About this ebook

A RUTHLESS KILLER—

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND

I used to work for the Telepath’s Guild before they kicked me out for a drug habit that wasn’t entirely my fault. Now I work for the cops, helping Homicide Detective Isabella Cherabino put killers behind bars.

My ability to get inside the twisted minds of suspects makes me the best interrogator in the department. But the normals keep me on a short leash. When the Tech Wars ripped the world apart, the Guild stepped up to save it. But they had to get scary to do it—real scary.

Now the cops don’t trust the telepaths, the Guild doesn’t trust me, a serial killer is stalking the city—and I’m aching for a fix. But I need to solve this case. Fast. I’ve just had a vision of the future: I’m the next to die.

Ratings and reviews

I love urban fantasy, and this has the same feel while still being new and fun. The character elicits much sympathy, and you really feel the excitement and gut wrenching hurt of the character. The people in the book are realistic, although sometimes I felt like screaming at them because of their actions. I love the setting, never read a world quite like it

Got slow by the end as it was fairly predictable as per most drawn out friends-not-lovers crime TV shows.....the fight being an N.A. addict was interesting but lacked detail closer to when the drama and action increased...but showing an appropriate title and foreshadow for future books....then next novels will be a quick read

Well developed characters and a solid system behind her powers. Super fun read.
