Excerpt: Chapter 1
"Lexia Torrance is a young woman with the gift of second sight. Her ability allows the Phoenix Police Department to solve crimes based on the gift of touch. Her latest case leads her to the body of a local man left with the killers' calling card—an emblem burned on the victim's chest in the shape of a sun. She soon finds herself facing five men looking for the necklace with the same emblem…and they are determined to find her as well...
Galen Cortes knows the immense ability deep inside Lexia as well as her destiny to take the throne as Skinwalker Chieftess to the southwest tribe. As a guard of the tribe, Galen has sworn to protect Lexia and teach her the truth about her powers. Despite what his heart feels, he knows a guard isn’t supposed to get too close to a betrothed Chieftess. But his fiery passion may soon override his rational thought.
With a murderous Lycan tribe on their tail and only a few hours to spare once Lexia learns her birthright, Galen will only have a day to teach her what those before her learned in a lifetime. Before their time is over, passion will erupt between the guard and his ruler, a fateful battle will dawn between two tribes and a new Chieftess will arise within the nocturnal hours…" ~Goodreads
The premise for this book is very interesting, the plot sound like a very good addition to the paranormal genre.
The heroine with paranormal gifts unaware of her destiny among the Lycan, skinwalkers, werewolves. An evil prince hunting her for power and a guardian trying to keep her safe while revealing what and who she really is. Sounds interesting doesn’t it? I sure though so!
But it fell flat with me, Lexia was tough, too tough. She came out cautious at first then suddenly she’s on the crime scene like she’s a seasoned detective when in reality she’s a medium consultant. And then there is the guns fights and the bad girl posturing that just clashes with her inner world that the reader first gets. I get that it’s supposed to be fast pace and an adventure but it’s not believable.
I did a lot of skipping in this book, waiting to get to a more solid point, but unfortunately I had to give up, this book wasn’t for me.
