I'm a reader, reviewer, and published author at Cobblestone Press. In this blog, I focus mainly on the books I read: primarily romance in almost every subgenre, with the occasional true-crime book thrown in for a little variety.

When I'm not writing, I enjoy preserving my photos through the art of scrapbooking. I also love scented candles, though of course I don't burn them too close to my books or scrapbooking supplies. :) I also enjoy watching A&E programs such as Cold Case Files and American Justice.

I See You

I really enjoyed Holly Lisle's Last Girl Dancing, so it was a no-brainer to pick up her next book, I See You.

For paramedic Dia Courvant, each day brings the possibility of facing blood and death. But nothing can match the horror of the day she was dispatched to the scene of a terrible car accident and resuced the sole survivor--only to find her own husband dead in the wreckage. Four years later, a series of deadly car crashes brings handsome Detective Brig Hafferty into Dia's life. She's drawn to Brig, but can she trust him enough to tell him of the terror that stalks her? For Dia has received a message warning her of danger and death--a message that seems to have been sent to her from beyond the grave. . . .

While I liked I See You, it wasn't as strong as Lisle's previous book: 3.5 out of 5. Lisle definitely knows suspense, and she does a terrific job of drawing the reader in. I was very curious about what would happen next. The first section of the story is particularly strong in this area.

The romance itself isn't as strong. It progresses a little too quickly from attraction to love. I can definitely buy that unusual/emotional situations can help a relationship skip a step or two, but I didn't get a sense that Dia and Brig know each other well enough for this.
