Dare You To Read Challenge > Cold Sight by Leslie Parrish

Want to try a new series with me? The first book was released today and is already waiting for me on my eReader. I was wondering if any of you want to accept a new dare, a new series, and a possibly new author.

Series: Extra Sensory Agents
Book: Cold Sight
Author: Leslie Parrish
Discussion: What did you think of the book? Would you consider reading more of the series in the future? Would you consider reading more of this author in the future? There's a nice trilogy, the Black CATs, waiting with your name on it. ;)
Duration: July 6 - August 7, 2010
Blurb:After being made a scapegoat in a botched investigation that led to a child's death, Aidan McConnell became a recluse. Still, as a favor to an old friend, Aidan will help on the occasional XI case. But under his handsome, rugged facade, he keeps his emotions in check—for fear of being burned again.

Reporter Lexie Nolan has a nose for news—and she believes a serial killer has been targeting teen girls around Savannah. But no one believes her. So she turns to the new paranormal detective agency and the sexy, mysterious Aidan for help.

But just as the two begin forging a relationship, the case turns eerily personal for Lexie—and Aidan discovers that maybe he hasn't lost the ability to feel after all...

Note: For those of you who are maybe hesitating due to the "unknown" author, Leslie Parrish also writes under the name Leslie Kelly.
