REVIEW:

Hunt and Cam are working together and despite some frightening moments in the previous case that scared them. They are also enjoying some time together at Cam’s house in the foothills. They do have some knowledge of Cam’s “neighbors” but given the nature of the development, everyone has a lot of privacy. When they get a request to meet a kid in the neighborhood under the auspices of him being a fan of Cam’s, it turns out that is a ruse to entice our guys into a completely different scenario. And the real issued ends up tying to a conspiracy that touches a lot of levels and involves a lot of seemingly unrelated incidents.

I won’t spoil any of the plot of this mystery because it’s absolutely fascinating and really I couldn’t possibly describe it very coherently anyway because it touches on so many areas of discovery.  I was surprised where all of these disparate pieces led and how they came together. It’s a very interesting subject – psychic abilities – proving or disproving that they exist and who has a vested interest is persuading the public and other to believe one way or the other.  The many players are surprising and there are government interests are also involved 😉 Hunt’s team gets into the action – peripherally at first and this is a story that provides a lot of information to learn more about them both as individuals and how they work as a team. There’s also a bunch of scary and dangerous moments for both civilians and the team that give Hunt pause as the leader of this unit. One of the other key takeaways from this story is how much more we learn about Hunt’s family and his past.  These revelations provide a lot more insight into who Hunt really is – both for Cam and the reader.

This is another twisting and turning mystery for Cam and Hunter. It starts off simply enough – a seemingly psychic kid reaches out for help. But that’s where the simplicity ends. There are so many shifts and changes and turns that involve seemingly unrelated people and deaths and it’s a race to the finish to see if they can figure out who is behind it and what the end game really is and stop the murder. This is really fascinating stuff. I particularly enjoyed getting more information on Hunt’s background and who he is and how he thinks. Cam learns so much during this case that if anything makes him even more fascinated by Hunt – and let’s face it – he’s 100% in when it comes to Hunt. For those fans of Hunt&Cam4Ever, this is a revised version of the previously release Psychic Men without the sex that sets up a whole new offshoot series.  The story is just as strong without that aspect to be sure and I’m anxiously awaiting the next mystery.  I am highly intrigued by this subject and can’t wait to see where this will lead.  Highly recommended!  I always learn something new with this author and I’m looking forward to this new journey.
