From Publishers Weekly
Florida psychic Mira Morales, her FBI agent fiancé, Wayne Sheppard, and her 14-year-old daughter, Annie, pay a visit to old friends, Ramona and Jerry Stevens, at their woodland cabin outside Asheville, N.C.
Soon after arrival, Mira opens the cabin door to a seemingly pleasant woman who introduces herself as Allie then pulls out a gun. For a stranger, Allie seems to know an awful lot about Mira and Sheppard. When Mira flees to the Stevens' barn, Allie chases her and shoots her in the thigh. Hurting Mira wasn't part of Allie's plan, but it does make it easier to abduct Mira in her Land Rover.
While Sheppard and Annie work on tracking Mira down, the story flashes back 15 years to focus on the dysfunctional, wealthy Curry family. These flashbacks are the book's biggest strength, as they present a tantalizing puzzle involving Dean Curry and his power-mad older sister, Allie, and provide a convincing motive for Allie's violent actions.

What a great read...a cracking tale! The fact that the main character in this book is psychic gives this tale a twist making it an above average thriller (in my opinion anyhow!)
The previous JE covers the basic storyline & it's difficult to say anything else without giving too much away & I really don't want to spoil it for any future readers. So all I'll say is...
The characters are really well written & believeable & as the previous JE says the "flashbacks" work really well. I throughly enjoyed this book & will look for more by this author...there are a few references to an previous event involving Mira & her daughter, & I hope that means there may be more books about this psychic.

I enjoyed the reading but I'm not fond of the psychic bits.

On its way since 30/01/09
Received today. Thanks Plum-Crazy for another great ring, and Icila for sending it to me as well as the neat post card. As usual, there are a few in front of it, but this may be in my "take the train" bag so it may be finished sooner.
This was a good-reading thriller/mystery. The little bit of psychic twists make it all the more interesting. Thanks again, Plum-crazy for sharing - I will have to look up more by this author! I have jneni's addy and will post this to her tomorrow.
Forgot about this until I got it from Wandering-B in the maiL! :D Sorry for the confusion Wandering-B! :) Thank you for sending it!!
This is such a good read! :) I managed to finish it today amidst the hectic schedule. It's the first book I read from MacGregor.
First off, I must say that this is definitely a page-turner. MacGregor knows how to grab your attention the moment you start reading. After that, the whole thing just spirals out-of-control so fast! The 'crime' happened in a flash, as it progresses you'll be dying to know what happens next to everyone. The story just grips on to your heart and you will not stop until you finish reading it!
Overall, the plot is great, the characters are lovable (except...!) and very real. I don't know much about psychics but at least in this book, MacGregor did a nice job in it - not overly exaggerating psychic powers which really make them more credible.
Thank you for introducing this book to me! I'll PM the next on the list and drop the book into the mail next week!

Book arrived, thanks. Hv forgotten about joining this ray, thinking it's a surprise. Recently have been slow in reading, will get into this as soon as I can.
Thanks amberC for the address and understanding. I'm in holiday mood right now and will send book to her only in May.
It's April Fool's Day now @12:48am - didn't think I would finish reading on this day. Interesting read about out-of-body experience and telepathy kind of stuff, once started just had to continue to know how the story ends. The story also moves very fast. I'll be able to send it off to Amber-C afterall, no need to wait till May :-D
Thanks Plum-crazy for sharing.
Thanks Plum-crazy for sharing.
Arrived safely today. It's the only bookring I have at the moment so will be next to be read.
This is a well written and suspenseful book that really pulled me into the story. There were a couple of things that were skimmed over that I would have liked explained, but overall a very enjoyable read.
Posting to foxygirlACT tomorrow.

I got through this book fairly fast. It was a good page turner. The one thing I didn't like were the references to some previous event where they time travelled. I'm all for the psychic angle, but the time travelling references put me off a bit and I think were completely unrelated to the rest of the book.
Anyway, overall, not a bad read, will post on to Tinina67 (Australia) once I have the address.

Arrived today safe and sound. On top of my TBR pile. Thanks for including me. :-)
Interesting and full of suspense, a quick read. But not one of the best I ever read. In some parts I got the impresssion that the author couldn't decide which genre this book should be. Still I enjoyed reading it.
Thanks for sharing. I will send it on asap.

Arrived safe and sound today. I have a couple of rings before it, but I will keep it moving. Thank you!
I can't get into this book. My mind has been busy for the last few days. It could be that. I have other rings calling my name, so I'm going to let this one go.
I already have the next address and it will be in the mail this weekend.
Thank you for sharing!

Arrived safe and sound in Ohio, I have a number of other rings/rays ahead of this but I'll get them on my way as soon as I can. I keep my profile updated (weekly) so you can always see how close they are to the top. Thanks top-tappser for including me and thanks skizeye9 for sending these to me.
Just finished this one, it was a pretty good thriller. I didn't really care for the ending though, it seemed so abrupt and rushed. I'll try to get this mailed out today.

The book is here! Last year when I signed up for this Bookring, I realized it was the third in a series, so I found the first two books at the library and read them quickly: Hanged Man and Black Water. Really fabuolous series! I like the psychic aspect of this series. I'm going to read this one soon and get it moving again.
Plum-crazy: where does the book go next?

Great story! I really loved the way this story came together to terrify you psychologically. Fabulous! Not sure what to do with it now.
Plum-crazy didn't want the book back so it's going on another journey.

Nabbed this from JennyC1230's ABC Bookbox. Ty for sharing with us.
I read the other journal entries + had high hopes for this one. However, when I finally started reading, I was disappointed. Ah, well. Better luck to the next reader!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Book was released on a US mailbox at the corner of Westgate and Mayfield in the Brentwood neighborhood.
I didn't pick up this book, but left it on the mailbox where I saw it. I thought this was a really fun idea, and wanted to learn about where this book had been.
