I enjoyed this book. Fast paced it is well written if not especially believable. Fun romp with a worthy heroine and a villain skilled and devious.

WOW... Joshua Graham does it again and in such a short novel.
We 1st met Xandra in Darkroom. She is still trying to overcome those events and pickup on her life. Heading back to NY, she plans to close up her apartment that she is selling. Closer.... so she thinks.
She meets little Elissa, the daughter of a congressmen running for President. There is that instant connection and then....... her 2nd sight kicks in and she realizes that Elissa is in danger. The race is then on......
Joshua has the ability to grab you at the very beginning and never lets you go ... not even at the end. His writing elicits a hosts of emotions. I am still consummed by the story. Very few writers have that type of ability.
Truly a gifted writer.
5 stars are not enough.
