Synopsis

Seattle police sketch artist Maggie Barnes has an extraordinary gift. She listens as traumatized crime victims describe their ordeals - and then uses those horrifying recollections to draw dead-on sketches of the assailants. Some cops think Maggie is telepathic, that she can actually enter the victims' minds. Only Maggie knows the truth behind her rare talent ... and she isn't telling. But her secret may be exposed when a madman seizes Seattle in his terrifying grip. He abducts women and blinds them, leaving them barely alive. The police have one hope: the lone victim who might recover her sight. But they don't know that Maggie has her own dark connection to the monster - an eerie link that may stretch back to a string of unsolved murders. To stop the escalating terror, Maggie will have to push her abilities to the breaking point - even if it means confronting a predator whose powers seem to have no bounds....

Lack-luster story with an anticlimactic ending! Maggie Barnes is an empath. She has the ability to mentally connect with victims of violence, so closely in fact that she is able to feel their pain and relive their anguish through the experience of the violence. She's also an exceptionally skilled art......more

Maggie Barnes, is able to draw police sketches by talking with crime victims. Her gift was paranormal and she tried to stay out of the limelight.

Goodreads review by Katrina on November 13, 2014

I'd read a couple of Kay Hooper's lighter romance novellas before starting this book, and those in no way prepared me for this.

Goodreads review by Witchmetal on September 04, 2016

This was probably my favourite in the series so far. I love that the author just starts you in the middle of the story with each book. I also love that they are a while set of new character's with different abilities. I'm loving this series.......more
