Jayne Fordham (Author)

Book Description

Olive Morgan is not your typical psychologist. She can also access the memories of anyone she comes into contact with.

After an explosion in a Sydney shopping mall, Olive is enlisted alongside a team of 'Elite' consultants. She joins Canan Jones who can attune to the emotions of other people, including Olive. Initially, she distrusts the agency, but when another explosion threatens more lives Olive has no choice but to use her skill to prevent another disaster.

Is terrorism really at play or is the agency hiding the real reason behind these attacks?

Olive wants to solve the case, but her personal life is suffering. Despite having a boyfriend, she feels a connection brewing with Canan, who has an uncanny way of making her feel calm when life becomes overwhelming...

Intuition is a tale of supernatural suspense and the first book in the Elite Series. Jayne Fordham resides in Sydney where she works as a psychologist and freelance writer while working on another novel.

Intuition (The Elite Series)

Twenty-five year old Psychologist, Olive Morgan Worked for A Sydney mental health team and used everything she trained for to help others in need. Since she'd turned twenty-one she'd developed a special power where she read other's memories just by a touch, then she got a call from regent who offered her a change of pace in her work and she couldn't refuse............

Canan spent most of his life placing everyone's needs before his own and when The Agency recruited him to help track a bomber that was killing people he agreed to work for them and use his special skill for the good of all with a slight request for them to help him in return...............

Wow does Jayne Fordham spin a riveting story that hooked me from the first chapter!! Olive is attracted to Canan but has a boyfriend that never makes time for her and she tries hard to push Canan away. As the team got leads on who the bomber is, it seems like he always was one step a head of them, then suspicions of a mole on their team has everyone distrusting each other!

I loved the premise of this story: Interesting characters with new-found psychic abilities are recruited by a mysterious covert agency. Their mission: To stop a terrorist. Or so they believe. I'll leave it at that, in the interest of not revealing spoilers.

Fordham's main challenge in this book is building the credibility of her characters. The team is headed by two mature men, but the new recruits are barely old enough to drink. They certainly live the lifestyle people of this age often enjoy, complete with hangovers the next day. Now, probably for the first time in their lives, these characters are faced with harsh reality and life and death situations. Fordham is tasked with convincing readers a government counter-terrorist unit would need this group of misfits to handle an issue of national security.

As a psychologist just starting out, Olive is confused about why they'd choose her, until she learns it's the entire team's special abilities the organization is really after. Relieved to know she's not the only one with a strange gift, and eager to get to know others similar, she agrees to help.

Due to a plot twist the new recruits are all the same age. They're immature and often unprofessional. Differing life experiences gave each unique outlooks, but not enough for them to approach their mission with the seriousness it requires. Needless to say, this gets them into hot water more than once. As a reader, this immaturity frustrated me at times, but I believe this may just be a plot device used by the author.

Fordham wove twist after twist through plenty of action. She spent a lot of time telling me how the characters reacted instead of showing me, and I felt the momentum suffered because it. Without the opportunity to get inside their heads and figure these kids out for myself, I had some difficulty making an emotional connection to the characters.
