This is much more Mystery/Thriller then it is Paranormal Romance, and it is guaranteed to make you scared about what could happen to your daughter (or sister). The romance between Aiden and Lexie happened quickly--they were both damaged by the people they were trying so hard to help and wary of trusting someone.
The pace of the book is fast and wracked with tension. At regular intervals Parrish slips between Aiden, Lexie, Vonnie, the killer and later the twins. The scenes when either Vonnie or the killer are the focus are chilling. Vonnie's desperate attempts to stay sane through the killer's torture (heavy on the mental and psychological abuse, though he does physically abuse her) she doesn't cling to hope so much as refuses to let the killer destroy her spirit.
I honestly didn't guess who the killer was. Parrish drops clues throughout, buts its very hard to piece them together as things escalate. The entire book takes place over only about a week, though it feels much longer as there's no sense of time in Vonnie's narratives and the killer often will fall into memories (horrifying accountings of abuse as a child).
Lexie and Aiden's relationship built fast and burned. Attraction was immediate (isn't it always?), but between Aiden complete distrust and hatred of Lexie's profession (journalist) and Lexie's wariness about pursuing a topic (the Ghoul Killer) that's already landed her in hot water in her small town, they take trust slow.
I liked the Lexie didn't just take him on his word--even though her boss was willing to take a chance on the 'psychic', Lexie wanted proof. This I think endeared her to Aiden moreso than anything else because the rest of her profession tended to leap without looking.
The fact of the matter is the book was more about finding the killer then it was about watching Aiden romance Lexie. Wasn't a whole lot of that going on, especially after the dream they 'shared'. Their personalities clashed--Lexie was more forthright with her opinion while Aiden, though blunt, would skate around the issue unless pressed--but they complimented each other well. They seemed to know, on some deeper level, how to handle each other.
As the first book in a new paranormal mystery series about detectives with extraordinary powers, this was exciting. I'm looking forward to Cold Touch, due out in July, which is about Olivia, who has an important part near the end.… (mehr)
