Someone is stalking women and murdering them in Key West.
Psychics Levi Wolfe and Trudy Tucker join forces to help identify the murderer and stop him. Levi can channel the deceased victims and Trudy can tap into the mind of the killer. As a psychic detective team, they’re formidable. As lovers, they discover that they’re insatiable.
As they grow closer, Trudy wonders if Levi will ever completely trust her and let her know his heart. Levi struggles with his new, tender feelings toward Trudy and worries that she might be in over her head with him and with the case they’re working on.
Because if Trudy can see through the killer’s eyes, can the killer see her?

I love books that feature psychics, so when I read a review on the latest of the books in this series, I decided to start with the first one. And I am extremely glad I took the plunge into these books.
Trudy Tucker is an extremely talented psychic who is able to go into the minds of criminals, and see through their eyes the crimes they commit-murders, kidnapping, that kind of thing. It’s hard on her emotionally, but she still has started consulting with police departments and private individuals. Her mentor and friend is Quintara, a psychic of sorts-not near as talented as Trudy, but she does run classes to teach psychics, and has a successful career as a writer in the psychic community. When Quintera reaches out to Trudy to come to Florida to help with a serial killer case, Trudy goes. Also on the case is ultra famous psychic, Levi Wolfe, someone that Trudy is completely attracted to, even though he is a known womanizer. What she doesn’t know is that the attraction is mutual.
The serial killer is targeting women in the Key West area, so Trudy drives her RV from Oklahoma to a rundown RV park near Key West. She pretty much immediately sees the ghost of the wife of the owner, Ethel-a new talent. Ethel is trying to tell her something, but Trudy can’t hear her. This continues to happen throughout the read. Once Trudy and Levi start working together, the investigation ramps up. Also part of the action is police detective, Tom Sinclair, the detective on the the case. And that’s all I am going to say about the actual story.
Levi’s character was probably my favorite part of the read. He’s devastatingly handsome, rich-as in mega rich-and he has had a horrible life growing up. He was the most complex character of this read, and I think there is way more to find out about him in future books. I liked Trudy as well, she is still coming into many of her talents and actually is probably more talented than Levi and Quintara combined. She leads a simple life, with little money,and has a little dog named, Mouse. I mention the dog because at times Trudy is gone all day in the Florida heat, leaving the dog in the RV. No mention of air conditioning, only about how decrepit the RV is, so it bothered me. Just a minor plot hole, but it kept happening, so I noticed. Not to mention, not taking the dog outside regularly! Yes, I am an animal person. Can’t help it.
This story is full of paranormal suspense, but what is more important in this story is the romance between Trudy and Levi.The romance is nicely drawn by the author, and is hot with extremely vivid sensual scenes, to say the least. It wasn’t insta-love as the two has known each other for awhile; this is just the first time they have spent any real time together. Levi, and all his residual hangups, and his previous refusal to have a monogamous relationship, are all tested in this installment, much to Trudy’s and this readers delight.
Good read for adult paranormal romance readers!

I’m Lorna and I live in Maryland. Since retiring, I spend my time mostly reading and reviewing books. My favorite reads are Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, and Young Adult. I read a lot of indie books in addition to traditionally published books. Favorite paranormal creature? Vampires, but I am really liking werewolves more everyday.
Through His Eyes sounds really good, Lorna. I think I need this series in my life 🙂 A story that includes both romance and suspense is usually the best from both worlds, and I think I would enjoy Trudy.
Great review! Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading.

I’m glad you think you’ll read my Mind’s Eye series. I really think you’ll like it. I loved writing them!
By the way, everyone, Trudy’s RV does have air-conditioning. It’s not a wreck or anything. It’s really a nice RV! It has a living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and dining area. I take my little dogs with me when I travel in an RV and they stay in the air-conditioned home-on-wheels while I’m doing the tourist thing. I place a “pee-pee pad” by the front door in case they need to “go” while I’m away (but they usually don’t).
Seriously hard commenting today, dunno why, it would not let me just click

I am not sure what you are clicking? But I do see your comment 🙂
I read the first book when it released and loved it. Trudy and Levi are definite hits with me too. Now I just need to squeeze in the subsequent releases.

I started the second one as soon as I finished this one, then had to stop and read two other books I needed for reviews-so I am 28 percent in and really wanting to get back to it! I am glad you liked it as well 🙂
Lorna; be sure to let me know what you think of #2 and #3. I really respect your opinion and want to know. And check out that reply I posted about the dog and air-conditioned RVs. Not to worry! You plug in the RV to electricity and it is air-conditioned and heated. 🙂 I do it all the time and my dogs love to travel with me. Mouse is actually a dog I had several years ago. I loved her so much! I have another gray chihuahua now named Mister Darcy.
Oh, I’m so glad you’ve already read the first one. I hope you posted a review of it on Amazon! And I hope you get around to reading THROUGH HIS TOUCH and THROUGH HIS HEART. 🙂
Oh man, having that ability can be terrifying, isn’t it? Imagine seeing all the horrors the victims go through and not being able to do anything about it right at that moment! *shudders* I do love a good psychic read once in a while, but I scare easily at times.
Thanks for sharing, hun!

I know-I sure wouldn’t want the ability! But I usually do enjoy books about psychics as long as it has a good mystery and romance along with it 🙂
Don’t be scared! Go ahead and read them. There is a love story throughout, as well! 🙂
I hope you are able to find the courage to read them! You can skip the scary parts. 😉
Levi does sound pretty hot and great to hear about
Yes, Levi was really complex, and it didn’t hurt that he was handsome and rich-and totally crazy about Trudy 🙂 I enjoyed both of their characters.

Darlin’, Levi IS Hot!!!! You really should read the series and fall head over heels for him. 🙂
Yay for no insta-love! This is a really great review Lorna. I would read this book, but I recently discovered that books involving being in other people’s minds and things like that freak me out. I didn’t think that I had a genre weakness, I was wrong. Mind Games by Carolyn Crane nearly killed me!
Hmm, I might just have to check out Mind Games 🙂 Just kidding with you, I am sorry it freaked you out! And Thanks!

I feel like I’ve seen this book before, Lorna…I was hoping I’d already one-clicked it. 😉 Alas, I hadn’t. But I put it on my wishlist because I really, really like the sound of it. I like the psychic angle a lot. And I like that they’re using their psychic abilities to solve crimes. I also want to see the romance heat up! *ha* Yeah, I’ll definitely be checking out this one. 🙂
Bookworm Brandee recently posted…#COYER Review ~ Spin ~ CD Reiss
Oh the romance is definitely hot! Back when it first came out, I saw reviews on it all over the place so that’s probably when you saw it. I should have bought it back then. I hope you like it 🙂
Lorna recently posted…Review: Through His Eyes by Deborah Camp (@Mollykatie112, @AuthorDebCamp)
Yeah! Do me a BIG favor and read the first one. I bet you can’t read just one. 😉 I’ll keep my fingers crossed…..
This does sound good, glad you liked it so much!
kindlemom1 recently posted…Review: The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
I really did! I wanted to tell you also, that I started following you by email so I can see your reviews faster. I am probably going to be cleaning out the ones I follow on Bloglovin that I get emails from so if you see that, that’s what is happening!

It is good, if I do say so myself. Trust that Lorna would never steer you wrong and read it for yourself. 🙂
Keep checking on Amazon. I’m going to put Through His Eyes on a special sale later this month. Maybe even FREE for Kindles. I would love to have you read it and leave a review on Amazon.
Thank you for featuring my book on your wonderful blog! I’m honored.
You’re welcome, I enjoyed the read 🙂

This makes me happy, because I enjoy this series and I think the books only get stronger.

Yes, and I do think it was your review of this book I read when it came out in the beginning. And also your review of the latest that made me start the series now. I have already started the second one. Thanks!
Lorna recently posted…Early Audiobook Review: Deceptions by Kelley Armstrong (@KelleyArmstrong, @PenguinAudio, @mozhanistan)
Oooh… Lorna! This sounds interesting! I like this ability Trudy has, and the thrill of tracking down a murderer. You have me very intrigued by Levi, I want to know more!!
