Mayhem by Estelle Laure

3.0

Based on the description, I thought I would like this book more. But it kind of felt that something was missing. Yes, there's some magical element to it, but it doesn't seem to be used in a good way. And while I wanted to know all the mysteries surrounding the family, at some points it felt a little bit too forced. But basically Mayhem and her mother move to her mother's hometown to escape her mother's abusive father / Mayhem's stepdad. When she is back she learns her family has a long history of superpowers, and she needs to drink some type of water to get to feel other people's thoughts. And then she tries to use her new powers to try to find a serial killer that is attacking in the city she just moved to. Nice premise, but kind of just okay execution.
