review 1: Graduate Student Eve Wilson is doing a study on the effects of the virtual world on people who play computer games. When Eve quickly discovers that a killer has targeted her test subjects, she talks to Detective Noah Webster who is investigating the suicide of one of the computer gamers. Noah believes that Martha Brisbane was murdered. Now he and Eve must work together to uncover the serial killer who has now targeted Eve.I was hooked on this book from the first page. Eve became a computer expert while retreating from the real world after being attacked and left for dead several years ago. She is tough, smart, and ready to put the past behind her and get on with her life. Eve met Noah a year ago in the bar where she works part-time, but he has only said a few words t... moreo her in that time. Noah believes he is damaged goods and Eve deserved better. But as he gets to know her, Noah decides that he and Eve are perfect for each other and begins to pursue her. The action in this book is fast moving. The mystery is riveting with several suspects. I did guess the villain in this one, but it actually could have been one of three different people. I highly recommend this book. My rating: 5 Stars.
review 2: As usual, Karen Rose is becoming a “go to” name, guaranteeing a great intriguing read ahead of you.In “I Can See You”, some of the characters are familiar. This is Rose’s way of quickly acclimating you to the action. If you remember these people as side characters in earlier Rose books, you’re a little bit ahead of the first time readers. However, you do not miss anything besides familiarity, so it is a good book for those who haven’t read any of the books. (It is not a series, just repeated characters.)The book’s primary character is flawed, physically and emotionally. She was a victim years ago of a serial killer who disfigured her but failed to kill her. This led her to a lifetime of feeling less than human, attempting to attain her psychology degree by virtue of an online role playing game instead of interviewing "real" subjects.The hero is a cop at his emotional bottom due to a partner who is not dependable, and a past history of emotional emptiness.The plot is surprisingly twisted, with more than enough suspects thrown in, to ensure you cannot guess whodunit at an early part of the book.I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to more.One more thing – if anyone has a 1969 Dodge Charger they could loan me, I will “put it to good use”. less

This has to be one of Karen's best. You could actually feel what Eve and Noah felt. Very good book.
