review 1: 2.5/5American woman Amber O’Neill is drawn to Ireland when she sees an image in her mind of her twin brother, Parker, nearly dying. They have been telepathically connected since childhood, and in this instance, it just may save his life. When she arrives, she meets with local police officer, Kevin Hennessey, to help her find her brother, and they are immediately drawn to one another with an intense passion. Once they find Parker, the trio embark on a huge, and dangerous, adventure involving smugglers, the myth of a Selkie prince, endangered children, mind-reading (with more than just each other, shockingly), wild chases, gunshots, and romance.I thought the idea of telepathy and mind-reading was really cool, and that it was neat that the author was able to combine many el... moreements into one story: romance, suspense, and folklore. The Irish setting was also rich and vivid. She draws a lot on the character’s emotions and pasts, which was good, but for some reason, I didn’t fully connect with them, or ever feel fully engaged with the story. I love suspense, but the suspense sequence here, mainly the last third of the book or so, didn’t really capture my attention and I’m not entirely sure why. I think some of it may have been a bit confusing or described in such a way that I wasn’t too sure what was going on at all times. Anyways, it had its moments and was a unique read nonetheless. Was it the best book ever? No… but it was fun, and I think romantic suspense readers that are interested in Ireland and myths/folklore would really get a kick out of it.Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
review 2: From My Blog...[return][return]Love, intrigue, and a mystery make The Wild Irish Sea by Loucinda McGary quite an interesting and faced-paced read. Amber and Parker O’Neill are twins with the remarkable gift of telepathy. When Parker disappears in the waters of Donegal coast, Amber immediately knows something is dreadfully wrong and makes her way to Donegal, Ireland and enlists the help of retired inspector Kevin Hennessey, with a few secrets of his own. When they find Parker’s boat washed ashore, Amber feels the bullet hole in the boat and through her telepathic connection with Parker, knows he is in danger, but alive. Now she must discover where he is and who wanted her brother dead as well as what Kevin is hiding from and secrets he is keeping. The Wild Irish Sea is a mixture of suspense, mystery, a touch of paranormal, and a lot of romance. McGary’s characters are descriptive and likeable for their eccentricities. The reader does not need much imagination to picture Donegal as McGary paints a beautiful picture of the various scenes. For readers who enjoy an exceptionally written romance novel with the air of mystery, then The Wild Irish Sea is an excellent choice. less
