Okay, Ms.Lashell Collins, you got me hook, line and sinker. I am a SUCKER for crime, suspense and you added a little paranormal. Bravissimo! Can I request a tv syndicate to please just make this into a series? I could really use that right now. Heck, tv could really use that right now.
Voices & Visions is written about a homicide detective that has “visions”. Uncontrolled “visions” which makes things a little interesting. I mean really, read my first paragraph, this is a keeper. And then Ms. Lashell Cole makes this homicide detective freaking H. O. T. So now you are wishing this said hot cop misdial and you picked up the phone and whamo you are watching 12 Angry Men together.
There are so many underlying stories in this book. THANK GOODNESS this is book 1 of the series! Because you cannot leave us with that ending. I am in the palm of your hand right now. Be nice. See what I am saying…. TV series.
The first date was a little awkward but I guess it kind of would be but I just felt a little turned off when they first met face to face.
This is not my normal trope but I am so glad I picked this book up. I see this series blowing up.
Wow, what an interesting story. It had everything from action to torment to surprises. I couldn’t put it down once started. It may be a detective book but it had also romance and mystery.
I loved Isaac and Sidney together, it may of started off as wrong number. But they were thrown together and it was like destiny. I loved how they both helped each other.
Lashell Collins did amazing job on this book.
Voices & Visions by Lashell Collins is a wonderful story that I have loved reading. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series and I can not wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about romantic suspense, contemporary and paranormal romance.

I love reading about first love. How Isaac and Sidney came to know each other. A simple wrong number turned into so much more. But Isaac is really shy almost boyish when it comes to relationships. Yes he has to be tough as a cop but even that causes him pain. Being psychic and not being able to touch because you might get a vision has cause him ridicule all his life but meeting Sidney changes that.
Sidney has her own demons and now witnessing a crime is a whole new set of problems. Isaac to the rescue. He wants to protect her from her nightmares and see where their relationship could go.
Not only do we get a love story but also suspense. It was well worth the read. I did leave a cliffhanger but that is another storyline in the next great book.

Isaac & Sidney
Isaac is a good, experienced, detective with a rep for being weird. Nothing new, he’s dealt with the stigma since he was a kid. He’s got what his brother calls super-powers. He calls it a curse. Living life without touching others? Not easy. Still, his visions sometimes are an asset in his job.
Sidney has made a life for herself. She lives on the DL having little contact with others, works from home. But she’s free from the nightmare she lived in before escaping. Until…a wrong turn. A bad part of town…witnessing the unbelievable.
A wrong number turns out right when these two lonely people begin a conversation that leads to more. It is a touching story with action, intrigue, interesting characters, bad guys. It is easy to care about these two people who seem to have so little in common but find they have so much more.
The author has given the reader wonderful characters, a great story and a hankering for more.
Reviewed for Words Turn Me On
I was familiar with the author from her rockstar romances, which I adore, but thrillers are my first literary love, so I didn’t hesitate for even a moment to devour this one.
Who knew a wrong number could end up so very right? When police detective Isaac dials the wrong number, the woman he reaches seems to soothe a place in his soul he didn’t think could be reached. He has a reputation at work, and even with his family, for being the weird one. The reasons for this will be revealed as the story spins on – I am so glad that this is but the first book in the series because I definitely want to know more!
Anyway, the plot spins …. when he finds out his wrong number mystery woman is also attached to the case he is working on the story really takes flight and doesn’t stop! The pacing is perfect for keeping you on the edge of your seat, and is wonderfully complex and, well, thrilling, while weaving a lovely dose of romance seamlessly. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Isaac – he’s got such a sweet side (which really shines in his interaction with a homeless informant) and such a broken side that will continue to make your heart ache long after you’ve finally slept (because this is one of those books you simply won’t be able to put down before you finish it….)
My highest recommendations!
Completely Captivating Read!!
Sidney is running from a dangerous ex. One wrong turn in her car has her witnessing a drug deal gone bad and murder. Yikes!
Isaac is a detective. He has an uncanny ability to read people and situations. If he touches someone, he gets a view into their past. Uncomfortable for everyone. A surprising wrong number ends up with two lonely people making a connection. Can they connect in real life, and will the bad guys catch up to Sidney?
Simply brilliant. Could not put this down. I can’t wait for more!
This was a great Romantic Suspense. I loved the idea of a detective who has instincts and gifts getting romantically involved with a total stranger, who happens to be more than he originally understands. Ike’s backstory is painful, he’s really a tortured soul who deserves to be loved. Sidney also has a past that haunts her and it felt very natural that she would gravitate to the attentive Ike.
From the very first page Voices & Visions hooked me and refused to let me go. Lashell Collins is the queen of heart-pounding action and soul-soothing romance. I couldn’t get enough of the world she created. I had a book hangover for days.
Detective Issac Taylor is a tortured man. He’s lived with a ‘monster’ all of his life. His monster being a powerful psychic ability that makes it hard to feel normal in a world that doesn’t always extend a hand to ‘different.’ Sidney is as real as real can be, humanly flawed but with a strong soul, and she has her own monster to battle. When Issac and Sidney meet, it’s by happenstance, and what evolves from there is an epic friendship and romance. Even though Issac and Sidney come from two different worlds, battling different demons, they both have one powerful thing in common: the need to hide. What they find in each other is a safe place, even if it feels like the entire world is after them.
It takes a gifted author to make the unbelievable probable— Lashell Collins is a gifted author. For a few precious hours, I found myself totally engrossed in the story, feeling every emotion Issac and Sidney did. Voices & Visions is a journey, and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.
My only consolation while waiting for the next book is knowing someday there will be more books in this series to devour whenever I want. Rereads are guaranteed.
What a riveting page-turner this is! “Voices & Visions“ is the first book in the brand new ‘Touched’ series. I was hooked from the start & on the edge of my seat! I was so blown away that it brought out the voracious reader in me & I didn’t want to stop!… With a fresh new PNR storyline, romance & suspense, with fantastic characters, amazing attention-to-detail & plenty of surprises to keep readers guessing, turning pages like crazy & then left craving more! … Even tho I always volunteer to read this author’s books, it is without any outside influences, so I can honestly recommend this to adult fans of fiction & now I can’t wait for more, but I certainly will 😉
