After years of hiding in the shadows due to sensory overload emitted inadvertently to her from other people, Faith Corbett decided it was time to live although she knows she will struggle with smelling emotions and hearing heartbeats. In New Orleans, Faith lives with four other females with varying paranormal skills and works as an assistant evidence technician.

Faith and her roommate Krystal Turner are in DeLoup when the former feels something is wrong with the latter who has not returned from the bathroom. Faith goes to check up on her friend only to find her dead. She senses the culprit and follows him through a crawlspace, but he escapes. Detective Roy Chapin and his partner Detective Sergeant Butch Jefferson head the investigation. As Roy questions Faith, he addresses her as Bernie, but quickly realizes she is not your ordinary run of the mill witness. Soon he finds he wants to protect her because his attraction for Faith is monumental and growing, but a killer believes that Faith may have marked him so he plans to do away with Bernie.

This paranormal police procedural thriller is an exciting tale that starts at hyperspeed and never slows down until the final altercation between the good guys and the killer. The beginnings of a romance between the cop and the psychic is handled with deft and just the right touch as Faith has to adjust to someone else's aura. CONTACT is a fantastic action-packed tale that uses New Orleans (past and present) as a breathtaking backdrop for two wonderful protagonists battling an evil killer.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I bought this book. The premise sounded a little hokey and I thought that the psychic angle had been done to death, but I was really wrong. Contact is well written, well plotted with incredible description and great characters. You can't ask for more in a book. I'd highly recommend it to anyone to read and if I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Read it, you won't be disappointed.
