Paranormal Mystery
From Goodreads:
FORESEE
NO EVIL.
Freelancing
for the Atlanta PD isn’t exactly a secure career; my job’s been on the line
almost as much as my life. But it’s a paycheck, and it keeps me from falling
back into the drug habit. Plus, things are looking up with my
sometimes-partner, Cherabino, even if she is still simmering over the
telepathic Link I created by accident.
When my
ex, Kara, shows up begging for my help, I find myself heading to the last place
I ever expected to set foot in again—Guild headquarters—to investigate the
death of her uncle. Joining that group was a bad idea the first time. Going
back when I’m unwanted is downright dangerous.
Luckily, the Guild needs me more than
they’re willing to admit. Kara’s uncle was acting strange before he died—crazy
strange. In fact, his madness seems to be slowly spreading through the Guild.
And when an army of powerful telepaths loses their marbles, suddenly it’s a
game of life or death.
I have been looking forward to Book
3 in the Mindspace Investigation series.
After reading it I came away with mixed feelings. Before I go further I do want to say
that this is not a series you just drop into. Go back to the beginning and start with book one, Clean.
On the plus side Marked continued
with the world building started in the first two books. There is more background about the Tech
Wars and the Guild. Along with the
world building the characters continue to be fleshed out. Finally Adam and Cherabino start to
work on their attraction, just working – nothing resolved.
On the minus side the main premise
for Marked just does not make sense.
Why on earth would Adam ever go back to help the Guild. They used him to test a drug that was
very addictive and threw him out instead of helping him when that experiment
left him an addicted. I have never
liked the Guild and I really had trouble believing he would every willing walk
back into a situation that gave them any power over him. They have not changed - they do not treat him well this time either.
Having said all of that after I got
over how stupid I though Adam was the plot was interesting. Like Adam I would think I knew what was
going on only to be fooled again and again. I do hope the next book leaves the Guild way, way in the
background. I like Adam and did
not enjoy seeing him back in the power of the Guild.
