Helpful Score: 1
Fast, edgy, sexy! A great mystery, a little bit of 'sixth sense' and two main characters that just click.
Helpful Score: 1
A very good book with a good mix-----mystery, romance, the "site" and very likeable characters. A few too many repitions of "he didn't believe in". A quick read.

Publishers Weekly
Unlike Barton's family-centered romantic intrigues (What She Doesn't Know, etc.), this visceral tale fits firmly in the thriller genre, but shades of romance and the paranormal keep it from being just a slasher story. Set in the heart of the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, the novel opens as a killer sacrifices an innocent woman and drinks her blood to gain strength. He performs these deadly rituals in sets of five before moving on to repeat the process elsewhere. When FBI agent Dallas Sloan hears of the first sacrificial murder in Cherokee Pointe, he takes a leave of absence to investigate and hopefully avenge the death of his niece, who was killed by the same murderer. Genny Madoc, a half-Cherokee with physic abilities, foresees Dallas's approach to the town, and she immediately senses that he's her soul mate. What she doesn't know is that her "sixth sense" makes her the madman's fifth target. As Genny and Dallas join forces, Barton turns her narrative lens on the community and its peculiar inhabitants, transforming this thriller into an insightful exploration of a small town. Scenes of explicit sex and violence can be jarring, but the tension and foreboding twisted throughout provide ample incentive for readers to reach the novel's chilling yet far-fetched conclusion.

Genevieve Madoc has a sixth sense. She sees things as they are happening...violent things. When Genny sees a woman being sacrificed on an altar in the Great Smoky Mountains, she immediately contacts the police. With her help, it doesn't take them long to find the body. When FBI Agent Dallas Sloan hears about the murder, he believes it is the work of the same person who killed his niece. If he's right, there will be four more murders in the next ten days unless he can stop the culprit. When he arrives in the small Tennessee town and learns that Genny had a vision of the murder, he is skeptical of her gift. But as he gets to know her, the begins to believe she may be the key to solving the case.
Book one in the Cherokee Pointe trilogy is a fast-moving romantic suspense. We are introduced to several interesting characters, including many people who were added to my suspect list. I like trying to figure out whodunit. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. My rating: 4 Stars.
