Victoria Laurie's Psychic Eye Book 1: Psychic Eye

I love paranormal books and I love books with realistic characters. There are times, yes, when I love super powers but I also love it when you find a book that has real characters with real faults and real powers, powers you could imagine having yourself in reality versus something that could only show up in a crazy alternate universe. Abby Cooper is just that. She's an amazing character, with faults, and an incredible gift that does have a price and limits. Victoria Laurie is an amazing author with an amazing series of books. I'm not going to go into the actual story, that's for all of you to check out yourselves. I will say that it was one of those books that you can't put down until you finish and then you go looking for the next book almost instantly so I'll give you a little hint at the plot. Mix a psychic who's smart enough to have nothing to do with the police, a blind date with a cop, a little too much to drink and you have a recipe for a great mystery. The male lead character Dutch is excellent portrayed, he's the typical cop, if you can't see it it isn't real until he meets Abby. They form an amazing duo as leading characters and unlike other series that leave out supporting characters, Victoria Laurie brings the supporting characters to life making the story a rich and engaging mystery. Generally, I don't read mysteries, its too easy for me to figure out the ending. I generally end up skipping to the end to figure out if I'm right and when I am I don't bother with the rest of the story. In the case of this book, I didn't have to do that because I didn't figure it out until the characters did and that is truly amazing and the best type of mystery. The book was an easy read and while there is romance in it, its not graphic which means that this book is suitable for almost any age group. Given kids these days, I wouldn't mind letting a preteen or early teen read it. However, it still keeps adults interested. Look forward to reviews of the rest of the series and Victoria Laurie's Ghost Hunter Series.
