Summary: This One Kept Me Guessing
Review: This book kept me guessing. The characters were not your usual bunch of women's suspense novel people, the tough-as-nails heroine, the hero who could break Arnold Schwartzengger over his knee. I think one really interesting thing about this book is that everybody seemed haunted by the past except the old lady who could see into the future. The little kid who might be psychic was interesting, too. She wasn't a cutesy-wootzy kid-she needed love, and it was going to take special people to reach her. This book seemed to me to be about loners who learn to let down their defenses, but it was also a good suspense story. I'm going to try to read all this writer's books.

Summary: A QUICK, EASY READ...
Review: This is a mildly entertaining, quick read. There is, however, little character development, as it is primarily a plot driven novel of moderate suspense. It is also not as good as her other suspense novel "Whose Little Girl Are You", which is much more interesting.As with her other book, the plot revolves around family ties. Here, a young woman, Eden, in her early thirties is called back home after a fifteen year absence, as her grandmother who raised her had an accident, breaking her leg. Her granny is is a psychic who runs a hotline. Eden is a gifted mimic, and her granny needs her to answer her psychic hotline while she recuperates in the hospital. Moreover, a child, ostensibly that of her sister, Mimi, has been left at her granny's house, and Eden has been charged with her care in the interim, as Mimi is nowhere to be found. This child, Peyton, has had an apparently hard life, because Mimi has made poor choices with respect to her companions. It is clear that the child has been traumatized. Unbeknownst to either Eden or her grandmother, Mimi had sent her child to her granny's house in the hope that she would find safety. You see, Mimi is being hunted by two very violent terrorists, who will stop at nothing to silence her and Peyton about what they may know about some of their recent terrorist activity. While all this is going on, Eden keeps getting calls on the psychic hotline from a woman who identifies herself as "Constance", but who Eden suspects may be none other than Mimi. Meanwhile, Owen, granny's good looking next door neighbor and an ex cop, finds himself attracted to Eden, and she to him. He looks out for Eden and her granny of whom he is fond and tries to locate Mimi for them. He may, however, be too late, as Mimi is at the end of her tether, and those who hunt her are nipping at her heels. What happens next is harrowing.

Summary: A Page-Turner--Nobody's What They Seem!
Review: This is a page-turner in which most of the characters are not what they seem to be. Eden, the heroine, just wants to stay uninvolved, but it's impossible. She doesn't know it, but past, present, and future are forming the Perfect Storm to bring hurricane force to her life. Is Jessie a pyschic genius? Or an old phoney? Or is she both, mysteriously and dangerously mixed together? Is the strange little child a force for evil or for good? Appearances keep playing tricks in this book; the terrorists seem so clean cut they can get away with almost anything...until the heroine reluctantly joins forces with one very cynical cop who long ago learned nothing is it seems.

Summary: An Engrossing Book With Real Characters
Review: This is an engrossing book with real characters who are multi-dimensional and caught up in an emotional situation for which none of them could have planned or prepared. This is not a light, escapist book, but it is a good read with a highly original premise and genuine emotion.

Summary: A Page-Turner--Nobody's What They Seem!
Review: This is the first book in 10 years that I refused to finish reading. The dialoge was horrible. The storyline could have been good if the characters were believable. My curosity got the best of me so I read the last 2 chapters of the book to see if it got any better. A big fat no. Don't waste your time with this one. Ms Campbell's book "Don't talk to strangers" was much better.
