Gina Fegaris at birth, now Gia Moon, has a gift of sorts
that is both unconditional and unexplainable even for the
most unbiased observer. She is a psychic who paints pictures
leading police to crime scenes. Not knowing how her brush
does it, she fully or maybe not so fully embraces the talent
she has been given. Her concern, though, is for her daughter
coming of age also exhibiting the same metaphysical flair.
She would help her transition into the woman she could be,
but Stella so named for her grandmother, keeps shutting her
out. That could prove to be dangerous for both Fegaris women
and the ones they love.
FBI agent working for the National Institute for
Strategic Artifacts, Carin Barnes, has been involved in the
paranormal world for personal reasons. She has an autistic
brother and research in the metaphysical science arena has
been her only hope of reaching him. Housed in the Institute
run by Gia's father, Carin's brother is not making the
strides she had hoped. Carin will do anything to help her
brother -- beg, borrow or even steal.
Seven has been under Gia's spell more than once, but she
betrayed him the first time he worked with her on an
investigation. Reuniting for this new case of children being
murdered with ancient relic stones in their hands, Seven and
Gia have got to put their feelings aside in order to catch a
cold and calculating murderer who is playing with more than
a full deck right under their own noses.
Add a few more beguiling characters, a plot that is fast
paced, and you have got the makings of a best seller.
There is no way to fully give this book its credit
due in a short review. I find most paranormal literature a
bit on the ridiculous side; too fake to be believable. Not
Ms. Cruise's DARK MATTER. She has intellectually established
a genre that far exceeds the boundaries of most paranormal
writings. It is both intriguing and plausible. Obviously
based on fantastic research, this is a great read. She has
won me over! I can't wait until the next novel in this
fantastic series.
There are those among us whose mental capacity is so
evolved that they are able to tap into abilities that are
beyond this world. Often diagnosed as autistic, these
medical marvels have led quiet lives, ignored by science.
Until now.
One by one, these special "Indigo
children" are disappearing and turning up dead. Now a boy
handcuffed in a basement awaits his turn while two
predators fulfill a mission for a madman.
Caring for her
own autistic brother, FBI agent Carin Barnes is driven to
find the missing boy and hunt down his abductors—psychic
twins Adam and Evie. At the command of their father, the
pair are collecting children for torturous experiments he
believes will lead to the evolution of the human
race.
But in order to succeed, they need one powerful
element...something that Carin and her brother possess…
matter that elevates some minds to the highest levels of
intelligence—and drags others to the deepest pits of hell.
