Book Review of The Killer on the Heath (The Cassidy Newbold, Clairvoyant Collection Book 1) by Karen J Mossman

DESCRPTION: 

A woman is dead, and another is missing. The only person who can save her is Cassie.
With no clues and time running out, her brother, Detective Newbold, desperately needs her help. He is counting on Cassie’s clairvoyant and empathic abilities to locate Chantelle.

When Chantelle’s brother, Pedro, seeks out a psychic for help, he meets and falls for Cassie. Though he wants answers, neither Cassie nor Detective Newbold can give any, which complicates their relationship. To make matters worse, his overbearing mother adds further damage with her meddling.

Meanwhile, the killer has been caught, but he refuses to talk. Now, it’s up to Cassie to read the signs and rescue her lover’s sister.

Will she find the answers in time?

 

MY REVIEW:

I love paranormal stories and adding a thriller with a clairvoyant and empathic character?  I couldn’t wait to read it. 

What I liked – After the 8th chapter the story came alive.  I was urging Cassie on as she tried locating Chantelle.  Hurry, Hurry, the poor girl might be dead.  I also loved the special ability that popped up between Cassie and her twin brother, Seb.  I can’t wait to see how that develops in the next story.  

What I didn’t like – It took 9 chapters to get into the story.  The first few weren’t bad, but they were slow.  And the relationship between Pedro and Cassie drug the pace down, a lot.  It wasn’t badly written, in fact, Karen does a great job at writing relationships.  But, this one wasn’t necessary to the plot.  In my opinion, anyway.  You may love it.  

In summary, The Killer on the Heath hit all the tropes at the end, I couldn’t put it down after the 8th chapter, and I love Cassie and Seb’s characters.  I can’t wait to read more.  I recommend it and give it 4 stars.
