Wake Me

by Alexa Bourne

Her psychic dreams come true.

Sarah McKinley’s attempts to take her foreknowledge of crimes to the Seattle Police Department marked her as a troublemaker and were never taken seriously. Starting over in Austin, she plans never to reveal her gift, but shortly after she arrives, the dreams begin again, and the local police want to know why she has knowledge only the killer could possess.

Detective Jesse Cordell watched his mother con people with her “psychic ability” all through his childhood. He hones in on Sarah, who has means, motive, and opportunity to have murdered the victim in his current investigation. Instinct tells him she didn’t commit the crime, but she definitely knows more than she’s letting on.

Can he put aside his doubts and join forces with her, against everything he believes in, to find the real killer? Or will he do his job and put her behind bars? After all, there’s no such thing as the “psychic ability.” Or is there?

I liked this book, but I didn't love it. The characters, to me, needed a little explanation of their backstories and I felt like Jesse's desision to help Sarah to the extent he did wasn't realistic given the short time they'd known each other and the limited interaction they'd had. I think this could be an awesome book if it was longer and the changes I talked about were made. I would be interested in reading more books by this author.

Well, this was a recommendation from my library ebook site under 'psychic mystery'.
Okay, yep, there was a psychic but she wasn't very interesting. There was a cop & he wasn't very interesting and then the book turned into a soft porn novel. I'm NOT a romance fan, and this book has just been catalogued as "Wish I didn't read it"

I've never read anything by this author and I can safely say that I won't again. The writing was so bad that it made my head hurt. Ugh.
