Ratings and reviews

This is a great mystery, based in a psychic phenomena with intrigue and a dab a romance. I say a dab because the relationship is building, between the Detective Abigail and Leon, a professor who used to be a cop. His Aunt is also a professor, and two people die in her "what if" class with no witness and no sign of foul play. There are turns and twists galore. The first meet of the guilty party and I said ah, ha, that's the person. Then Dale led me down the winding road and I began to doubt myself. There were some jaw dropping revelations and Stefan is with us here and there ( our great psychic from previous books) making this read mystery with intrigue. Oh, I was right on who it was :) Thank you for the arc, I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.

A 3.5 stars read. "What if? What if there was a back door to their minds? What if somebody could access your brain and make you do things?" This series is one of my fav series from Dale Mayer, it's a paranormal suspense romance series, so I always excited with supernatural mysteries the book will bring and expected so much when starting it. This one started with unnatural deaths of two students in a class in front of many people, no one see anything, no suspicious person present, it's like their heart suddenly stop. Yes the strange mystery hit hard from the beginning, but then in the middle it's kinda dragging with repititions and the paranormal things kinda dwindling down, but when the mystery start to revealing and the paranormal strike again, I just can't stop. It does have some plot holes that a bit bothering me, but the action from Abby with the help from Stefan and Dr.Maddy (my fav characters in this series) made up for it and the banter between Abby and Leon make everyhting sweeter (Dale Mayer always write loveable characters). So overall, it's not my fav but I enjoyed it nonetheless and still recommend this seriees to anyone who's looking for a fast-paced paranormal suspense romance.

The opening scene of this book has you hooked and needing to know where things will go and how Detective Abigail Cartwright will solve who is behind the murder of the two girls as well as everything that occurs after and what's happening between herself and Professor Leon Wellington the nephew of the missing Professor. There are plenty of twists in this, with some that leave you slacked jawed when revealed as well as a few red herrings, great characters and the simmering feelings going on between Abigail and Leon. You are definitely not going to put this book down until you get to the end and after everything is revealed need a few moments to process it all LOL I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
