Excerpt One:

Candle Bearclawstood in front of Carl's large mahogany desk, laid the unsealed white envelopeface up on the polished desktop, and slid it toward her boss.

“What's this?”Carl eyed the offending envelope.

“It's what wetalked about last week, my resignation.” Candle swung her briefcase onto theleather chair beside her. Pulling out a laptop computer, a manila file folder,and a memory stick, she sat them on the corner of her boss's desk. “It's allhere, including the passwords necessary to access the sensitive files, my workthus far on the assignment, including my contacts, and it's a good stoppingpoint for me. Someone else should be able to pick up exactly where I left off,seamlessly. I am requesting a no contact status by you and the agency.” Shepulled out a .380 semi-automatic tucked into the waistband of her slacks,ejected the magazine, and racked the slide open. Gingerly setting the gun onthe desk beside the other items, she sighed.

He looked acrossthe desk at her, observing her actions. “I understand your position, but thatmay not be possible. How deep were you?”

Hands flat onthe desktop, she leaned over and glared at him. “Deep enough to understand theassignment went against every fiber of my being. You knew that when youassigned it to me, and yet, you did it anyway, knowing it would be my final actas a CIA operative.”

Review: Candace, a computer geek thatresigned from a special task force agency, was looking for a normal life again.But she wasn’t normal though. Not only did she have a gift for technology, butshe also has the gift of “second sight.”

Candace felt like she needed abreak, and what better place was there to take a break than home? Back to Momand Dad. Things get a little slow as the family gets reacquainted again andCandace hears about what’s been going on with everyone in town. Going aroundtown, we meet several of those characters, which felt numerous to me. Not a fanof a story with too many characters. I wasn’t even sure how to pronounce theleading man’s name: Miacoh. Was it Mee-Eh-Ko? Mya-Ko? Or was the last part aKuh? That was a little confusion. I would’ve preferred an easier name.

The narrative was nice and easy,but the overall progression was slow. It was mostly the characters relating andtalking to each other at first; the murders don’t really happen until muchlater. And, of course, the murders were the best part for me. I liked how theauthor incorporated some paranormal elements along with a key romance andmystery; however, the whole thing was much too long and slow to keep up myinterest. The story was nicely written and it’s definitely worthy of a read.

Rating:3 stars
