Hard to believe this is the same Rachel Caine who wrote Weather Wardens, Stillhouse Lake, and The Great Library. Her voice was missing from this book, scrubbed clean. Also, her writing greatly improved since this book. Still, a decent story and series premise.

I'm a long-standing Rachel Caine fan, and after recently getting my iPhone I wanted to check out another of her books I hadn't read--a romantic suspense novel she'd written as part of the Athena Force series. When I picked up Line of Sight I didn't realize that it was part of a greater continuity, and that in fact it starts off a third line of continuity in the overall series. But that said, the novel stands pretty well by itself and in fact is the launch book for that third continuity line.

And yeah, this was fun. The Athena Academy trains young women in various secret-agenty type skills, and certain of the girls have paranormal abilities as well. But someone has kidnapped two of the Academy's students, and FBI agent Katie Rush--herself a graduate of the Academy--takes on the task of finding them. She's thrown an unexpected complication in the guise of Stefan Blackman, a man who's been living an easy life as a "network psychic". Problem is, Stefan is genuinely psychic, and he's getting visions from one of the kidnapped girls.

Caine's traditional fast pacing is very much in evidence here, as is her ability to whip up some fun chemistry between her lead characters. Plus, she fits very, very well into a line of novels that seems geared for more suspense than romance per se, and it was a very strong introduction for me to the Athena Force. I'll be looking for more of these novels. Four stars.

I might be tempted to read the other 11 books in the continuity. This is a harmless piece of fluff and I really like the extrasensory element.

Very intense. Every time you thought they were rescued it would take a twist

I picked up the book to read because of the author. The story was pretty good. It was slow getting going of the story.

Line of Sight (Athena Force) by Rachel Caine  4 stars

Two students from the Athena Force Academy have been kidnapped and former student now FBI Agent Katie Rush has been asked for her expertise.  
Street magician Stefan Blackman has found that he has a psychic link to one of the girls and soon the two are working together to find the students.
Add to this special abilities and romance and you cant fail to enjoy this novel by Rachel Caine.

Great characters, great action, just the right amount of paranormal. My one complaint is it didn't have an ending. It's part of a twelve part series.
