Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
In this romantic spine tingler from Walker (Through the Veil), psychic teen Taige Branch of Gulf Shores, Ala., falls in love one summer with Cullen Morgan, a boy on vacation from Georgia, after he rescues her from being raped by a couple of drunken louts at a beach resort. Four years later, after a psycho murders Cullen's mother in Atlanta, Cullen breaks up with Taige, outraged that his psychic girlfriend, who had saved little kids' lives in front of his eyes, couldn't foresee and stop the tragedy. Eight years after that trauma, Cullen asks Taige, now a member of an FBI special task force, for help in finding his motherless daughter, Jilly, a talented artist with psychic abilities who's been abducted by a child predator. A sweet love story alternates with an exciting manhunt. Romantic suspense fans will find much to like in Taige, a fearless beauty, half-white, half-black, who's not just another medium clone. (Nov.)

Product Description
From the national bestselling author whose sexy stories “you will not soon forget”(Romance Review) comes a brand-new, sinfully sexy romantic suspense novel.

Her psychic gift drove away the man she loved— and years later has drawn him back to her…

As a teenager, Taige Branch hated her psychic gift. No one could understand—except for Cullen Morgan, the boy who stole her heart. He did his best to accept her, until his mother was brutally murdered—and he couldn’t forgive Taige for not preventing it.

Now a widowed father, Cullen Morgan has never forgotten Taige. But what brings her back into his life is another tragedy. His beloved little girl has been kidnapped, and Taige is his only hope of finding her. Working together against the clock, Cullen and Taige can’t help but wonder whether—if they find his daughter in time—it isn’t too late for the overpowering love that still burns between them…

4.0 out of 5 stars Well done romantic suspense. Heroine uses psychic abilities to save lives and catch bad guys., November 12, 2008
By Jane Stewart (Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
REVIEWER'S OPINION:
Per Publishers Weekly "A sweet love story alternates with an exciting manhunt. Romantic suspense fans will find much to like in Taige, a fearless beauty, half-white, half-black, who's not just another medium clone." I agree. There are other characters with psychic abilities as well. This was a nicely done story with some interesting plot twists and events.

I noticed one reviewer found fault with the story as not being realistic regarding police procedures. That didn't bother me. It's probable that the psychic parts are also not that realistic. As far as I'm concerned, suspending belief is ok. I'm in this for the entertainment and for a fun escape, which it provided.

STORY BRIEF WITH SOME SPOILERS:
Cullen is a rich kid whose family spends summers at their vacation home, located in a gulf coast Alabama tourist town. Taige's parents died when she was young. She lives with an abusive uncle. When Taige is 15, Cullen saves her from an attempted rape. They develop a relationship over the next few summers. Cullen knows Taige has psychic abilities. When Taige is 19, Cullen's mother is violently murdered. Cullen is angry and breaks up with Taige. He felt Taige should have known about the murder in advance to help prevent it. He was mad that she never tried to control or develop her abilities. He claimed she passively reacted to them instead of actively used them. Because of Cullen's accusation, Taige then begins to actively use her abilities, develop greater control over them and works with the FBI. Cullen marries Kim who dies giving birth to their daughter Jilly. Several years later Jilly is kidnapped. Cullen hasn't seen Taige for 12 years, but goes to her asking for her help to find Jilly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and dangerous, November 12, 2008
By Laurie (OH - USA) - See all my reviews
  
Taige Branch was blessed, or maybe cursed, with the special gift of vision. She certainly doesn't feel special though and has had more than her fair share of pain - emotional and physical. Losing both parents and being sent to live with her fire and brimstone preacher of an uncle, she was constantly berated and regularly beaten because of the "evil" that supposedly had taken residence in her young body. Despite all of this, Taige uses her gift to the best of her ability, saving more than one person from certain death and then suffering the physically ravaging consequences in private after. When a wealthy boy's family buys a vacation home in the Alabama gulf where Taige lives, the teens are instantly attracted and it isn't long before he witnesses her gift first-hand. Unfortunately, she is unable to predict Cullen's mother's violent death, only to be blamed by him and cast aside.

Taige and Cullen may have been separated for several years but they never forgot each other. When Cullen's young daughter is kidnapped, Taige is the first person the single father turns to for help. Now officially working with the FBI to find missing children, Taige's abilities are maximized to the fullest. Cullen's daughter is found, but in doing so, Taige discovers and connects with a multitude of other murdered children who have been missing for decades. Cullen soon realizes that his daughter has the same gift as Taige, as did the children whose remains were recently discovered. He knows that in order for his daughter to ever have true peace in her life he will have to work with Taige in finding the man whose evil is responsible for the sheer hell these children endured. They won't have to look far though because he has Taige in his sights and he's bent on total destruction.

Shiloh Walker has outdone herself with this book. It's dark, sensual and suspenseful, but most of all it's chock full of excellently written emotion and turmoil. Taige and Cullen are damaged souls, and while their backgrounds couldn't have been more different, their hearts and their love for each other are very much the same. They both regret what could have been for their relationship all those years ago, but celebrate what the future may hold for them. I personally feel that this just might be Shiloh Walker's best work to date and I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars More like 4 1/2 stars..., November 24, 2008
By Deborah Wiley (Winter Haven, FL) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
What if you had a power to sense when someone was dying or in jeopardy of dying?

Taige Branch has such a gift and it has cost her everything. As a teenager, she falls deeply in love with Cullen Morgan... only to see the capriciousness of her gift end things. Now, Taige works as a consultant for the FBI, using her psychic gifts to try to save others. Cullen has never forgotten Taige as his dreams are still haunted by her. Will Taige be able to save Cullen's daughter, Jillian? And will the past memories overshadow any chance at happiness for Cullen and Taige?

Shiloh Walker never hesitates to cross boundaries and create romances that are atypical. Once again, she has crafted a phenomenal and oh so thrilling tale that breaks all the rules! From the time span involved in the story to the very brutality and nature of the crimes, THE MISSING isn't your stereotypical romance as it takes readers through a gamut of very deep, heartwrenching moments. Even small pieces of the plot, like Kendrick's story, will haunt me for quite some time.

The emotional impact of THE MISSING is perhaps the key component to the story's success. The reader is drawn into Taige's young life and the hardships she faces. Cullen's entry into her life is like a ray of hope... and then we see that joy shattered in one horrible and yet understandable moment of grief. It's hard not to empathize with both Cullen and Taige, both so young and yet so hurt. THE MISSING then skips forward to the current day and the anguish that afflicted their young lives is still ever-present. Can time truly heal all wounds? Only in the hands of a writer as talented as Shiloh Walker could this scenario work, and boy does she ever make it work! I cried right along with the characters as they fought for their happily-ever-after.

THE MISSING is yet another stellar example of why Shiloh Walker's books are an automatic purchase for me. Don't look for a cookie cutter mold to fit any of Ms. Walker's books but rather expect the unexpected. Bravo!
