It is my day on this amazing blog tour! I loved being a part of the cover reveal a few weeks ago and the book definitively lived up to the cover!
I am such a huge fan of paranormal books especially those with psychics in it so I knew I would enjoy this. The main protagonist, Harrison, is also an academic as well as a psychic private investigator. I found both his worlds facinating and seeing him trying to balance the two really made him likeable to me. He wanted to help people in so many different ways but didn’t want to give up his own hopes and dreams. There is also Amy who crosses path with Harrison at the beginning and follows him on his journey. I absolutely adored her! Her name alone was enough to like her (does anyone else get excited when a character has the same name as you?). She is so strong despite everything she had been through. She doesn’t let her past stop her from helping everyone around her and she is truly inspiring.
The only thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars is because of the family that Harrison and Amy were helping. The dynamic was difficult to read, which I guessed is supposed to be the point, but I just really struggled with the chapters they were in. Personally I don’t think everyone would have the same problem as me, there were just some topics in this book I have always struggled to read. On that note I do want to warn people there are possible triggers: sex trafficking, drugs, domestic abuse. Just so you aware before diving into this book.
Overall this book was a great mixture of paranormal mystique and the intrigue of a good crime novel. The two main characters were a delight to read and I would definitely read another book set in this universe! If you have any other psychic books send them my way!!
A man who glimpses other people’s inner worlds, and a woman who can foresee death. Can they trace a missing girl before the worst happens?

From their first accidental meeting on an Edinburgh bridge, both of their lives are destined to change.
Harrison invites Amy to help him investigate the disappearance of a beautiful young singer. The search will lead them into the murky world of human trafficking, from Edinburgh to the streets of Athens, and into the darkest corners of the human mind…
