Two years ago, 21-year-old Kate Edwards became deathly ill and slipped into a coma. While unconscious, she crept into the mind of a missing boy and awoke with the knowledge of his location. Friends and family were skeptical and wary of her new ability to see into the minds of others. Their fears prompted Kate to keep her psychic powers a secret. Feeling alienated, she dropped out of college and spent most of her days holed up at her mother’s home.
Now another child has been abducted. Police detective Jared Corbett seeks out Kate for her help in solving the case. Reluctantly, Kate agrees and they must work together to bring 8-year-old Cori Preston home to her family. Although attracted to one another, Jared has a girlfriend with ties to the abduction case and Kate is sarcastic and guarded since her coma. With visions she can’t control and an uncontrollable attraction to the detective, she wonders if she can leave the past behind and finally stop hiding from the world. Otherwise, Cori may be lost forever.
My Review:
This was a highly enjoyable book! After all, it is quite a unique way to develop psychic abilities, by becoming sick and surviving a potential fatal thing, well, it's quite interesting, and compounded on that was the excellent characters, romance, and mystery in the plot! And such wonderfulness was inside this book! I can't wait to read book 2!
I really connected to Kate, seeing as I'm just starting off post secondary school right now, and I'm very much a loner, and I've never been to a party, and I know that if I did, I wouldn't really enjoy it, so yeah, that was very nice thing for me, to really identify with Kate, besides her being such a strong character! Really enjoyed her!
The romance and mystery, they worked together to bring together a really wonderful book, because Jared is both romantically interesting, and connected to the mystery being a cop and all. So such wonderful tensions Really enjoyed that!
All in all, this was a really wonderful book, highly enjoyed it, and it was just really good, so I hope you guys check out the rest of the tour, and look out for my review next week of book 2, New Revelations!
