Color Blind by Colby Marshall

[Brittany]

I stumbled across this book while I was trying to find a thriller book to read, since this is generally not my favorite genre. The blurb on Amazon sold me;

"There is something unusual about Dr. Jenna Ramey’s brain, a rare perceptual quirk that punctuates her experiences with flashes of color. They are hard to explain: red can mean anger, or love, or strength. But she can use these spontaneous mental associations, understand and interpret them enough to help her read people and situations in ways others cannot. As an FBI forensic psychiatrist, she used it to profile and catch criminals. Years ago, she used it to save her own family from her charming, sociopathic mother.

Now, the FBI has detained a mass murderer and called for Jenna’s help. Upon interrogation she learns that, behind bars or not, he holds the power to harm more innocents—and is obsessed with gaining power over Jenna herself. He has a partner still on the loose. And Jenna’s unique mind, with its strange and subtle perceptions, may be all that can prevent a terrifying reality."

Ummm. Special abilities? FBI? I'm in. I have high hopes for this book. Plus, he has written more books with Dr. Ramey as his main character so I'm hoping I'll get a new favorite author and series out of this one.
