ONE WEEK TO LIVE by Joan Beth Erickson is going to keep you on the edge of your seat and flipping the pages, late into the night. Do not start this book if you have something to do like an appointment or feeding your kids or something like that.......you won't get it done because you will not be able to put this book down! Okay you have been warned!

Angie Martin has a gift. She sees things, visions. After she helps the police with a kidnapping case and the boy dies, she vows never to trust her visions again. But then a kidnapper takes a child that is very close to her heart and she knows she has to help. Enter Brian Murphy. He is a reporter who Angie met on the last kidnapping case and in a moment of weakness, Angie and Brian started a relationship. But he blew it by writing a story about Angie that was published in the paper. Angie told him not to use her name, she was hiding from a very mean ex husband and did not want him to know where she is. Brian publishes her name anyway, and her life is turned upside down. Now she has to worry about her ex finding her as well as taking garbage from people because they boy died despite her help. Brian will have to earn Angie's trust back if they are even going to be just friends. The kidnapper starts to send clues to both Angie and Brian and she knows she has no choice but to work with Brian again. Get ready for fireworks!

One of the FBI agents working the new case, is the same agent from the last case. Angie can't understand the hatred that Brian and Special Agent Dunning have towards each other. Angie learns that during another case, Dunning and Brian's wife got together and after the case, Brian files for divorce. Dunning and Brian continue to butt heads and it almost gets in the way of the kidnapping case. While all of this is going on, Angie is trying to face her fears and clear her mind so she can help find that beautiful little child named Polly. Her ex shows up at one point and believes he still has rights to her. Now she is really freaking out and turns to Brian for help and safety.

I loved ONE WEEK TO LIVE and the way it took off with mystery and suspense right away. I couldn't stop turning the pages and I was instantly caught up in Brian and Angie's lives and their troubles. This is a quick read and really holds your attention and keeps you guessing. I had no idea how it was going to end or who the kidnapper was until the very end. I can't wait to read more by Joan Beth Erickson.
