"Haunting paranormal"
SIGHT UNSEEN is a very impressive read from a savvy
writer. In the Phoenix Brother series, the men are
operatives working as a secret branch off the CIA, trying
to fight terrorism inside the US. Agent Ethan Snow has
been trying to break a group called The Covenant, an
elusive, tight- knit groups of terrorist planning a big
attack. For six months, Snow as tried to get close to
them, but nothing. Trying to catch them is as easy as
catching smoke. He is at a dead end and willing to try
anything. When the former head of the CIA branch in anti-terrorism
suggests snow contact Raine McAllister, he is surprised to
find he was sent to a psychic. And he is not sure he likes
this. But there is no other option. Raine was a former profiler, a manhunter for the CIA. She
has a special gift that permits her to know things no one
else could. Coming from a rough life of Carney sideshows,
where she read tarot cards to survived, she was put into
the CIA's program of testing children with "special
gifts". When Snow learns of this, he is angry at a child
being used in such a manner. A tougher Raine tells him
playing games with the CIA behavior scientists was a damn
site better than the life she lead before. She is not happy to find Snow on her doorstep. Not happy
to be sucked into the life. Worse, there is a deep
attraction between them. One Snow tries to ignore; one
Raine can already see the future of. As they track The
Covenant, Raine discovers she has repressed childhood
memories of a brutal murder, somehow connected to Snow's
case. As the still waters of the past are disturbed, they
must also uncovered the secret within Raine's brain, as
the hunters are now the hunted. The killer is waiting to
silence Raine for the key her mind holds. Wilson has an easy voice that allows to reader to slid
right into the story. Her understated, no-nonsense style
gives strong credence to this paranormal story. A nifty
tale, just right for summer reading. Posted August 16, 2004
