ineffable, (a.) too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words. IN WHICH vada hartley doesn't just remember-she feels. every wound, every whisper, every trace of the past buried in the things people leave behind. it's a gift. or a curse. depending on the day. sent to join the FBI's off-the-books naturals program, vada finds herself surrounded by other teens trained to see what others can't. but while the others analyze from a distance, vada sinks into the emotional weight of every case. and it's getting harder to come back up. michael townsend understands that kind of heaviness-the need to take on hurt before it has the chance to break anyone else. he recognizes something in vada that he doesn't have words for. he's not sure he wants to. dean redding sees it too. her softness. her strength. the way her pain mirrors his own in all the worst ways. the three of them are caught in something raw and unspoken, but there's no time to untangle it-not when the past is clawing its way back into the present. and vada can feel it coming. vada has an emotive memory: the instinctive ability to absorb, retain, and relive the emotional states of others tied to specific memories or environments. im simpler terms: vada doesn't just remember events-she remembers how it felt for everyone involved. she experiences emotional energy attached to people, places, and moments. sometimes it's a gift. sometimes it's too much. *lowercase intended* *BOOK 1*
