Hide’n Go Seek (Psychic Visions, #2)

Kali Jordan along with her dog Shiloh have gained a reputation in the Search and Rescue (SAR) world. Part of that is Shiloh’s skills but the other part is unknown to the rest of the world. Kali’s grandmother called it sight, for Kali it was a bit different. She could sense where to look, but it was Shiloh who could tell if the person was living or dead. At least that’s what Kali thought.

The book opens with a disaster site in Mexico, where Kali and several others are searching for survivors. They find one, but as they are trying to get the child out, another aftershock hits devastating the entire area and injuring Kali. We sort of meet the bad guy in the aftermath of this event. We as readers get to know his mindset but not who.

FBI agent Grant Summers is a fan of Kali’s. He and his brother had been very active with a SAR team in Maine until their paths took them elsewhere although they both keep up their certifications. He has admired Kali from afar ever since he attended a lecture given by her years ago. He’d been new to the energy signs at that time but there was a sense of rightness between them. It’s as he’s reading an article about her and Shiloh that Stefan calls him and tells him that he will see her soon, plus she has abilities and he should also ask to see her paintings.

For Kali things changed after Mexico with regard to her ‘gift’. Everything becomes more intense, and she’s seeing ribbons of energy and really can’t refer to it as intuition. She also does some painting, and sometimes it’s her ‘gift’ that controls the brush.

Once Kali has returned home, the killer decides to up his game and involve Kali in it by placing a letter on her doorstep. This escalates even more when another letter turns up at the center. With Grant involved as well they try to understand exactly what the letters mean, but Kali and Shiloh head out to Sacramento and a mudslide. There she sees the funky energy and with Shiloh’s help and a couple of witnesses she finds another victim, not of the slide but murder.

On her return home she finds Grant waiting for her along with someone she hasn’t met, Stefan Kronos.

As Kali realizes the connection to the her painting, she becomes even more concerned she’d be considered a suspect. Her visions are ramping up too and with Stefan’s help she is discovering ways to get more information from them.

Her connection to Grant also intensifies going from a simmer to sizzle over the course of the investigation.

A page-turning read, with intrigue, suspense and surprises.

Kali Jordon is a celebrated search and rescue specialist with her trusty dog Shiloh. However, Kali has a secret – The Sight inherited from her grandmother allows her to trace the energy to find people on her own – especially if they are victims of violence (especially murder). She is able to keep this secret until a twisted killer decides to challenge her to a game of “hide and go seek” which threatens those who are closet to her. Now she has to rely on FBI Special Agent Grant Summers who has sworn to protect her (even though he believes there is more to Kali and Shiloh’s success than meets the eye. As the killer closes his net tighter and tighter around Kali and Grant there is absolutely no place to hide. Can they both keep each other alive and find something special at the same time?

This was a great mystery story with a psychic twist as a madman decided to act God and dish out death as he decided was deserved by innocent people. Through it all Kali struggled to master her psychic skills as well as handle the closeness of another person in her life. I loved the way that Grant did everything he could to be strong while also learning that a strong and feisty woman is not great at taking orders. Well written and very enjoyable I was kept guessing as to know the killer was right up to the final confrontation at the end of the story. This will definitely become addictive as you work through the various candidates and eliminate them.
