Super soldier Jamie Bloom has been through hell and back. Fighting bad guys was an every other day occurrence in her line of work with the other Phantom Protectors that she calls family. Manipulating emotions and healing powers had been a bonus…until now. When Lydia, the group visionary, predicts that finding the answers to Jamie’s past is the only way to save the group from certain demise, there was only one thing she could do to find the answers they needed. It wasn’t fear of fighting the deranged lunatics that scared her the most, it was finding the answers she’d been searching for all of her life that might be the one thing that finally puts her in a grave.
Bodyguard and family friend, Maxwell Briggs was assigned with one duty and one duty only; which was to guard Lydia Bennett, the Phantoms visionary, from attack. When Lydia has a vision that jeopardizes not only her safety but everyone’s in the unit, there’s only one thing to do...stop the threat before it stops them. Working among the gifted group without powers of his own is a challenge most days. But when they needed his natural gift to help Jamie complete her mission, he’ll stop at nothing to see that she finds what she so desperately desires.
Power hungry, Benjamin Floyd, is known for preying on the weak and taking what he wants. When he sets his sights on Jamie’s gifts, he may just get more than he bargained for from the warrior princess.
Carrying on from the story begun in book 4 of the Bennett sisters series (Lydia’s story), we see Jaime; the healer from the Phantom group; and Max Briggs, Lydia’s bodyguard. Jaime was orphaned at a young age, and when Lydia has a vision in which Jaime plays a key role, they know that it’s her past they’ll need to investigate. With the help of silent giant Max, Jaime goes off to find her past, and hopefully some answers.
This book is an offshoot from the Bennett sister series by the author, and you need to have read book four of that series in order to understand this one. They’re all paranormal suspense, or romantic suspense with paranormal elements, and quite enjoyable reads, I know I certainly plan to read more!
If you enjoy paranormal romantic suspense, then you’ll enjoy this series, and the related books.
This was not quite a four star for me. There were a few weird choices that didn't fit, and I felt a little bit lost at first even though I've read all the Bennett series books. Once it picked up and I caught on to the general premise, I enjoyed it. I really liked Max. His character was perfect. Jamie was a bit of a contradiction to me at times, supposedly a hard warrior but kind of tearful and needy. I enjoy this author, but I'm not sure whether I will keep going with this series.
I like the different POVs it makes the novel more interesting. I liked the fact that Jaime never backed down and that the silent giant took her seriously. Also, the fact that nothing changed for either of them in the heirarchy of the phantom protectors.
There should be a lot of books in this series and the first is great. Action,intrigue ,romance. What more could you want. Get in your favorite read position and enjoy.
