Reluctant psychic Gypsy
Shields (she prefers the term "intuition consultant") finds herself in
trouble when, on her way home from a blind date, she interrupts a
kidnapping in progress. Her heroic attempt to intervene is repaid with a
collision between the attacker's van and a brick wall. She awakens in
hospital, paralyzed on her left side and unable to speak. Unable to
share vital information about the crime she witnessed. Fortunately, her
telepathic connection with her niece helps her throw a line out,
attracting the attention of a police detective: Connor Reardon, Gypsy's
date the night of the attack.
Stepping in to protect Gypsy, Connor even listens to her claims of psychic power. She soon senses he's concealing certain powers of his own. Nor are they all he's concealing. A part of Gypsy's new ally's mind is closed to her”"what she cannot know is that Connor suspects the kidnapper is someone close to him, and the victim holds secrets that will tear through Connor's department, putting careers and lives at risk. Including Gypsy's, as she is left recovering in hospital and vulnerable as the attacker turns his sights on her once again.
Can she use her powers to track down the perpetrator in time to prevent her own murder?

This was a tough read for me. Gypsy is involved in the
psychic world and shares conversations with her niece. After witnessing an
abduction, Gypsy is the only one who can identify the kidnapper by the license
plate of the van. Unfortunately, she was hit by the van during the abduction
and has been in the hospital with a brain injury ever since.
Conner is one of the cops on the high profile abduction case
and it is a lot closer to home than he would like. The killer is someone both
Conner and Gypsy know, plus there are other circumstances that cause someone
else to want to keep Gypsy quiet.
Gypsy and Conner were introduced at dinner, by one of her
book club friends. They are both coming out of relationships, but find there is
an attraction. Conner’s nephew, Aaron, was also at the group dinner and
something about him seemed off to Gypsy.
The two work together to try to solve the crime and figure out who is
after Gypsy before it’s too late.
This is a whirlwind of a story full of suspense. I will say
that the middle of the book moved slowly and I didn’t keep my attention. I did enjoy the overall storyline and how
intense the action was. While their relationship was fun and intense, it didn’t
wow me. I do look forward to seeing where these two go in future books.
