Nicole Blake is a quiet girl, the type of person who is seldom noticed by anyone, until one day she discovers she has the unique ability to see images move on photographs. At first, she uses her ability to entertain friends at parties and work. Meanwhile, the police are unable to uncover a single clue in a series of unsolved murders. Seasoned detective Paul Hammond learns of Nicole’s ability and … and enlists her help.
Carl Kadner, a rookie reporter with the local paper, takes it upon himself to investigate the murders as well. As he learns what it takes to be the kind of reporter he wants to be, Carl puts himself in danger for the sake of the story. What will it take to bring all of these people together to find the real reason people continue to disappear?

I enjoyed this book.
Great read! Didn’t want to put it down!
Good book
Love the premise and build up of Nicole’s powers. Love justice in the end.
Although I enjoyed the ‘concept’ behind the story I wish the author had expanded on the main characters ability. I also did not care for ending; it was just done/over. Perhaps there’s going to be a continuation?
A great original idea and interesting characters. I do think the author went over the top with the concepts.
Very poorly edited. I kept reading as the story was interesting, but it drove me nuts to read a book that had so many grammatical errors. I would not ever read another if his books unless he finds someone to edit his writing.
I really enjoyed this book It was very entertaining
I am not much for writing reviews or going into breaking down the characters. But what I will say, if you have a weak tummy and don’t like gore, this is not the book to read. Several times, I thought about not finishing it but I kept picking it up. I do know that I never want to have a autopsy.
Truly enjoyed the multi-dimensional story and characters. This was a lively page turner with a very original story line. My compliments to how neatly the author wrapped up the ending – was pleased and not left hanging. I would not hesitate to pick up another book by this author.
All the pros above compensated for the cons – poor editing (extra words and several wrong homonyms), some better show vs tell sentences.
The storyline was interesting, but the grammatical structure was odd. Odd enough to distract from the story. The characters were a bit confusing.
To be fair is not my type of book so the evaluation reflected my preference for other type of plot and character dynamics. I found it too unrealistic and the description of the murders grotesque. It does not mean it does not happen in real life but how the crimes are solved and the supernatural way to enter another person’s mind is too disturbing . I also disliked the very vulgar language and like another reviewer stated it did not add to the character’s descriptions and was totally unnecessary . I recommend it if another reader likes that type of plot and is possible that another person may experience different reactions when reading this book. To each its own. .
After I got over the brutal murder, I couldn’t help but laugh at Paul as he faces his day. He is definitely not a morning person and I can relate. Neither am I. I like that he wears sneakers with his suits. Makes sense to me. I laugh along with his police partners as they poke fun at him, like only true friends can do.
Nicole is just hanging out with her best friend, while the power is out due to a snowstorm, when her gift comes to light.
HE is pure evil. How does he choose his victims? I’ll leave that up to you to find out, but it is not what your run of the mill serial killer would he. He is brutal, savage. He is a real sicko.
Nicole’s ability is developing and she has no idea how intense it will get. She can feel the victim’s pain, live through their death. .I know she will get involved in the investigation and now I know how and why.
When Paul and Nicole meet, something zaps between them. Big surprise, right? (said sarcastically) I don’t mind knowing some of the story beforehand,, just as long as the author throws in a surprise or two. I love the scene where Nicole is getting dressed for their date. Simone is helping her and she does need the help. I love her BFF.
It’s easy to see how Carl, the reporter becomes involved. Investigating is not a nine to five, sit at your desk job. He goes out in the field. He wants to be a REAL reporter. He even dresses the part in a thrift store suit that makes me think of the film noir PI’s.
I love the dark, black as night thrillers and this qualifies. The murders are gruesome, grisly, overkill, mutilations beyond your imagination. Then…comes the autopsy description that takes it to another level of upchucking ugliness. The more grossness Perry Prete feeds me, the hungrier I get. BUT, I do like fun and smiles with my murder mysteries and he does supply that too, along with dialogue and easy banter between the characters.
Oh man, the hospital scene. Caught me by surprise, but Nicole is not afraid and I love it. NOW IT’S INTENSE…my thoughts run riot, I want to scream and yell, my heart beats a little faster, my eyes devour the words faster, the pace of the novel picks up, the suspense mounting.
The ending…..FANTASTIC.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Mind’s Eye by Perry Prete

Very good, really enjoyed.
Great story teller.
I didn’t like this book. Plot was not logical, and I ended up not finishing reading it because I didn’t care what happened to the characters in it.
Holy cow!!!! Amazing story that kept me on my toes and held me in its grips right to the very end. Very fat fetched….I can only hope and pray anyway…..great job!!!!
terrible.
didnt read all of it
I enjoyed the book but the editing needs quite a bit of work.
