Wonderfully Entertaining Story!

This is a book that starts off kind if abstract but then is molded into a wonderfully entertaining story. At first I was confused on what was happening to this poor woman. Then we are slowly given answers that are mind altering to say the least. I really thought this woman was going out of her head! The rest of the story is filled with action, suspense and drama. I loved how closely I had to listen to make sure I didn’t miss anything. The characters enthralled me and made me wish more than once if this was a possible scenario.

I did listen to this on audio. Samantha Cook reads most of the story and does very well. Jason Clarke does a wonderful job on his portions too.

Romance and suspense!

Psychic stories? Sign me up. This is a paranormal sub-genre that I enjoy and couldn't wait to get my earbuds in to hear! This fast paced story takes us on a journey of suspense and mystery with a bit of romance thrown in. Grace wakes up and realizes she has no recollection of her last eight months. Hunted by an enemy she cannot remember, she takes hold of David, the only one she feels she can trust. David is special to her, and he has done everything he can to keep her safe, but will she ever remember him? And will she unlock the psychic abilities she have if she does remember? Thrilling excitement builds as the story moves on and what we learn is scary! Grace is amazingly strong, and I love that she is forceful in her need to know her past. David, once we know his intentions is the one we all want to have in our lives. Their is definite chemistry between the two. And Sean is a fantastic character! Love his banter. Add in the lies, deception, surprises and just incredible abilities and I was hooked. I can't wait to see where Anna Durand takes us next in this story.

Narration for this was key, and told mostly in Grace's point of view, the choice of Samantha Cook was fantastic. She is a favorite of mine, and she understands her characters and gives them to us as if we are watching them. Jason Clarke gives a few appearances as David, and he keys into the emotions and strength that Grace needs with his amazing voice. He too is extremely versatile, and I love how he includes the perfect nuances to make David real. This is casting at it's best.

Amazing Paranormal Romance!

This is the first book in The Psychic Crossroads Series, a Paranormal Romance. The story is well written and captivating. The storyline is fast paced, and action packed, filled with mystery, lies, secrets, twists and turns, and romance. There is a lot going on in this installment. The world building is gripping, intricate, and entertaining. The characters are well developed and interesting. Grace is a fantastic character, strong, and determined. The supporting characters are amazing! I liked David and Sean. Samantha Cook did an amazing job as Grace, and she did the reading with a perfect and entertaining pace! The story is told for the most part from Grace’s POV, so Jason Clarke did only a small part of this narration, but his presence is undeniably appreciated. He is perfect as David. I love their voices together. The audio production is perfect, and very pleasant to listen to. This is a great team author/narrators. This story definitely kept my attention, and I am looking forward to listening to Intuition, the next book in the Series. If you like Paranormal Romance with characters gifted with special abilities, this Series is for you. I highly recommend it.
