Book Blurb
A girl who can’t forget…
Twenty-two-year-old Lucy Carver is like Sherlock Holmes in ballet flats, but her eidetic memory is more albatross than asset, and something she usually keeps hidden. When she notices that something’s amiss at her dead-end job, she jumps at the chance to finally use her ability for good. That is, until, a man is murdered, and she becomes the target of the killer.
A detective on his first case…
Detective Eli Reyes is overbearing, pompous, way too hot for Lucy’s own good, and seems as determined to ruin her relationship with her boyfriend, John, as finding the murderer. He brings Lucy in on the case, thinking she can help him get to the truth, only to cut her loose when he realizes he’s gotten far more than he ever bargained for.
A past that won’t go away…
When memories from her childhood invade her present, Lucy discovers a mystery bigger than she could have imagined. With the killer still after her, and Eli nowhere to be found, she takes things into her own hands, determined to expose the truth no matter what—before trouble comes knocking…again.
Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Lucy Carver is starting her new job, one of many. She has a hard time staying out of trouble. She sees details and remembers almost everything she sees and reads. Lucy has an eidetic memory which makes her special and gets her into trouble.During her first three days at work as a data entry clerk, she finds discrepancies in the data being entered. Someone in the company is doctoring the numbers. The security guard, John, helps Lucy figure out what to do. He sends her to Mr. Winters, the head of the Accounting Department.
John catches Lucy’s eye and she instantly likes him. He is definitely her type. She is trying to take their friendship to the next level when he gets a call to come back to work. Mr. Winters has been found murdered and Lucy was one of the last ones to talk to him that day. She meets Detective Reyes at the scene and he questions her. She ends up telling him about her gift. He doesn’t believe her until what she claims is proven by the police investigation. He decides to pull her into the investigation and use her on the inside to investigate what is going on in the company.
They start to work together to solve the case. Unfortunately her life becomes dangerous as a result. Someone or ones are trying to kill her. Detective Reyes tries hard to protect her. In fact his job security suffers because of it. Lucy is shocked at how things spin out of control. Detective Reyes stops talking to her, she doubts John’s intentions and innocence, her best friend is dating her ex-boyfriend, and her past is catching up with her. Plus let us not forget the murder case she is trying to solve to save her friend from work. She is the only one to help and her gift is what can make the difference, that is if she can keep herself alive long enough.
This story was interesting. I like Lucy’s character and the gift she possesses. It makes her life anything but dull. Hiding her true self is an ultimate challenge and no wonder trouble follows her. I love that the author threw her problems with men right in the middle of the investigation. That gave a great twist to the storyline. Her confusion with her feelings was fun to watch her juggle. Then a murder is thrown in for kicks. It was a fun read.
I give it a 4 out of 5
