The first novel in the Special Tracking Unit series.
This is really good. I've been a fan of FBI investigative novels for years, so any time I find one that has a little something extra, I'm interested.

Magnus “Steps” Craig's special ability - that he can see people's "shine" - is well woven into the story. I liked the way the author wove it into the story and investigation. The characters are great, especially the protagonists.

If you're looking for a crime/thriller story with a bit of a difference, then give this a try. Recommended.

I really really enjoyed this book. I found the character to be unique and though synesthesia type books have been done before, I think it was either a first for me, or a first exactly like this one. I found the MCs abilities to be rather neat and his personality was quirky and enjoyable. He keeps his abilities a secret so no one really knows why he's so successful.

I enjoyed the whole book, and really am eager to get the next book, which doesn't come out until next year. Booo! If you are looking for a new and unique take on finding killers, I definitely recommend this one. It was rather enjoyable with the unique abilities and a flawed but likable character.
