Character wise I really liked the story. The who and why of the kidnapping was weak and to easy to figure out though. This is not to say it wasn’t a good story because the descriptions of the psychic episodes Juliana Westwood would have when she connected with the kidnapper were very well written. I also liked the love story between her and Alex MacKenzie who is both the uncle of the kidnapped little girl along with being a detective and who also happens to be the man that Juliana ran out on 12 years before with no explanation breaking his heart.
Alex never had any problems with Juliana’s gift but to protect himself from heartache again he never put himself out there with another woman after words. So when she suddenly shows up at the police station claiming that a kidnapping of a small child is soon going to occur his biggest issue is his unresolved anger and underlying feelings for Juliana still. When it turns out the little girl that’s kidnapped is his niece he has no problem working with Juliana to try and find her.
Juliana comes from a family of psychics. Her gift didn’t activate (for a better word) until a tragic accident in her youth. She had a premonition about it but got it wrong and her best friend’s boyfriend died. We don’t find out the real reason that Juliana left after the tragic accident until she finally discloses it to Alex and its heartbreaking enough that Alex can no longer harbor any ill feelings about how she left with no word. Due to her family’s history of going insane with this gift Juliana doesn’t think a relationship would ever work.
The author tries to throw some red herrings in to throw us off on the identity of the kidnapper but about 50 percent in she gives what I would call a blatant clue that gives it away too easily. This kind of turned me off of that part of the story at that point but I did enjoy psychic aspects and Alex and Juliana rekindling their romance.
