Pros: Fun romp around the Caribbean; heartwarming and funny secondary characters.
Cons: Villain at times feels like a carbon copy of the villain of the previous book.
Rating: 4 out of 5

Alicia Davidson always thought that her scar and memory loss were the results of a childhood accident, but after the death of her father she discovers that she was found washed up on the beach after a vicious pirate attack. After she reads a note that her father left her, she finds out that she had a sister who may still be alive. Leaving behind the town that she has known all of her life, she sets out in search of the man that her father said will help her find the sister that she lost so long ago. Blake Merritt is less than thrilled to meet her; he has his own ghosts from the past. Yet even as the two begin to come to terms with themselves and their growing attraction for each other, there is another danger that has followed Alicia from Port Royal.
. As it so happens, Rene, my co-reviewer, had a copy and was willing to loan it to me. While the first book has a completely different main character and focus, what’s the same is the fascinating look at a world on the brink of destruction.
(written under her “Jessica Bird” pseudonym) had a suspense/mystery serial killer angle to it, and I just couldn’t resist that. (Sorry, Rene—you’re welcome to read it too if you’d like! Of course when you see how many books I have waiting for you, you might not want another one…)
, the first book in her new “Extrasensory Agents” series, was truly enjoyable. I think my recent spate of reading romantic suspense combined with that little bit of bias led me to wonder at first whether I’d end up enjoying Cold Sight as much as her “Black CATs” series, but I needn’t have worried—I read the entire book yesterday, and during the latter half I couldn’t put it down!
