PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Orphaned at 15 and raised by her Uncle Phillip, the adult Megan Blair is an Atlanta pediatrician who hears terrified voices. Revelation comes when childhood friend Neal Grady, who is now a shadowy government agent, arrives to apprise Megan of her psychic powers. And to warn her: Molino the relentless villain who killed Megan's mother, believing her touch killed his son is targeting Megan next. Molino thinks Megan was born to an ancient Sephardic family of psychics, and plans to force her to reveal the location of the Ledger, a book that contains the family's secrets and finances. He then plans to kill her, if Megan, Neal and Neal's sidekick, Jed Hartley, don't find him first. Johansen increases the tension by alternating point of view, but two-dimensional characters, repetitious explanations and stilted dialogue make staying tuned difficult.
Customer Reviews
Typos
This was my first ever book download. The book was wonderful, but there were SO many typos. I do not own this in the paper version so I do not know if this only holds true for the digital version or not. I was not impressed to pay for a book that seemed to not have been edited properly at all. Disappointing in that regard, but the content was wonderful.
LOVED THIS BOOK
I am a die-hard Johansen fan and this is definitely in my top-3 favorite books by her. An awesome read!
Pandora's Daughter
Suspense, love, death, and a little sic-fi thrown together. I would recommend this book to a friend, in a heartbeat.
