What if you could witness tragedies before they happen, but had no way of proving what you saw? Psychic Phantasm: The Amanda Staples Series is a gripping paranormal drama that digs far deeper than a standard supernatural detective story. Rather than focusing purely on action, author A.A.G. Sharp beautifully explores the profound psychological and emotional toll of carrying a “gift” you cannot control.
The book’s emotional core truly shines when Amanda uses her phone’s mysterious timeline-hopping visions to orchestrate a breathtaking reunion between identical twin sisters separated by a tragic 30-year-old beach kidnapping. However, the narrative doesn’t shy away from the darker side of premonitions, specifically during a heartbreaking St Kilda hit-and-run and a dangerous final confrontation in Griffith. It is a deeply moving story about grief, enduring friendship, and the painful search for purpose in a chaotic world. A stellar, highly recommended 4-star read!
