Description

Coming January 18, 2016 The first installment in Lisa Hughey's brand new series: The Nostradamus Prophecies, a sexy paranormal romantic suspense series.

The Nostradamus Prophecies:
A modern day descendant of the famed French seer, Nostradamus, is in a race against time to decipher her ancestor’s prophecies and stop the world destruction he predicted.

View To A Kill (Nostradamus Prophecies #1)

Every night Mari Johnson’s dead brother visits in her dreams. The CIA tells her his death was a suicide, but she refuses to believe it. There’s no way he’d leave her again. But if she can’t trust the shadow organization that her brother worked with for answers, then she’ll turn to turn to his surprisingly sexy partner instead…the man who was with him when he died.

Every night Nik Stanley relives the night he watched his best friend die. In vain, he battles the guilt that haunts him. As a member of Project Specter, a program that uses people with paranormal talents for intelligence gathering, he can’t shake the feeling that he should have known that something was wrong.

But when Mari and Nik join forces, the pair are thrown a little too close together, and their digging only draws the attention of powerful enemies that would do anything to keep their secrets hidden.

Received book through NetGalley for an honest review.

She dreams of his death each night. How could her brother be dead and why? He dreams of his friends death each night. Why did his friend get himself killed? Was it really suicide?

Mari must find out the truth of her brother's death. And will Nik, her brother's friend be able to help. But there are so many lies and deceptions. And now as she has gotten closer to Nik there are even more feelings to understand.

A great paranormal romance and mystery story.

Terrific book in a new series. I loved how the author used pieces of facts on remote viewing and wove them together with psychic abilities to make the plot believable. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and my only regret is that I can't purchase this book for my library as it is only in ebook format at the moment. Great new author for me.

I’m not entirely sure what to think about this book. I went into it with virtually no expectations. Guess what? I really enjoyed it. This is romantic suspense with a twist of paranormal tied in with prophecies that were made by Nostradamus which made it utterly unique and a pleasure to read.
There were many twists and turns so I never knew what was going to happen. It is well written and engaging.
Marisol Johnson has been dreaming about her twin John who died in a special ops mission with specter. Nik was on the other side of the roof watching what was happening and it looked as if John committed suicide but through the dreams that wasn’t the case. We have conspiracy theories and the main characters had chemistry. I personally didn’t like Hawk and Kel but mainly for the fact that they didn’t believe Nik. I felt as if they abandoned him. So you’re probably wondering how Nostradamus is involved with all this, right? Well he and a friend wrote the book of predictions and through the book, what was written down and the diagrams etc. His granddaughter Sylvie was to stop them with Leonardo. It is a race against time. They get the truth this time but there is always a next time. There were some things that bothered me thus being There was a photo on Mari’s father’s desk and I felt as if it there was an emphasis that it had to have been of importance but in the end it was mentioned again. Why is it always the Russians? I personally would have liked to have seen a bigger picture of what was to come maybe that will happen in the next upcoming books. I will most certainly read them. In my opinion the book could have been longer to fill in some more gaps and to create a secure foundation. This is also my opinion that the end just fizzled out. I turned the next page and it was over. Say what?

If you want something different then I can only recommend this book!

I was given an ARC of this book via Netgalley in return for an honest review.

The book opens with a bang and wham you are hooked. A murder, CIA cover up, a traitor, Russian billionaire, hunky guys with psychic abilities and don't forget Nostrodamus's Quatrains.

This is a book that could be in the realms of possibility so it is all the more fascinating and compelling. I found myself glued to the pages and just couldn't put it down. I hated that work and sleep interfered with my enjoyment of the book and then when it ended I felt a little bereft as I didn't want it to end, I wanted Kel, Hawk, Nik, Mari and Slyvie to continue the adventure and expose more mysteries. I'm so glad this is the first in a series and can't wait to read book 2. This is going to be a compelling series especially as it is based around the Quatrains of Nostrodamus. Who doesn't love a mystery based on the past especially when they are wrapped up in mysterious verse.

I absolutely loved this book. I felt that it had all the elements to make a fantastic read, murder, mystery, hunky men, a little bit of fantasy, a mysterious villain and a little bit of romance thrown in.

The author's style of writing made it a quick easy read and had you hooked from page 1.

Definitely a book I would recommend.

Lisa Hughey has become a "Must Read" author- every book, as soon as it's released. I've read a couple of her other books and her skill continues to grow.

View To A Kill is the start of The Nostradamus Prophecies series I always expect the first story in a series to be heavy on world building and additional characters place in this world. And there is a lot going on in this story… part of me wants to say too much was going on, but I believe that in the continuation oft he series we’ll be glad for those bits of information early on.

Nik’s partner, John was killed on a special ops assignment – although it was ruled that John committed suicide by the powers that be. That makes no sense to Nik and he is hounded by nightly dreams that only add to the confusion in his mind.

John had a twin sister, Mari, who he never told any of his associates about. Now Mari is receiving messages from her deceased twin nightly. She needs to find out the truth – and the best way in is through her brother’s partner, Nik.

View To A Kill is certainly action packed, a very good mix of information that we need for this story and for those to come. We are introduced to the other members of this paranormal abilities special ops group, and while I was annoyed at them not believing Nik sooner I am looking forward to their unique stories. Mari and Nik had sizzle off the charts at times, and if I wished for more romance than action that is simply my enjoyment style of reading.

Overall I enjoyed this story very much and am looking forward to the next installment in the series. If you love Paranormal, perhaps a touch of Mystery along with your Romance then you would enjoy View To A Kill. I happen to be fascinated with prophecies of any kind, so that was of particular enjoyment to me.

Mari Johnson had just found out that she had a twin brother that was separated from her at birth. Her brother had been raised by their father and she by their mother. Now, shortly after the two had met and formed a bond Mari’s brother is said to have committed suicide. Mari knows though that there is no way that her brother was suicidal and wants to get to the bottom of what had happened.

The only lead Mari has to find out anything on her brother’s death is that Mari continues to have dreams of his last moments every night. The two both had abilities and he had been teaching Mari how to use hers before his passing. Mari knows that her brother was a part of a covert op with the CIA but little about what his mission had been so her mission now is to get close to her brother’s sexy partner Nik Stanley.

View To A Kill is the first book in the Nostradamus Prophecies by Lisa Hughey. Immediately the story gets into how Mari has dreams of her brother that are a flashback of what had happened even though she was not there that night. From there you learn more of the abilities of other characters in the story and it really became quite an intriguing read.

I will say the one thing I found is that this could have used a bit more explanation of what the guys actually do. The hints at visual/physical ops wasn’t expanded on so I just had to assume it had something to do with the way Mari was seeing things she hadn’t been there for.

Otherwise, this book really went at a fast pace with the mix of psychic type of abilities while trying to solve the mystery of what had happened to Mari’s brother along with a developing hot and steamy romance. Just my type of read mixing so many different elements into a story and I will definitely be continuing one with the series.
