A Great Book From A New Author
I met Paula Graves on the Harlequin boards in Sub Care. When Harlequin Intrigue sent me a form rejection, she sent me an email with a lot of helpful info. Since then, I've visited her blog and kept up with her. She's an awesome person. When her book was released, I snagged it, mainly because I knew her.
What a surprise. It's her first published book, but it reads like a pro. I got the book yesterday and finally sat down last night to read it.
I didn't put it down until I was finished.
It was really good. I don't gush unless I've been totally sold on a book. This one has got me hooked on Paula Graves books in the future.
Lily has a gift. It's a power that causes her more pain and fear than anything else. When a little girl goes missing from the school where Lily teaches, it's Lily's gift that is the only lead the police end up having.
McBride is an investigator that relies on facts. In his mind, Lily's gift is just a scam to prey on desperate parents in pain. He ought to know, since his own daughter disappeared six years earlier and a woman claiming to have the same gift kept his hope alive until it eventually killed his wife.
When Lily tries to help, McBride is hostile, but the attraction he feels for her pulls him to her. Lily's visions lead them down a twisted path with a surprise twist and a happy ending.
I LOVED THIS. Normally, people with "gifts" are handled badly by authors. It isn't an easy balance to walk between believability and paranormal. Paula handles this, seemingly, with ease. Her writing is compelling and she nailed the emotional turmoil boiling in McBride and Lily.
Hey Paula!!! 5 Dancing Hobbes for you! You Rock!!!!
