I wasn't sure about this book when I bought it. But now I am glad I did. I read it in one sitting, that tells you I enjoyed it. It is not a spine tingling adventure, however it was entertaining.

Kelly Santos is an orphan, she returns to New Orleans when her mentor, Sister Grace dies. She also has the SIGHT, and it is very strong in her. It has kept her separated from most other people. She is a photographer. Always keeping the lens between her and the world.

She sits in a restaurant and when she picks up a paper, she sees a murder, not knowing if it has already taken place, or if it is in the future, she contacts the police.

This brings her into contact with Jack Callaghan, a detective, in the NOPD. Jack remembers her from school, he also remembers that she is the one who told him to follow his heart into law enforcement. When the body is found he is assigned to the case.

From here on it is a fast-paced adventure, romance, with a little paranormal activity thrown in.

I liked it. It was fun to read. The story flowed easily and didn't get bogged down. It is not a 5 star read, but easily a 4 star read. A wonderful way to pass a rainy afternoon.

I hardily recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Page-Turner, January 3, 2004

This review is from: Flash Point (MIRA) (Mass Market Paperback)

The only weakness I found in this story was a small section about halfway through the book where the killer's identity became obvious. Had that paragraph been written a bit more subtly, and a few more red herrings thrown in, I would've been completely surprised and given the book 5 stars.

This was my first book by this author, and I've already ordered the rest of her stuff. I hope it's as good as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Modern Romance/Mystery, January 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Flash Point (MIRA) (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked this book very much. The main characters were interesting and so was the plot. The whodunnit was not incredibly difficult to figure out but it was a fun ride. Included were 2 romances that the author introduced and developed fantastically. I truly enjoyed the subplots and feelings the characters expressed, and I highly recommend this book!
