Synopsis

Christy Loren has come to fear her gift of clairvoyance, an unwanted legacy from her mother, a famous psychic. Without warning, visions envelop her—visions that have guided the police, too late, to the bodies of murder victims. To escape these horrors, Christy flees her home in Long Island to seek peace and safety in the foothills of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains and the reassuring presence of her down-to-earth aunt.But she finds that threatening mysteries await her in those mountains—mysteries that surround a writer's recent death and the disappearance of the unearthly, enigmatic Deirdre. Christy senses secrets locked in the heart of Deirdre's tormented husband, with whom she fears she is becoming too emotionally involved—and haunting Deirdre's troubled son.Caught in this ominous web, Christy must come to terms with her unwanted psychic powers. As she is drawn into the search for Deirdre, she sees with increasing clarity that the mysteries have a connection to a blood-chilling dream that haunts her. In trying to escape her fate, she has unwittingly embraced it. Now, to uncover the truth, Christy must confront her gift of precognition and her dream. The shocking truth will bring her face-to-face with real and terrifying danger.

Reviews

This Phyllis A. Whitney story was very captivating. I would have liked to have read it in one sitting. The setting for this story was the Mountains of Virginia. If you come from that part of the world, I hope the descriptions in this book did it justice. Now, onto the next one.......more

Goodreads review by Sheri

Eh, weird book. I’ve heard a lot about Phyllis A. Whitney, as an author recommended for people who like Mary Stewart. Well, except for ‘Touch Not the Cat’, none of Mary Stewart’s novels even come close to the sort of stuff going on in this book. Vibes, crystals, seances, channeling, premonitions, rain......more
