The Sensor

review 1: Susan Illene’s ‘Darkness Haunts’ – 1st in the Sensor series -- takes readers into a brand new interpretation of the paranormal. In this new reality, there are members of the human race who are able to detect supernaturals around them and are immune to magic. In Darkness Haunts, former US Army member Melena struggles to cope with her ability without anyone knowing about it. But when her friend Aniya disappears into a supernatural haven, she knows that she will need to use her skills to bring her home. Thrown headfirst into a world she has tried to avoid, Melena embodies the fighting spirit many of us wish we had. At each fork in the road she chooses the path that takes her further into danger, but closer to answers. Throughout the journey she learns much more a... morebout who she is and what her place is in the world.Illene’s beautiful descriptions of the Alaskan locales give such a depth to the story as the reader is able to feel even more immersed through such vivid imagery. Fighting for her friends and family, Melena must choose between how she has always lived her life and what her life could be. Melena’s struggle is easily relatable and makes her an incredibly easy character to connect with. I wanted to climb into the pages and march beside her on her search.Illene takes her readers on a twisty path geographically from California to Alaska and emotionally with how her characters connect and interconnect. Each turn of the page brought another reason to not stop reading. I couldn’t wait to find out what was around the next corner.Book two can’t get onto my kindle quick enough.
review 2: I loved this book. I love a great female lead and was not disappointed with Melena Sanders as she goes on a journey to save her friend Aniya.Melena is a ‘sensor’ which is the ability to know when supernatural beings are near her. She is immune to magik which makes them particularly unhappy; therefore she has hidden her secret for most of her life.There are many twists in the story and a wonderful mix of characters. Nephelim, vampires, werewolves, witches, pixies, and shamans.I look forward to reading the rest of the series and watching Melena’s relationship with the Nephelim, Vampire and Werewolf unfold.If you have ever read Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson Series then you will love these. less
