review 1: After reading "All Due Respect", I downloaded this one, which is one of her earlier works. It's not as exciting, but still a great read. Caron Chalmers is an empath. A mind reader cursed with imaging only victims. She sees what they see, feels what they feel, endures what they endure and has since she was seven. But even with all the sensory perception and insights, sometimes she fails to save victims in time. Sometimes she interprets the signs wrong--and a year ago, she did exactly that. She messed up and a victim died. Caron nearly died with her. Her "gift" shut down.Now it's back. There's another victim--this time a child--and because of the mistake made last year and the shut-down, her police contact, though aware of her many successes, isn't willing to stake his car... moreeer on her. Yet he can't dismiss her and calls in help from a private investigator, Parker Simms: a man with a past as bleak as Caron's and a specific agenda of his own: proving Caron Chalmers is the fraud he believes her to be.In a hostile alliance, Caron and Parker seek the truth . . . and discover a labrynth of lies and deceptions that require skills and experience they have and trust they don't but must somehow find before the child becomes another victim lost. Yet trust never comes without costs, and some are too steep to pay. The situation grows desperate. Time for the child's survival grows short . . . and for Caron and Parker, who must live with the consequences of missteps and wrong moves, the unthinkable happens: Stakes that couldn't get any higher soar.
review 2: This book was not what I thought it was going to be. It was about a woman who supposedly "read & saw" other people's thoughts and feelings. Like a phycic. On top of which there was a lot of sexual type writing. Not sex scenes to the part I read but very expicit descriptions of how the other person looked and made them feel and what they thought. And that was more than enough description! TOO much. Then there was the problem with the language. I just can't (won't) sit and fill my mind with cursing and filth when there are far better things to read. I know from experience, because I have read them, that an author can write an incredible, intense, even frightening story, about the horrible things that happen in this world without having to sink to the worlds level to tell it. I just couldn't finish reading a book like this. No...I WOULDN'T. less
