It's a mind thing...

In 2096, empath Petra Neiman loves the real thing. Whatever technology has improved, she prefers originals in both her professional and personal life. Or she would if she had a personal life.
Experiencing someone's memories with the briefest touch puts whole new spin on intimacy. Then her world shifts as a serial killer taps into Petra's dreams - without physical contact - revealing a gruesome murder and framing Petra's brother for the crime.

...he couldn't understand.

Dark ops leader Gideon Callahan is as baffled by the concept of an empath as he is by his new assignment to keep the woman under observation. Trained to follow orders, he watches, engages, and reports to his superiors - until he discovers Petra's psychic abilities are all too real and he might just be working for the wrong side.

But, it is the witty banter between her characters, and artful telling of a love story that makes Ms. Black one of my favorite authors." -- Lisa Phillips, author of Obsession Everlasting, Knight Everlasting and Rogue Everlasting on Invasion of Justice

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, Suspenseful and Sexy! June 14, 2011

By Lisa Phillips

Format:Paperback

As a fan of Regan Black's first book in the Shadows of Justice series, Justice Incarnate, I was very much looking forward to Invasion of Justice. Ms. Black has a talent for creating an exciting futuristic setting for her characters, as well as a smart plot and captivating dialogue that drags the reader into the story from the first page.

Petra Neiman is an empath, trying to clear her brother of the gruesome crimes committed by a serial killer, who shares his horrifying deeds with her in her dreams. Gideon Callahan is a dark-ops leader, who is more than a little skeptical of Petra's abilities. Eventually Petra makes Gideon a believer not only in her abilities, but in what he has come to feel for the woman he once doubted.

Invasion of Justice is a wonderful blend of suspense and romance portrayed in Regan Black's smart, articulate style. I enjoy this author's talent for detail in her plots, which adds to her futuristic settings and the depth of a mystery being unraveled. But, it is the witty banter between her characters, and artful telling of a love story that makes Ms. Black one of my favorite authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just keeps getting better February 27, 2011

By lovestodive

Format:Kindle Edition

It's the year 2096, Petra Neiman is woke up from a horrible dream to sound of an old fashioned telephone ringing. She is called to the scene of a murder by Special Agent Kincaid who often uses her empath abilities to help him solve cases. At the scene she meets Gideon Callahan who she assumes works for the police but things are not always as they seem. Gideon is actually undercover watching over Petra.

While at the crime scene Petra touches one of the suspects and sees not only what happened but that her sister, whom she never knew she had, was there. Thus begins a wild ride where Petra and Gideon get entangled in more than just a simple murder. Along the way, we learn Petra has a brother, Nathan, who has been imprisoned for a murder Petra is sure he didn't commit. Characters from the first book in this series, Justice Incarnate, make appearances in this book as well.

This book follows the theme of the first book and takes it and runs. There are twists and turns you won't see coming and the future is portrayed in a very believable manner. The sexual tension between Petra and Gideon is palpable and their interactions with each other are filled with unease and a sense of rightness. This book is listed as paranormal romance but I would place it more in the Urban Fantasy genre. There is romance involved but the mystery and suspense are the meat of this book. If you enjoyed Justice Incarnate, you won't be disappointed in Invasion of Justice, I read it in one sitting. Can't wait to see what else Ms. Black has in store for us.
