Oblivion
One year ago, authorities found sixteen-year-old Calliope Knowles shivering in an abandoned apartment, the walls covered with her red-inked script. She remembers nothing of that night. Her father, the reverend at the Church of the Holy Promise, has disappeared--along with Hannah Rynes, a young girl from his parish.
Ever since, Callie has been plagued by graphomania--an uncontrollable compulsion to write. The words pound in her head, flow through her red-tipped pen and sprawl onto the pages of her notebooks, onto her jeans, over her flesh. They make no sense, yet they may be the key to her remembering that fated night. Her memories may be the only hope to saving Hannah.
But some secrets are better left buried...

Brandi Reeds has written some amazing stories. Just when I thought I found everything she’s written I came across Oblivion. This isn’t anything like her other books, yet I still found it fascinating in its depth to unlock clues buried in her mind.
…
I appreciate the unique process used to to create this mystery, however I didn’t find it as thrilling as her other books. Unlocking clues to find a missing father and girl by someone who has visions of words was interesting.
