Psychic and financial planner Juliana Westwood returns to
her home in San Jose after disappearing from it twelve
years
ago. She has grown up a lot since she was eighteen and
madly in
love with handsome young Alex MacKenzie. They had plans
following high school graduation but those plans were not
meant to be. Juliana had a vision that she misinterpreted
just before prom that resulted in terrible tragedy and she
had not been able to live with herself. However, that is
not
the total reason she vanished all of that time.
Alex MacKenzie is now a homicide police detective in San
Jose and is appropriately stunned when Juliana walks into
the police station as if returning from the dead. He is
still filled with anger, rage, and hurt from her
abandonment
twelve years earlier. Something else he is also filled
with is
the love that he never stopped feeling for her. He is
forced
to deal with her because she has come in to report an
impending kidnapping. Little does he know that the
kidnapping will involve his own niece and that he will
need
all of the help Juliana can give.
In the midst of searching for the kidnapper, Juliana and
Alex are forced to confront long repressed emotions that
might just be too much to bear.
CHASING SHADOWS drew me in from the very first page and I
relished every word until the end of the book. Being a
Tarot
reader myself, I have a host of friends who possess
various
psychic abilities. Something that greatly impressed me
about CHASING SHADOWS is the accuracy depicted by
Juliana's
dreams, visions and various other talents. Many times,
plots
of this sort can become quite confusing and even silly due
to the many inaccuracies regarding how psychics work. Erin
Richards is either somewhat psychic herself or she did her
research because her descriptions are quite dead on.
I was also quite thrilled to discover that CHASING SHADOWS
is the first in a series of books centering on psychic
justice. I cannot wait for Book two in this series!
Equally
suspenseful and sweet, CHASING SHADOWS is a book that is
well worth your time. You will be caught up in the story
instantly and will not want to stop reading until the
exciting and jaw dropping conclusion. I promise!
