The Dragonfly Season: Streetlights Like Fireworks Book 2 David Pandolfe

Publisher Marketing: Psychic flashes, visits from ghosts and telepathic connections. Must be time for date two. For Lauren, there's nothing particularly scary about seeing ghosts or experiencing psychic flashes. After all, this is the world she knows. Still, none of that prepares her for suddenly connecting with the mind of Vicky Stearns, a girl she's never seen before. What caused the connection to happen? Why, of all the people in the world, did she receive this psychic distress call? Lauren's confusion soon turns to fear when she learns that the girl went missing earlier that same day. Part of Lauren wants to pretend this vision didn't find her. It's darker than anything she's had to deal with before, the stakes so much higher. She also knows more than anyone what it means when a child goes missing. After all, she hasn't seen her own brother in over a decade and has been looking for him since. There's only one person Lauren can think of going to for help. Jack is the only person she knows with psychic abilities keen enough to help her navigate the visions that have been gripping her. The problem is, she hasn't seen him since last year. She also gave him every possible signal that it was over between them, hoping he'd be better off without her in his new life. When Lauren sets out to unravel the mystery, she knows only two things: This will be her last chance with Jack and her only chance to save Vicky Stearns.
