Vicki Boyd, a remote viewer, suffers from nightmares and doubts following a CIA mission. Trying to leave the agency, she accepts a position helping an elderly disabled woman, Laurel Maguire, as a caretaker for her home and tropical fish business.

There, she meets attractive Dylan, Laurel's nephew. Her sensitivity to the spiritual tells her that something is wrong in Laurel's house, and her government boss won't let her take her psychic talents away from the CIA.

The combinations of a CIA mission, a ghostly mysterious presence, an alligator swamp, an Afghan village, and the romance with Dylan create a thrilling adventure with many twists.

Terrell's narrative about how Viki's Key got its name is touching. Her writing is terrific. She aptly switches realize that Vicki is a remote viewer) to the budding friendship/romance with Dylan. The comic/horrific circumstances around crabby Aunt Laurel add mystery and humor. Who wouldn't want a handsome, cheerful Irishman in the kitchen fixing her breakfast?

I didn't expect to enjoy Viki's Key tale so much. If you like romance, intrigue, and a touch of the otherworld, you'll be surprised at how entranced you will be with Viki's Key.
