Jackson Lee Eye had a childhood that would make the Manson
family look the Brady Bunch. His mother was a beaten down,
submissive wife to Jackson's step father who was a fat,
lazy, worthless slob. This abusive piece of garbage tended
to beat Jackson every chance he got. That was ok with
Jackson, though, because as long as his step father was
focused on him, that meant he would leave his 5 year old
twin sisters alone.
This was Jackson's life until everything changed when he was
14 years old. As he was coming home from school, he found a
single pink shoe lying in a field all by itself. He
recognized this shoe as belonging to his little sister,
Tess. He was puzzled to see it there in the field because
his sister never let those shoes out of her sight as she
loved them so much. When he picked up the shoe, he got the
horrific answer to his question in a razor sharp vision.
That was the day Jackson's life changed into something even
worse than life with his step father.
Through a stint in a boys' home, he met Charlie. This book
worm of a guy was Jackson's roommate as well as a friend,
even though Jackson never wanted to admit to caring about
Charlie. He heard all about Charlie's younger brother,
Hector, and he tried to plan a new life including the three
of them together after they both got out of the boys' home.
Charlie was older and got out first. Jackson ran away from
the home a week later. He never thought that Charlie would
become a part of his life in the future.
At first, he worked as a fortune teller with a carnival
where he met a girl who would become his lifelong friend.
Her name was Abby and she was the Unicorn Girl at the
carnival. Through her parents, Jackson was given a true
place in the carnival until the day he decided to make
something more of his life.
Jackson eventually turned his unusual psychic ability to see
everything about a person simply through touching them or
something of theirs into a way of life. He had settled into
this life where he had only two friends, one of them being
his dog, Houdini, and Abby, his secretary. It was necessary
for him to wear gloves all the time, but that turned out to
be a small price to pay since he was one of the most popular
psychics in Georgia.
Yes, Jackson had his life all figured out until the day that
a man showed up on his doorstep making him an offer that he
can't refuse. Blackmailed into participating in a government
experiment, he finds out more than he ever wanted to know
about the Other Side. Before it's over, Jackson will find
his life in danger from sources he never knew existed. But
he may also find that he doesn't know everything when it
comes to the Here After. The question is whether or not
he'll live through this experience to appreciate what it all
means.
A rather fast moving plot is at the center of ALL SEEING EYE
that won't let you go until you've read the very last page.
The surprises keep coming around every corner and at the end
of nearly each page. Just when you think you've got things
figured out, you realize that you weren't even close.
Creepy, scary, and actually laugh out loud funny in places,
ALL SEEING EYE may be the perfect book in this genre. If you
want to try something a bit different, give Rob Thurman's
ALL SEEING EYE a read. You'll be talking about it long after
you've read the final page.
The New York Times bestselling author of the Cal Leandros series delivers a bold new supernatural thriller where one man’s extraordinary abilities come with an equally phenomenal cost.
Picking up a small, pink shoe from the grass forever changed young Jackson Lee’s life. Not only did its presence mean that his sister Tessa was dead—murdered and stuffed in the deep, black water of a narrow well—but the shoe itself told him so. Tessa’s death triggers an even more horrific family massacre that, combined with this new talent he neither wants nor can handle, throws Jack’s life into a tailspin. The years quickly take him from state homes to the streets to grifting in a seedy carnival, until he finally becomes the cynical All Seeing Eye, psychic-for-hire. At last, Jackson has left his troubled past behind and found a semblance of peace.
That is, until the government blackmails him. After Jackson is forced to help the military contain the aftermath of a bizarre experiment gone violently wrong, everything he knows about himself will change just as suddenly as it did with his little sister’s shoe.
And while change is constant . . . it’s never for the better.
