Romance Paranormal

Caitlyn Deveraux's brother, Gage a member of a special ops group known as Team Indigo, is killed in Iraq. As his next of kin she receives his possessions. Inside is a necklace that she had never seen before and assumes it was something he picked up for her. Instead it turns out to be an amulet that is even more powerful than SUPERSTITION leads everyone to believe.

Jacob Littlejohn, also a member of Team Indigo, is now prepared to retrieve the amulet and keep Cate safe. He couldn't protect his brother in arms so he will not fail to protect his beloved sister. Even if he has to go against everything he has ever believed in.

Before long the college librarian, and her friends, are drawn into a world that turns theirs upside down. She finds there really is magic in the world, strange powers she never knew she had and government conspiracies. She is also thrilled at being able to work side by side with those her brother loved.

SUPERSITION is a fast paced intriguingly different paranormal. The action is nonstop with many touches of Native American lore. Though I truly enjoyed this book I did find a few flaws that I believe would have been fixed had it been a longer book. To my thinking the storyline was somewhat chaotic at times with just too many people involved for example you have the Indigo team (four of them not including Jacob); her three friends, her ex-boyfriend, her grandmother, an F.B.I agent, one bad guy from her tribe, others from the tribe helping, a number of soldiers that have "speaking parts", and the general, all in less than 200 pages. If it had been longer I do believe that as well written as this book is that there would be more depth to the characters and hopefully a lot more romance. As it is I did find the magic, shapeshifting and supernatural powers a very good tactic for a team fighting evil. I do hope that author Tori Scott has plans for another Team Indigo book, because she has laid down an interesting foundation for future evil fighting.

SUMMARY

When Caitlyn Deveraux's brother Gage is killed in Iraq, she receives a necklace as part of his personal effects that she thinks is a trinket he'd purchased for her. When she scatters his ashes according his exact instructions and repeats the words he'd written, she accidentally inhales some of the ashes. From that moment on, her life as a quiet librarian is turned upside down.

Jacob Littlejohn was not only Gage Deveraux's best friend, he was his team mate at Team Indigo. He should have been there to protect Gage, but he wasn't. Now he's determined to protect Caitlyn from the men who are after the necklace. It's no trinket, but rather a powerful amulet that could have devastating consequences if it fell into the wrong hands.

Caitlyn doesn't know how to handle the new powers she's received, so she heads back to her village, to her grandmother, to try to understand what's happening to her. In doing so, she brings danger to her people and gets involved in Team Indigo's current mission--the same mission that got her brother killed. She enlists the aid of her people and her three best friends, and together with Jacob and Team Indigo, they set out to stop a power-hungry General.
