if she wants to save her future, she'll first have to unravel the secrets of the past . . .

Reviews / Votes
"A powerhouse debut. Eileen Ruvane is definitely one to watch." * Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling author * "Razor sharp, darkly funny, and deliciously twisty. Eileen Ruvane is a fierce new talent." * April Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Stolen and In the Blood * "Nothing is as it seems in this page-turning debut. Suspenseful and brimming with adolescent heart, Tell Me My Future is not to be missed!" * Kit Frick, author of I Killed Zoe Spanos * ***STARRED REVIEW***"An excellent choice for readers who might normally shy away from the paranormal. Amidst a cast of lovable and flawed characters, the mood flows gracefully from thrilleresque to high-school drama and back...an ideal addition to the YA literary landscape during a time when teens crave murder with a twist." * Booklist * "Explosive and satisfying...A well-executed and atmospheric debut." * Kirkus Review * "Teens will admire Kess's ability to adapt while recognizing it is her care and concern for her friends and her mother that are her greatest strengths...For fans of...thrillers that touch on similar topics of secrets, lies, and identity change." * School Library Journal *

Person
Eileen M. Ruvane knows something about visions that come true. In third grade, she told herself the future: I'm going to be a writer. Since then, she's made her living writing, first in advertising and public relations, then for her own business, a brewpub and craft distillery she co-founded with her husband. Along the way, Eileen has written about a weird and wonderful range of topics from stock options and whiskey to zombie diets and rotten teeth. By far her favorite thing to write is twisty mysteries and thrillers. Tell Me My Future is Eileen's debut novel.
