Just like the character this book was vanilla with chocolate syrup on it. The idea and premise is interesting and the premise is okay. But by god the characters were bland.
I thought the book was okay. There was sometimes in which I thought the main character did really stupid things but over all it still left me wanted to read what happen next.
This year I've been on a cozy mystery kick. Which with the way the year has gone isn't a bad thing. They are fun and easy reads and this book isn't any different. I enjoyed how the main character's abilities worked in the plot without being overdone. I was also pleasantly surprised by the ending. I'm always afraid of books in this genre being too predictable. This book didn't land in the too predictable category and I'm so glad.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I was thrilled with it.
Sure, it's a light read but it was a good storyline, had some interesting insight into the world of true, hard working psychics and it was a thriller to boot.
I highly recommend it and I'm going back in for the second one.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun little mystery. The narration was well done. I look forward to more books in this series.
Abby Cooper is a psychic intuitive. She can read your aura and make predictions about your future. One of her clients is murdered and the police think she was involved when they find her business card. Then her gardener is killed. People around her keep getting killed. Abby is drawn to hunky policeman Dutch Rivers, who she meets on a date set up by Hearts2heart, a singled website. When Abby finds out he is policeman, she is outraged because she knows policeman are quite skeptical about psychics, never mind the fact Abby is the real deal. Cute and enjoyable, I will be reading more of the series.
Extremely addictive - I stayed up all night reading, my mom borrowed it and stayed up all night reading, and then my sister stayed up all night reading it and bought the rest of the series in the morning. Quick, fun, no nutritional value whatsoever: literary crack.

Abby Cooper is a professional psychic, which would automatically lead one to think “well, wouldn’t she just know who did it” from the start. But Abby has to be around a person or in the presence of something belonging to that person, so the mystery part of the story works. It’s a light-hearted, quick and easy read.
I got this book in a book swap. It started out really, really cliche, and I figured I could deal with it. The writing was sub-par and the story was nothing special (her treatment of this psychic investigator was really weird and just sorta bizarre - and not in a good way). I guess it might be an interesting book, if I was so used to the subtlety of surreal fiction (like The Thirteenth Tale, which isn't fantasy per se), or the awesomeness of Neverwhere. But anyway, I tried to read all of it. But then her editor failed and one thing I really can't stand is improper mechanics in a book... so I didn't finish it. I can predict the ending anyway, and I'm not even the psychic.
