This is a fast paced story that had me turning the pages, this is the second book I have read from this author and I am loving her work fabulous characters, settings and stories that you can fall into there are a few edge of your seat moments in this one and trying to work out the bad guy, had me guessing till nearly the very end.
Lindsey Cavenaugh is studying at Adelaide University and is a top student doing everything she can to prove to her parents that she has put the past behind her but when some girls go missing from the campus and Lindsey starts having her “spells” again where she has visions of these girls, her life is upended, she has her best friend and flat mate Shawnwyn there for support and with her encouragement she starts work with one of the teachers in the psychology department.
Detective Garren Macklyn is good at his job but is not impressed with Lindsey he has no confidence in anything but facts no supernatural or ESP for him especially seeing as how his mother is very ill in hospital after listening to one of them, so he pushes Lindsey very hard and is convinced that she knows more than she is saying, he is sure she has something to do with the murders even if she isn’t actually doing them.
This story is so good Lindsey cannot help her visions and not only that but she is injured herself the same way as the victims that no one can explain her mental and physical health are suffering and Mac pushes more, he needs to get to the truth, but they cannot control the pull that grows between them and Mac is constantly re-thinking his reasons for Lindsey and her visions.
Fabulous characters, this book is so well written it really is a page turner and one that I would highly recommend, I loved the story line and the connection between Lindsey and Mac to see their connection grow as Mac does all in his power to keep her safe, this is one that I highly recommend.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy to read and review.
