Books like Mockingbird by Chuck Wendig
Miriam Black lives a quiet life on Long Beach Island, rattling between a rundown trailer and a checkout job at the local grocery store. She hides a deadly gift: the ability to touch someone and see exactly how they will die. When a serial killer begins targeting those around her, Miriam is thrust into a dangerous game that threatens to unleash the psychic storm she has been keeping in containment.
Amid the chaos, Miriam also grapples with a relationship that turns her world inside out, as her moods ripple through her life with Louis, who spends much of his time on the road. The looming threat of death and the relentless pursuit of a killer force Miriam to confront her calling—and her own desire for normalcy—before the stakes become too high to ignore.
