Archaeology, an old mystery, and murder combine to make this university based novel a suspenseful and compelling read. Add in a psychically sensitive character or three and you just know you're in the right place. It caught me at the outset, and forced me to finish it in one day. I loved it! ( )

This was such a good mystery read. I enjoyed that it was a little different and a little tied to this world, but mostly very very addicting.

I started reading this book late in the evening and was certain I’d be able to do just a few chapters and then take myself off to bed, but this book and Meaker had other plans for me. I ended up reading most of the book in one go, and had to finish it the next night. I felt like I was constantly kept wondering where things were going to head and what each new detail meant.

The pace was perfect for this genre of read, as it kept moving, but still gave me time to take in and allocate all of the details to a part of the story. I was constantly trying to guess what each piece of the puzzle meant, but the pace was good enough to give me time to think it and then really threw me into finding out the real reason why.

I found the premise of the story intriguing and very interesting. Meaker started out giving us a good deal of detail and excitement, and, instead of tapering this off leaving me feeling a bit bored, Pearl was able to keep the flow going and I felt as though I was always given more more more. It was lovely.

I highly recommend this read.
