Product Description
Larsen Vale has a secret: she sees things. Terrible things. Deadly things. And her latest vision features a strange albino man-and her own death. Haunted and afraid, she trusts no one, not even the handsome cop who seems fascinated with her. Washington, D.C., detective Jack Hallihan has one mission: find the man who is assaulting young women. But the police have no clues, no leads and no witnesses. And Jack has a deadly secret of his own-a secret Larsen holds the key to. Time is running out. If Larsen and Jack can't learn to trust their attraction to each other, the Gate will be opened-and the world will be forever changed-. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful new paranormal!, April 25, 2007

By	Deborah Wiley (Winter Haven, FL) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Metropolitan Police Detective Jack Hallihan is trying to stop a serial rapist. In each case, multiple witnesses are present but no one can remember a thing about the attacks. Attorney Larsen Vale narrowly escapes death at the hands of the rapist when her visions of death return after being dormant since her childhood. She is terrified to tell Jack about her vision of the albino rapist, but Jack has his own secret as he fears he is succumbing to madness from the unintelligible voices in his head. Will Jack and Lauren learn to trust one another in time to stop evil from overtaking the world?

Do not start this book just before bedtime or you are guaranteed to miss out on sleep! I made this "mistake" and could not put THE DARK GATE down. I kept telling myself, "just one more chapter", as I turned page after page. Pamela Palmer's suspenseful paranormal tale is phenomenal!

THE DARK GATE truly epitomizes what the Silhouette Nocturne line is all about. The romance aspect is strong but the darker elements of this paranormal tale are where the writing talent of Pamela Palmer really shines! Her unusual twist to the story makes this a superb addition to any paranormal lover's keeper shelf. The story behind the albino man is quite fascinating, and the reactions of Larsen and Jack are very believable as they cope with each new revelation in this enthralling tale.

THE DARK GATE provides readers with a refreshingly unique paranormal tale chock full of suspense. Pamela Palmer is a new author to me but I can guarantee I will pick up her next book after reading this one! Easily recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, May 14, 2007

By	Jane Myers Perrine (TX United States) - See all my reviews

I have read very few books that I could not put down--THE DARK GATE was one of them. I had to force myself to close the book at midnight and hated to. This is an exciting book with non-stop action and suspense that doesn't end.

The characters are amazing, complex with many levels and dimensions.

It's impossible to believe this is a debut novel. I don't usually read paranormals but look forward to many more by Ms. Palmer. The paranormal elements are seamlessly woven into the real world and completely believable. Considering how creative the elements are, this is a testimonial to the depth of talent possessed by this writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Urban Fantasy Romance!, April 1, 2007

By	Cheroo (Williamsburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews

In The Dark Gate, Pamela Palmer weaves together heart pounding plot with heart warming romance and enough magic to keep even hard core fantasy readers very, very happy. Larsen and Jack manage to fend off magical fiends, fall in love and save the world in a page turning read. This is a wonderfully romantic urban fantasy and I'm looking forward to the next installment of the Esri series!
