In the sequel to "Spirit Talk," Fiona travels to the psychic research facility with Martin, After her first few days, though, Fiona cannot understand her grandmothers' message sent in a dream: "You have to go because you have to stop them." Stop them from what? Although one building on the grounds is menacingly haunted, the mansion which houses the facility is gorgeous, and the psychic experiments are fascinating but harmless. Phyllis, the woman who runs the facility, is kind and intelligent. As Fiona gets more involved with the other participants, she forgets about her grandmothers' warning...that is, until Richard, Phyllis' husband, comes home. With his appearance, the "real work" expected of the participants begins, culminating in a terrifying chain of events.

“You have to go because you have to stop them.”
Fiona’s grandmother issued this warning in a dream yet Fiona has no idea what the warning means. Stop who? Why?
She travels with Martin to the psychic research facility, not knowing what her future holds or what will happen. All she knows is that she needs to follow this path and see where it leads. The “pod” and the people there are very nice. There’s Phyllis, the woman who runs it along with her husband Richard. Richard doesn’t come around very often but when he does, the real psychic work begins.
Fiona befriends everyone there including Betsy, Connie, Alvin and Max. Each one has a special ability and uses it in various ways. Since they’re close in age, Fiona and Betsy become best friends. Just when Fiona is feeling at home, Richard returns. Suddenly, the air crackles with tension and he pushes everyone to their psychic limits, including Fiona. All is not as it seems and when Fiona has a vision that contradicts Richard’s pleas, she’s afraid to speak up. An unspeakable event takes place and everything Fiona believes erupts. Can she escape and secure her own Saturn Line or has she made a deadly choice?
The Saturn Line picks up right where Spirit Talk ends and we explore the lessons Fiona learns about her psychic abilities. Each character from Martin to Phyllis to even Betsy go through so much in this tale but it’s Fiona I’m captivated with. Her growth is astronomical as she gains confidence in her abilities as well as interacting with others. The author’s research into psychic experiments is well conceived and accurate. Plenty of twists and turns leading to an explosive climax I didn’t see coming makes this a must read.
If you’re a fan of paranormal suspense, you’ll love The Saturn Line. I loved it and I can’t wait for book three!

This is the second book in the Fiona series and I'm loving it! In this book Fiona, a nineteen year old girl with special psychic gifts, is having her life uprooted once again. The first time was shortly after her father died and she came to Fireside, Minnesota to live with her grandmother. Her grandmother has now died and Fiona has nowhere to go, but back home with her mom, which she really doesn't want to do.
An unsavory character, named Martin, comes into Fiona's life on the tail of her grandmother's death and asks her to consider being a test subject in a facility that studies people with supernatural powers. He seems to know Fiona can hear the voices of spirits, which creeps her out, but he offers her 3000 dollars a month to stay there. Fiona who needs the money for college and a new life agrees.
At first life in the facility, or pod, isn't too bad. The creepy guy Martin takes his leave soon after she arrives. Phyllis, the lady running the place, is pleasant and very eager to help Fiona discover more about her supernatural talents. She makes friends there that have their own gifts. She grows especially close to a young girl named Becky. One night Becky goes to see her boyfriend who lives in a hockey dormitory next to the pod. When Fiona approaches the dorm, she feels an evil presence and hears tormented spirits. The place is spooky and Fiona tries to avoid it.
Things at the facility go from good to bad quickly when Phyllis's husband Richard arrives. He's an awful man who pushes Fiona and the others to use their powers to locate a man he claims is lost to his family. Fiona begins to wonder about Richard's true motives and whether or not she can remain at the pod.
Can't wait for the next book to see where Fiona's life takes her next. The author did a great job creating her characters and the world they live in. I think I would term this a paranormal YA with a dash of romance. If you enjoy paranormal reads, you'll love this series.
