No Exit
US Navy SEAL Kelly Nolan, commander of Nighthawks, a special ops unit, is assigned duty to protect a Presidential candidate during a visit to England. So what has a woman from half the world away seen that makes them seek her out?
Rebecca Miller is a gifted psychic. Two years ago she ‘read’ a US Senator’s wife and although Elizabeth Glover’s fears about her husband’s death were real, Rebecca reassured her that measures would be taken to avoid it. She ‘saw’ two of the people protecting him – a Native American, and an old flying buddy. And now, ex fighter pilot and Senator John Glover is a viable Presidential candidate, working hard to get the votes, while Rebecca Miller is invited to speak at a paranormal symposium in London.
At Heathrow, she’s not met by the event organizer, but by two men in military uniforms. One of them, Kelly, a Native American, is vaguely familiar. Has she seen him before? Is this handsome guy really talking to me? she wonders. Yes, he is and she’s now in protective custody… She knows this is about that Senator destined to be President. She has no choice but to go with them.
At the airfield, Rebecca refuses to get into the chopper that awaits because she knows she will die if she goes near it. He might be psychic himself, and he might even like her, but Kelly Nolan’s patience is wearing very thin. Then comes a shot from the woods and Rebecca Miller is dead at his feet.
Rebecca, from the other side of life, is given a choice; she may stay, or return to finish what she started. After Rebecca wakes on a morgue slab and scares the pants off a medic, Kelly gets the call that she’s alive. Even disbelievers call it a miracle, and those who want John Glover dead return to their drawing boards.
Whatever lies in store for the psychic and the SEAL, life will never be the same again for anyone involved, and many lives change. Some for the better.

I feel that some books are not getting the proper attention they deserve. This is in the top of that list. No Exit is an amazing novel, which has not reached properly to readers and bloggers. I hope this review will make at least some of you know that this novel is a page turner and truly, a great work.
Rebecca Miller is a psychic - she sees into people's future and heals the sick. When, at the age of 5, Rebecca started showing her psychic abilities, her father freaked out, and never again came near her. Even without father's love and care, Rebecca grew up quite strong and kind to lead her own life. But, similar to her father, there are people who fear Rebecca and as a result, now, in her twenty-five years, she has no friends (except her secretary, Annie) and never got past the first date.
Two years ago, Rebecca 'read' the future of her client's husband, who was the U.S. Senator. She suspected that he might be murdered and there might be some betrayal involved. Because of this 'reading', she was brought forcefully by the Nighthawks to England to help stop that murder. This is where she meets Kelly Nolan, commander of the Nighthawks, who was drawing her picture from the age of 15, without realizing it.
The love, mystery, action, pain, death and betrayal are portrayed perfectly. The character development was what more than what I expected. Rebecca was one of the best heroines that I know of..so stubborn, so helpful, so caring. Yeah, she does mistakes, but who doesn't? Though she is not normal, she doesn't wallow in self-pity..she takes care of life in her own way. There are no faults I can find with this book..all positives - strong characters, excellent story-telling, intriguing mystery and believable psychic elements.
This is not the first that I read from this author. I already have read "A Tear of Blood" by her, and I liked that too, well, not this much. This author really thinks a great story to tell..I am having her on my watch-list.
Highly highly recommended!

Not sure what to say about this one. I enjoyed it for the most part. It sucked me in, but a few things bothered me.
The heroine was just too much. She could tell the past and the future by touching someone or by touching something or just by thinking about some random person in the world. She could see auras, cure people and plants, read minds and see and talk to ghosts and help them to the afterworld. Not to mention that she had an angel as her personal imaginary friend and was important enough to come back from the dead. Thinking back on this book I'm pretty sure she couldn't fly but that was about the only thing she couldn't do.
The hero was a cipher basically and he blew hot and cold and had weird cold reactions to her sometimes even after he declares he loves her. Even though he's been obsessed with her since she was 15 and has been compulsively painting her picture for 15 years, he married another woman and is in fact still married to the OW during the course of this book. But he has the gall to say to the heroine that maybe the reason she's never had any luck with guys is that she was waiting for him. Hmph.
Still there were moments of brilliance. When she was dead for example and some of her miracles. The ending became a morass of not very interesting political/military suspense that was frankly a bit confusing.
Final thoughts compulsively readable but missed the mark romantically.

Once I started reading “No Exit” by author Julie Harris I did not want to take a break. The theme, pace, and intrigue of the story held my interest from start until the end. I really liked the key characters and the story is a believable possibility of the paranormal.
As a little girl, Rebecca had a very special invisible friend. This is not unusual since most children go through phases of imaginary friends. But for Rebecca, her friend was different and Rebecca was different. The first indication of Rebecca being an unusual child happened when at age five she was taken to visit her dying grandmother. Rebecca told her parents that it was not time for her grandmother to go and be with Pops. The invisible friend told her to go and touch her grandmother and when she did, her grandmother woke up from her coma and her health began to improve. Her father asked her what had happened, and how did she make her dying grandmother begin to heal from the strokes. The little child simple told her father that “Love did it”!
Rebecca had several gifts which defied explanation, and her parents did not want to talk about this or acknowledge the rare blessing which their child possessed. Rebecca’s parents wanted a normal child. Her father who she adored was afraid of her, called her a freak, and left the family. Rebecca was heartbroken, but knew she had a purpose in life to help and heal those around her who needed help. Although her mother did not understand or encourage Rebecca’s behavior, she accepted that her daughter had a gift and was different.
The invisible friend who Rebecca called “Manwell” when she was a child, was really an unseen guardian to help Rebecca live with her gift as a normal part of her everyday life. Her perception of God was unshakable and as she grew up she felt that He was always with her. “Manwell” was really named Immanuel, and taught her how to see things that other people could not see. Not only did Rebecca have a gift to heal, she could see a persons past, present and future when she touched them. As you read further into the story, you will realize how important it was for Rebecca to be careful when meeting people and as she was touched. Her physic abilities increased and would flood through her with information about those around her. She was determined to always use her abilities only for good.
When Rebecca is about twenty-five years old, life for her changes drastically. This begins the very interesting story of how she is tricked, and coerced to use her gifts for US Blackhawk operations. Because of a previous consultation she had held with a US senators wife, Rebecca is held against her will and thrown into a whirlwind of military and political deceit with an ultimate goal of assassination .
Continue to read and learn how Rebecca finds there is another person who has very special gifts also. Could this be the love of her life or will he be using her for his own political motives. The title “No Exit” is fully understood as the plot progresses and one of her friends is force to make a decision...follow his commanders orders as a sniper in an assassination or protect his new friend!
(personally, I would enjoy to read more adventures about Rebecca and Kelly...)

Commander Kelly Nolan in a Navy SEAL with an unwanted mission – to secure psychic Rebecca Miller and transport her safely to an American military base on British soil. The Australian woman had, two years previously, done a reading for the wife of an American Senator who was now running for the highest office in the country. During the reading, she had seen the Senator's death, and Kelly's unit is tasked with ensuring it doesn't happen. Kelly quickly realizes that he has a very personal connection to Rebecca; she's the mystery woman he's been painting for the past 15 years.
Rebecca is shocked when she is met at the airport by two men in uniform, one of whom she recognizes, who tell her that the conference at which she was scheduled to speak turns out to be a farce used to get her into England and she has to come with them. They don't tell her why, but she knows it's about the Senator she saw die. As they pull up in front of a helicopter, Rebecca freaks out, knowing that if she gets in the helicopter she will die. Of course, the uniforms refuse to believe her and push her on, but they are quickly convinced when a bullet goes through her heart. An hour and a half later, the wound heals itself and Rebecca wakes up, ensuring her status as a freak.
Over the next three months, she faces threats to her life, hostile attitudes, and disbelievers. As if that weren't enough, she also has to figure out whether Kelly is the love of her life or if he's just using her to take out the Senator. She does eventually discover who her real friends are, but who will make the ultimate sacrifice to protect her?
I enjoyed this book from the very beginning. I was touched by the story of Rebecca's childhood and instantly curious about the psychic connection between her and Kelly. I thought the storyline about Emmanuele was interesting and love that Rebecca always stood up for herself and her gift. There were several plot threads, and they were interesting and easily followed.
The writing was well-done and the book was properly edited, which I greatly appreciated. Even with multiple sub-plots, the story was cohesive and everything made sense. Harris delves into spirituality and morality in a way that's easy to relate to and not at all preachy. There were so many aspects of this story that it should appeal to a wide variety of audiences, and I highly recommend picking it up and spending a few hours with the book; you won't regret it.

A 5-star suspense-thriller with some romance tossed in.
Rebecca had a special ability, one that made her father leave when she was just a child, one that made most people afraid of being a friend. She could see things about people, the past, the present and the future, with just a simple touch. Plus, she could also heal the sick or the dying.
On what was supposed to have been a 2 week seminar and get away vacation, Rebecca is met at the airport by “official looking gentlemen.” Not being told anything, she is taken away, but she is afraid to board the helicopter as she sees what will happen. A sniper!!! While she is clinically dead, she discusses with her angel, Emanual, that there is something she was meant to do but did not do. She wants to go back.
Nearly scaring the technician in the morgue to death, Rebecca comes back to life. She is in a secret location with military black ops men, and she is there to foresee the future presidential election. She sees other things as well, including who the sniper was that shot her!
Add to the mix a tall, dark and handsome Navy SEAL Commander, Kelly Nolan. What is the attraction between them? Why can’t she see him the way she can see others? The feeling that she knows him from somewhere is strong, plus he has been painting her for more than 10 years.
What is it that an Australian with a special gift needs to stay in England to make sure the future president of the United States is not assassinated? Is he really the next president, or will the sniper succeed? You’ll have to read for yourself to find out if Rebecca really can see the future.

Another author to add to my list of favorites!
I had never read anything by Julie Harris before, but decided to try this one, based on a recommendation from a friend who is a big fan of her and has read about six of her books. I’m really glad I did. While her online biography on Amazon says that some have compared her to Harper Lee (author of the classic “To Kill a Mockingbird”), Lee only published that one book. One thing I’m sure of, now that I’ve read this one by Harris, I’m going to hunt down and read her other novels.
This book really defies being placed in a narrow genre box. While there is a psychic involved, this is not solely a story about paranormal phenomenon. It takes place in the arena of a Presidential election, but one far more interesting and complicated than the one currently going on in the U.S. in 2012.
The scenes with the death and resurrection of the psychic are frightening and done is a very believable fashion. And that is only really the beginning setup in many ways for a complex and entertaining look at what is at the heart of so much great literature: human dilemmas and choices, and the moral quandary that people often face when they know that they ultimately have to do the right thing, but doing the right thing will cost them dearly.
The characterizations were deep and fleshed out, not stereotypes or stick figures, like you’ll see in all too many political themed thrillers. I was not able to put this one down until I finished it late last night. A fast paced exciting book to read, a roller coaster of the mind.

It's not fantasy , it's not paranormal either . I think I'll categorize it as supernatural thriller ,mystery (romance?!).
It was a different book . It wasn't fluff or an easy read but I was hooked from page one. It was angst-filled!!! but I loved it
I have to say it has one scary cover.

Please be aware that this review is my own opinion. This is not a paid review. To form your own opinions please support the author and acquire your own legal copy of the book.
While reading this book the following thought popped into my head and just seemed to fit so well with this amazing book. “From the first page this book grabs the reader’s attention, pulls the reader in and refuses to let go!” That honestly sums up the whole book. I hated having to put this book down while either reading on my breaks at work or before going to sleep at night. I almost took a vacation day just so I could read this book. I could not wait to finish reading. Julie Harris has found a fan in me. I hope my review will do justice to this book.
I honestly did not understand the title of this book until almost the very end. Then everything was clear. The title made perfect sense, because in the end there is ‘No Exit’.
There are two main characters in the book, Rebecca Miller and Kelly Nolan. Rebecca is not your everyday 1-900 number psychic. She has a gift, a gift that is beyond human understanding. Kelly Nolan is a commander in the US Navy Seals. He is in charge of a small special ops force. There are several minor characters in this book but all play an important role in creating the special feeling in this book.
Rebecca has an amazing gift. This gift is beyond human understanding. People call her weird, a freak, unnatural and many other hurtful names. Why, you ask? It is because she can tell a stranger their past but also knows the future for that stranger. She can touch someone and heal him or her from all there aches and pains. She can shake someone’s hand and knows if there is a future for the person.
In the past, Rebecca read a female that was visiting from the USA. She told this woman when, where, and how her husband would die. At the time, Rebecca did not think anything of it, but she recorded the session and gave a copy to her client. Two years pass and Rebecca is asked to attend and speak at a conference in London. Unknown to Rebecca she is about to be kidnapped, a prisoner, a visitor that is not allowed to leave the US Air Force Base in England.
Commander Kelly Nolan is a Cherokee Indian. He is also psychic. He can read people’s mind. Would that be wonderful? I would love to know what other people are thinking or wanting to say but to scared to say it.
After reading this book, it will make the reader wonder if there are people like these two somewhere in the world. Do I wonder? Yes, I do. Why? Because anything is possible in the great amazing world, we live in.
Rebecca is a strong female character that has learned how to handle no close friends, no second date, no love and support from family members. However, things like that always make us stronger. No matter what we have been through it has made us a stronger in character. The one thing in life Rebecca wants is to be normal, to have a normal life with someone to love her. Will she ever find that someone? Will she ever be normal?
I hope you will find the time to read this amazing book. I have tried to think of what genre this books fits in but it is a collection of them. I would put it in paranormal, paranormal-romance, suspense, and mystery.
The bunnies and I give this book 5-carrots.

No Exit by Julie Harris is a fictional supernatural-thriller with romance that sucks you in from the moment you start the book to the last word. This well written story was nicely paced and forever keeping me in suspense.
Rebecca Miller has a psychic gift or a curse depending on who you asked. To some she is an angel and healer and others a freak of nature. It kept her from having close relationships with even her own parents who were uneasy around her. As Rebecca grew into a young woman she used her 'gift' to help others and even the most skeptical people noticed her. She was invited to speak at a paranormal event only to find out it was a hoax and there really was no such event. It was a ploy to get her to London where she was met at the airport by some men in uniform who turn out to be US Navy SEALs. Kelly Nolan, commander of the Nighthawks, looks familiar to her but she can't quite place him. He takes her into protective custody where she learns the true reason for the her presence.
Two years prior Rebecca did a "reading" for a US Senator's wife confirming her fears about her husband's death. Senator Glover didn't believe in any of the psychic stuff but now that he is a presidential candidate the SEALs have orders to keep John Glover alive despite their knowledge some want him dead and Rebecca is to help them with this mission. Between her help from her "gift" and the remote viewing and psychic connection by others on the team failure is not an option even if one of their own is "seen" to be the assassin. Rebecca not only learn more about being a SEAL than she ever wanted to know, this journey takes her places she never imagined including her own death. She learns about betrayal but more importantly she learns about friendship and love. She also learns that sometimes their is no exit.
Even though the main plot has several sub-plots I found the story easy to follow and captivating. I love the style of the author used to introduce these sub-plots as each in its own right was interesting and important to the main story. The story as a whole progressed nicely with content and time line. "No Exit" will be found on my favorite shelf since I found it to be completely enjoyable.
Rebecca Miller has a psychic gift or a curse depending on who you asked. To some she is an angel and healer and others a freak of nature. It kept her from having close relationships with even her own parents who were uneasy around her. As Rebecca grew into a young woman she used her 'gift' to help others and even the most skeptical people noticed her. She was invited to speak at a paranormal event only to find out it was a hoax and there really was no such event. It was a ploy to get her to London where she was met at the airport by some men in uniform who turn out to be US Navy SEALs. Kelly Nolan, commander of the Nighthawks, looks familiar to her but she can't quite place him. He takes her into protective custody where she learns the true reason for the her presence.
Two years prior Rebecca did a "reading" for a US Senator's wife confirming her fears about her husband's death. Senator Glover didn't believe in any of the psychic stuff but now that he is a presidential candidate the SEALs have orders to keep John Glover alive despite their knowledge some want him dead and Rebecca is to help them with this mission. Between her help from her "gift" and the remote viewing and psychic connection by others on the team failure is not an option even if one of their own is "seen" to be the assassin. Rebecca not only learn more about being a SEAL than she ever wanted to know, this journey takes her places she never imagined including her own death. She learns about betrayal but more importantly she learns about friendship and love. She also learns that sometimes their is no exit.

This was an excellent read! The characters in this novel are extremely well developed and draw you into their world – a world of psychic gifts, espionage, and supercharged sexuality. Rebecca Miller was an unusual child who demonstrated psychic power and the ability to heal by touch at a very early age. Her father was so disturbed by his daughter’s gifts that he divorced her mother to get away from his own child. By the time she was 23, she had an international reputation and a psychic consultation with the wife of an American senator, whose future she saw as the President of the United States – if he does not go on a trip to England prior to the election.
Despite her profound gifts, Rebecca has problems: her only friend is her administrative assistant, electronics don’t work around her and no man has ever been able to deal with her gifts for very long. She’s lonely and frustrated, so decided to go speak at a metaphysical conference and take her first vacation in, well, forever. The conference is a set up and Rebecca is abducted by a group of Special Operatives, led by the exotic and compelling Commander Kelly Nolan.
Rebecca’s gifts are a necessity to the Special Ops mission. A certain American Senator, whose wife, Rebecca consulted with is scheduled to land in England in a few days. Is the information Rebecca saw a couple of years ago accurate? Will this Senator be the next President of the United States or will her vision of his assassination come true on the runway?
The plot and several subplots intertwine in a complex and satisfying way. Even the secondary characters are well developed and their stories are fascinating as Rebecca’s life and gifts meet theirs. I’m looking forward to more books from Julie Harris.

I really did enjoy this book having read a few phychic mysteries lately I thought it sounded interesting but would most likely be more of the same but I was really suprised. It was a emotional rollercoaster of a ride I found myself laughing one minute and crying the next. The heroine of the story Rebecca has been labeled a freak by just about everyone she cares for and has been broken and used by the people she thought loved her the most, I loved the fact that she was an australian it was funny to see her use the slang expessions that I hear every day and then sometimes she has to explain them to everyone else. Rebecca is working with a mixed crew of American, English, Scottish and Australian special forces soldiers to try and prevent the assination of a senator running for president by using her gifts and there skills. There is romance with the officer who is second in charge he has his own gifts but also has his own personal demons he must face. The mystery is the ending for the senator keeps changing everytime Rebecca see a vision something changes and so then the events of the assination change with it. A really good read and not a all what I expected.

I really loved this book!! Rebecca Miller is such an awesome character and it is amazing what she can do. You can't help but feel for her the way society treats her, even though she is a true blessing to this world. If you would like to read more of my review www.readtomyhearts.blogspot.com
Julie Harris is a very talented author and I have put her on my "lists of favorites". She definitely knows how to create a magical plot that has the supernatural in it, but still make it very realistic too.

So far I love it. About 75% finished.
Finished. No Exit hooked me on the first page and never let go. I stayed up reading until I couldn't focus anymore. I loved Rebecca and Kelly, but the others, Mac, Steve, Mitch . . . they drew me right in. I laughed and cried with them all. A really good story (even if the woman from Georgia sounded a bit strange :-)

The story was bizarre. It was about Rebecca who had psychic skills and coerced to use her skills to save a possible assassination of potential Presidential candidate. Her love interest, Kelly, also possessed psychic powers and it sounded like he had loved her even in a previous life. It was an okay read and did not particularly have much interest in the characters.

an utter waste of time... ignorant discussion of race at best, racist at worst, sexist, poorly edited... rambling plot that never paid off. cannot recommend.
