Being from Louisiana, this book is compelling. You get all the down home vibes. Although this is not the type of book I typically read, I enjoyed this one!

A good book touching on the theme of people who are psychic and also on loss, very well put together, explored and written. Can only but feel sympathy for the main character as she tries to hide from her past and skills.

Ich hatte etwas ganz anderes erwartet - zudem ist der Schreibstil etwas anstrengend zu lesen und etwas zu dick aufgetragen. Pluspunkte für die gut entwickelte Geschichte.

The description of this book was very enticing, however the book itself failed to deliver. The author had an opportunity to dive deep into a really interesting woman who was possessed with a gift but it fell short. There was too much other stuff going on, drug trafficking, affairs, father/son relationship issues, custody battles, scornful ex-wives, FBI, drug-addicted teens, and the discovery of a dead child. I really struggled to finish this book

Audrey Bliss, as a child, was very intuitive. Her life becomes a whole lot different when she loses her husband and young son in a hurricane and suffers a major head wound. That's when she starts seeing and hearing the voices of missing people.

Her fame spreads and she's not only being requested by police, but by myriads of people looking for lost family members and loved ones. She decides to turn off her gift when she inherits an island from her grandmother, a woman who also had the gift.

But when a young boy is found dead on a pyre, her gift of seeing becomes relentless.

FBI Agent Joe Hightower comes to town to shut down a drug operation. And while that's important and must be done, he gets caught up in Audrey's life ... and the boy that no one has claimed.

The mystery of the drug operation is pretty apparent in the beginning. This is more the story of Audrey, getting past the horrendous deaths of her family and turning her grief into her artwork. There's an attraction between Audrey and Joe, but Joe also has issues. He's fighting his ex-wife for full custody of his young daughter.

It's a love story .... but of a mother for her lost son, for a father for his daughter, for a sheriff and 2 young men that he thinks of as his own.

This was well-written and nothing of what I had expected. I love the characters of Audrey and Joe. I loved how the sheriff started out one way and ended another. The secondary characters were all credible.

"The common eye sees only the outside of things, and judges by that, but the seeing eye pierces through and reads the heart and soul."

Many thanks to the author / Prytania Publishing / Netgalley for the digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Not what I expected after hesitating to pick it up because Christian Fiction is not usually my thing, but the the blurb swayed me. I really enjoyed the story telling! I hope Ms Hinckley continues a series with these characters as there are lot so fways things could go in the future and the characters, are engaging and thoughtful.

The characters don’t seem very intelligent or connected. One dimentional
