Synopsis:
Tagline:
Does she risk everything again?
Jacinda
Brown keeps to her safe existence doing investigative research, avoiding people
and places with people. To most, it appears she has a normal life; blending
completely undetected in her lonely continuation.
She
doesn’t investigate people; she can’t get that close. Through her hand she can
feel emotions, thoughts. With a touch she can see what has been.
Unfortunately
fate tosses her into a situation where her carefully guarded secret and her own
conscience are at war when she finds herself working with detectives to find a
killer. Jacinda clashes with the very strongly grounded detective, Reid
Merritt, destiny has forced her to work with.
At some
point he begins to matter, making her decision harder. Will he look at her with
abhorrence, like she’s some sort of freak when she’s through?
What
will be the price, this time, for the ability she doesn’t want?

Book Review:
So if
you follow my blog, you know I love Jacqueline Paige as an author. This was a fabulous book and I loved it, but
it was totally different than the Magic Seasons Series. This book was more grown up… and that’s not
exactly the word I want to use. It was a
murder mystery with the detectives being assisted by a woman who could read
emotion by touching someone or something they had touched while emotional. The part I think I love best was that she
didn’t want this “gift”.
Growing
up I was a shy child and often felt that others were speaking badly of me. Now that I’m older and have had time to
process it most of them probably weren’t and the ones that were weren’t worth
my time. However, I didn’t feel that way
when I was younger. In fact, I often
wished that I could see what people were really thinking about me. Now, of course, I know that they were
probably not thinking about me at all but rather about what people thought of
them. I would hate that power now.
Jac,
our main female protagonist, is sort of like “Rogue” from marvel comics. She can’t touch anyone without seeing all
their emotional thoughts. That would be
so hard. I can’t imagine not being able
to touch people, but then I’m a touchy-feely sort of person. But imagine being alone and not able to tell
anyone about yourself. Now you’re
getting the picture.
And the
men, well let’s just say Ooo-la-la. Well
before I give away anything too pertinent I’m going to stop and say, Read this
book for yourself.
I give
this book 5 out of 5 clouds.
