As a serial killer terrorizes New Orleans, a reluctant psychic sees every gruesome act in this thriller by the #1 New York Times bestselling author. A woman's burned and brutalized corpse is found in a seedy New Orleans apartment. Her killer is certain there were no witnesses, unaware that his every move was seen by a beautiful stranger--through nightmarish visions that came to her in bed in a bayou cottage on the outskirts of town. Weeks later, another terrifying vision shatters Olivia Bechet's sleep. Convinced a serial killer is stalking the city, she turns to the authorities. But jaded detective Rick Bentz doesn't believe her--even when a second body turns up, slain in exactly the same bizarre, ritualistic manner Olivia described. As New Orleans panics in the grip of a merciless killer, Olivia is frustrated by Bentz's skepticism. And yet she is also captivated by her attraction to him. But then her dreams are invaded by a murder that has yet to be committed. This time, Olivia recognizes the victim--and the murderer. And both are closer than she ever imagined.

I LOVED this book. I got caught up on a lot of questions I had about previous books by Lisa Jackson.

Bentz finally blossoms
It is hard to tell a story that is disjointed without losing a reader. The story unfolds nicely and with precision - yet lets the reader wonder where it will go next. That the Detective is skeptical lends itself to the story and allows the reader to believe the truthfulness of the plot. Psychic abilities abound in our society and few people believe. The unfolding of the story has the Detective crossing over to belief of the woman he originally calls a "nutcase". The peril hits dangerously close to home for our beloved hero and one can sense the impending doom. Of course, the hero and heroine will not allow such peril to destroy their lives. That the end does not immediately follow up with marriage, but just a man and a woman trying to find a medium with which to share their lives allows us "mere mortals" to believe that we can also succeed in the game of live/love. A must read for anyone who enjoys a good Jackson novel and also for anyone who likes the humanistic approach without the fairytale endings that oft are produced in books such as these.
