BLURB:
When psychic Trudy Tucker
hears this plaintive cry in her mind and then connects psychically with a
little girl’s kidnapper, she is drawn to a small town in Missouri where everyone is suspect –
including herself and her lover, celebrated psychic detective Levi Wolfe. As
she and Levi work together to sort through whom and what to trust, an innocent
life hangs in the balance.

My Review:
This story is truly addictive and complete, it has elements of romance, mystery and paranormal. It's so full of suspense, turns that had me hooked from the first page.
The two protagonists, Trudy Taker and Levi Wolfe, try to solve crimes using their psychic powers. He can talk to the dead so can hear from the victims the story of their last moments of life. She reads the minds of criminals. Besides working together, they are also a couple. Now they have to find a little girl who has been kidnapped. To solve this case Levi must return to his hometown and face his past, especially his father. Trudy will do anything to help him.
The plot is complex, well-developed and compelling, with sexy scenes really hot, great dialogue and well developed characters.
It's the third book in the "Mind's Eye" series and it is best to read the series in order to fully understand the relationships of Levi and Trudy and their powers. You can still try to read it as a stand alone, I only had some initial difficulty. Surely now I want to read the first two.
If you love romantic suspense novels, this book is perfect for you
I received an advanced reading copy for an honest review.

EXCERPTS:
Levi shifted his shoulders as if a weight had settled on
them and his black brows knitted. His thick, sooty lashes tapped his cheeks as
he squirmed a little. After taking a lung-filling breath, he let it escape in a
long hiss. Trudy wondered what he was experiencing, what was going on in that
brilliant mind of his. What did he see? Shadows moving in the distance? Souls
stepping forward? A young girl emerging and answering his call? From the
movement of his eyes behind his closed lids, she knew he was there . . . there
among the spirits.
“Gregory,” he whispered.
His spirit guide! She sat forward, watching, waiting. He
hadn’t connected with Gregory very much during the past few months. He’d told
her that it bothered him, but that Gregory had reminded him that he only
appeared when Levi needed guidance or centering. So, why had he appeared now?
Was Levi having trouble? Had she been wrong to prod him into looking for Rachel
over there?
“What’s going on?” Levi asked, his raspy voice carrying a
sliver of doubt. “Who’s that? Is it . . . that’s not . . . no. No!” His eyes
opened, wide and wild. He gasped for breath and emitted little grunts of panic
with each exhale.
Trudy’s heart and spirits plummeted. “You saw her there?
Rachel’s there?” A sob tore at her throat. How could she tell AmyLynn? Did the
FBI know already?
“No . . . I . . .” Levi shot to his feet and scrubbed his
face with his hands. “Fuck, fuck, fuck!”
“She’s there? Oh, my God, she’s dead. He killed her.” Trudy
wrapped her arms around herself as she began to shake with the horrible
knowledge. She’d failed. She’d been useless. Ineffective. A bad joke. The
little girl . . . gone. Gone!
“I didn’t see Rachel.”
