Within the FBI, there exists a team of psychics whose
powers cannot be denied. But these
agents are feared-by a cabal of conspirators with only one weapon: to blind the
psychics to the evils all around them.
Months ago,
Sarah Gallagher woke from a coma with psychic abilities she couldn’t
control. They changed her life and cost
her the man she loved. And now, someone
is playing games with Sarah’s mind.
It begins with Sarah’s home being destroyed by fire –
an act of arson that draws novelist Tucker Mackenzie into Sarah’s
confidence. But he has other reasons for
pursuing the woman who can see what others can’t. So does a mysterious enemy intent on
eliminating Sarah, and everyone she cares about. Because it’s only a matter of time before her
visions lead her and Tucker to a secret many will kill to hide. Only then will they begin to discover the
scope of a terrifying conspiracy so deep and complex they can trust almost no
one.
MY REVIEW:
I must begin by saying that I was a tad confused and a
tad miffed at the way in which Ms. Hooper chose to approach this novel. There appeared to be ‘endless set-up’ for the
story but very little of the story itself.
It didn’t really have the “feel” of a true Bishop novel. I also didn’t like the way in which the book
began - the Prologue. I personally believe that a first time reader
of this particular Bishop novel may find themselves not wanting to continue on
with the upcoming second novel in this “new” Bishop series. I was just taken aback and it just didn’t
seem like the good ol’ Kay we’ve all come to know and love. I’ve been a huge, huge fan of the Bishop SCU
series forever but this newest series just didn’t cut it for me.
However, once passed all the set-up and getting more
into the substance of the actual story, I finally began to settle down and was
able to complete the book. A bit
disappointing to say the least.
