Haunting Rachel by Kay Hooper

Loved this book! I flew through it and couldn't put it down. Another great find for me and I'm excited to read other books by this author! The story (in a nutshell) is about a woman named Rachel whose fiancee disappeared years ago and is now believed to be dead. Unfortunately, Rachel buried her heart with her missing fiancee and is now only going back to the place where she grew up to settle her dead parents' estate. But danger arises as it looks like someone is trying to kill Rachel for reasons unknown. Plus, a man that looks amazingly like her dead fiancee is also in the picture...and always seems to be in the right place at the right time when Rachel is in danger. Intrigued yet?? This was a fast-paced novel that had me enthralled. I couldn't put it down and didn't want to :). At the beginning I kept trying to figure out how the author was going to end it and who the bad guy was. Then I realized that I was overanalyzing it and decided to just settle down for the ride. I sure am glad that I did! Now I'm off to figure out where this fits in with the Suspense/Thriller challenge that I'm involved in. Hmm....

Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye by Victoria Laurie

Yay, I found a new series to read....like I don't have enough. I really liked this book! Abby Cooper is a psychic intuitive who knows things often before they are going to happen. After joining an online dating service, she comes across a man named Dutch who she is really attracted to. Until she finds out that he is a police detective. When one of her clients is murdered, Dutch and Abby have to work closely together to find the killer before Abby finds herself in danger.

This was a cozy mystery that was a lot of fun for me to read. I liked Abby's personality and loved reading about her "predictions". The mystery was a good whodunnit and I didn't figure it out which is always nice. This book is different from other series that I am reading which is most definitely a good thing! I'm excited to continue on reading books from this author.
