Editorial Reviews

Review

5 Kisses: "Gracie C. McKeever possesses an incredible imaginative ability and the gift to make any type of paranormal element, no matter how unusual, appear perfectly realistic and [acceptable]. With any of her stories, there is never a question of the reader's suspension of disbelief, it occurs immediately, naturally, and very smoothly. Her action is fast-paced, and her characters are well-delineated. We come to know them as well as we understand our own friends and family, if not better. Any book by Ms. McKeever is well worth a first read and subsequent rereads, but in the opinion of this reviewer In Plain Sight is one of her best!" —Frost, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Blue Ribbons: "I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down until the last page was done. The triangle between Samantha, Dara and Caution is engrossing. You find yourself pulled into the story and go through the emotional roller coaster with Dara and Samantha. Through it all there is still the fact that Samantha's killer is still on the loose which opens up a whole new aspect because it is all connected. To tell anymore would ruin the story. The love scenes are magnificent and full of erotic pleasure that never ends. Gracie McKeever is an author who has gone to the top of my auto buy list and after reading this tale readers will understand why." —Angel, Romance Junkies

More About the Author

Gracie C. McKeever is an author from the Bronx. Aside from several side trips along the way she's lived and worked her entire life in the Big Apple (most of it two train stops away from the House that Ruth built...Go Yanks!)

She has been writing since the ripe old age of seven when two younger brothers were among her earliest, captive audience for various short story readings and performances.

An eclectic and voracious reader whose audience has grown outside of the supportive family members, she's had the great fortune of being able to incorporate two of her favorite passions and talents - reading and writing - as a book reviewer for several online e-zines both as a regular staff member and freelancer.

Her short stories, novellas and poetry have seen exposure in various lit and art magazines and other venues - online and in print. Of particular note, her short story LEAP OF FAITH can be found in Zane's anthology, Caramel Flava 2: Sensuality. Also, heard over the airwaves on KFJC's morning show, Dancing In The Fast Lane With Ann Arbor (Unbedtime Stories) out of Los Altos Hills, CA (NEW LIFE INCOGNITA was the story of the month for March 2000.). She's also proud to be a member of the ("Worlds' Oldest Active Homeless Paper") Street News family and has seen numerous articles, poems and novel excerpts published within its pages as well as having had a poetry reading on Pseudo On-line Network (Street News Review).

In 2001 Gracie caught the erotica bug, sinking her teeth into her first erotica e-book for a review, and hasn't looked back since, an instant affinity for the genre spawning her first erotica title, BENEATH THE SURFACE, published in 2006 by Siren Publishing, Inc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Living In Someone Else's Shoes, May 21, 2007
This review is from: In Plain Sight (Paperback)
In Plain Sight by Gracie McKeever is one of several paranormal novels written by this amazing author. In Plain Sight is a story about Samantha Taylor and Dara Kelly and how their beings become entangled in a very bizarre way. Samantha was killed during an argument with her abusive husband, Dawson; was it an accident or intentionally? Dara is a bounty hunter and while out on a job, staking out the location of a "Skip" (person who skips bail), Dara is waiting for her partner, Diego, to come as back-up but he does not show. Instead, one of Dara's rivals shows up and takes her out, preventing her from claiming the Skip as her own. This is where Sam and Dara meet in their death.

God, with his Angel helpers, Michael and Gabriel decide that there are some lessons that need to be learned and choose for Sam's spirit to enter the body of Dara while Dara's spirit is still present. What an interesting concept to think about. The reader has the opportunity to explore with the characters, how they will play their new roles in the land of the living. Sam maneuvers through Dara's world, quickly accessing her new found role as a bounty hunter and a woman that has a love interest. Sam's abusive husband, Dawson, is on the run for her murder and Dara is the bounty hunter looking to take him down. So many twists and turns with a variety of characters come into play, helping to create an amazing bond that grows between Sam and Dara; a true connection of spirits. Dara has a love for a man by the name of Caution. The question is what role will Sam in Dara's body play with this man, while realizing that they have a connection in her former life?

Gracie McKeever created a book that drew me in from the first chapter, with me knowing I would love the storyline right off. I felt the emotions and connections of all the characters as if I was apart of their world. Feelings of fear, mistrust, racism, jealously and love are all felt throughout the book. I would highly recommend this book to those that love a paranormal mystery with a wonderful ending, which will bring a smile to your face. Be prepared to possibly pull your dictionary out due to the extensive vocabulary that is used, but this is a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another chance at love . . ., May 6, 2007
By 
This review is from: In Plain Sight (Paperback)
In a normal world, Dara Kelly and Samantha Taylor may have never met. Dara, affectinately called Dare, is a bold, brassy, yet beautiful bounty hunter who fights for respect in her career 'til death, literally. Samantha, or Sam, is an insecure young woman who has made too many wrong decisions in her life, one that ultimately leads to her death at the hands of a man she barely knew, a husband ten years her senior.

When deities above decide to show both woman what their lives could have been, Dare, marred by her past two failed marriages, is mortified when Samantha is destined to walk in her shoes--eating, tasting, and touching all that was hers, even loving the one man she regretfully refused to marry. Sam is even more stunned when she discovers her new dangerous profession, but later embraces it when she discovers this saucy edge is part of the reason the sexy Caution Foster fell in love with her--or the woman formally known as Dare.

Barely acclimated into their new roles, both lead women are faced with two questions: what happens when two both love the same man?, and can they work together to find out who really wants to permanently eliminate Dara?

In Plain Sight is a gripping, sexually steamy, edge-of-your-seat, cut-throat suspense that tackles emotionally charged issues such as interracial dating, racism, domestic abuse, single parenthood, heartbreak, and letting go of the past to truly love yourself in the now. McKeever delivers a story woven with such intricate scenes soaked with adventure and suspense that a reader will find it difficult to close this book until the end. Characters are so vivid, so realistic that I found my heart skipping a beat as if I were racing through Dara's dangerous escapades and loving Caution Foster as if he were my man. From brutal murder to sizzling erotic scenes that simply melt your most sensual parts, In Plain Sight is definitely an erotic paranormal suspense you can not afford to miss.

4.0 out of 5 stars Talk about an out of body experience!, December 31, 2008
Samantha Taylor is murdered by her husband, Dawson Foster, after he pushes her down the stairs. Fate conspires to use Sam to help out in others' lives. Dara Kelly is a bounty hunter. When a job goes south, she finds herself hanging outside her body and trying to help the intruder who moved in and took over her life. She has problems with commitment and wants to be independent, much to her boyfriend's, Caution Foster's, dismay. When he tries to get her to settle down, she disappears from his life for weeks. Little does he know that the woman who comes back to him is not the same woman. In the meantime, Dara and Sam are working to find out who is behind the attacks on Dara since she has issues with a fellow bounty hunter. When the attacks hit close to home, they will do anything to keep Caution and his family safe. Will they be able to stop the attacker in time?

I really enjoyed the twist on the switching bodies - only this time, two people are pretty much trying to share the same body. Talk about an out of body experience! I have to admit, the ending was not quite what I expected, but I really did enjoy Sam and Dara's story. It was an interesting tale. The book does take a few twists and turns as they work to find out who is out to get Dara. The romance is steamy and the plot thickens with each page, and in my mind, it is an unexpected ending. Gracie C. McKeever writes an exciting and compelling story in her book In Plain Sight. I would recommend that if you enjoy books about fate and ghosts, that you pick this up today.
