Maggie M. - , reviewed on 2/12/2016 + 400 more book reviews

Megan Blair has heard "voices" since she was a little girl, but when her mother is murdered when Megan is 15, a family "uncle" takes her in and the voices seem to disappear. As an adult, she is now a physician in the ER, but has trouble blocking out her extreme emotions concerning her patients. After being run off the road and narrowly missing death, an old childhood friend, Neal Grady, comes into her life. Megan finds out she is a descendant of a family of psychics reaching back to the middle ages who are constantly being hunted (for the lack of a better word) by people who either think psychics are "freaks," or who want to use their psychic powers for their own devices/evil. Megan also finds out her mother was a "Pandora" psychic who killed a man that was beating and gang-raping her. Now she is in the fight for her life as the brother of the murdered man has been searching and found Megan for revenge.

While I like the premise of this book, with the psychic skills (it has potential to be refreshing and new), it falls seriously flat. A romance between Megan and Neal develops and really has no business being in the book, as it serves no purpose. The constant referring to psychics as "freaks" becomes redundant and frustrating to the reader. The psychic powers that are touched on and used could have been honed and featured more, yet they are only touched on, so what exactly is the point? All-in-all, a waste of time for me, but I could see how women who enjoy romance novels with a tinge of danger would find this an entertaining read.
