REVIEW

"A fun paranormal romance"

Two years ago, associate lawyer Katerina Piretti's beloved fiancé, Baltimore Sun investigative reporter Peter Dulaney, committed suicide. Kat has had problems accepting the official verdict, especially since she suffers from dreams in which Peter asks for her help.

On Secretary's Day, Kat takes the office assistant to the renowned ANGEL CAFÉ where owner Stephen Carmichael performs a reading that she can see is bogus until he says that Peter did not kill himself. Stephen hires Tia Melody whose readings seem so accurate she begins to have a fan following to see if she can 'see' more for Kat. As Peter and Kat fall in love, they struggle with happenings that seem more appropriate for the Twilight Zone rather than the lives of a lawyer and a restaurateur.

This paranormal romance will make true believers out of the most cynical of doubters that there is another "realm" out there. The story line moves a bit slow at first as Jill Morrow insures the audience fully understands the motives and concerns of the lead protagonists and some support players, and Tia's "gift". This is a special treat, so much so, sub-genre fans will visit ANGEL CAFÉ for more than one reading.

SUMMARY

THE TRUTH LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE...

South Baltimore's Angel Café is a trendy new eatery where patrons can enjoy exotic tea, aromatic coffee, and the psychic readings of clairvoyant Tia Melody. The star and main attraction of the restaurant, Tia claims to channel an otherworldly guide, Valentine, and somehow knows all there is to know about her expanding list of patrons.

Kat Valenti is a workaholic attorney still coming to grips with the death of her fiancé, Peter, who died two years ago. Although drawn to the Angel Café, she is skeptical of Tia's readings -- until her late fiancé 'contacts' her to shed new light on how he died.

Kat's wariness only grows as more clues turn up about Peter's death -- and all of them lead back to the Angel Café. Tia Melody is no simple fortune-teller, and Valentine is no benevolent spirit. Valentine's true power may be almost limitless -- and he doesn't want to tell the future anymore...

He wants Kat.
