Rating: 3 stars I received an e-copy on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. (Thanks!) I've heard of this author before; she wrote With Malice . When I read the synopsis for this book and found out that the author is Canadian, I knew I had to request it on NetGalley. All in all, I did like what the author was trying to accomplish with this book but I found the end product to have fallen a bit flat. The Hanging Girl is about Skye Thorn, a girl who needs money to move into an apartment with her high school friend in New York. Skye pretends to be a psychic to make her way through high-school. She agrees to help someone in school fake a kidnapping and keep the police investigation going with her psychic skills so that they can get the ransom money and do what they want. But it all goes wrong and Skye is stuck with the aftermath.
