Blurb
After a near-death experience, artist Ashley Price is compelled to paint visions of the dead, and fears she’s gone crazy. Then she paints a man buried alive and, recognizing the surroundings, she rushes to save him.
Instead of being grateful to her for rescuing him, Detective Jack Sullivan accuses her of being in league with a serial killer. He swears he will put her behind bars. Except, the more time he spends with her, the more he falls under her spell. Can he trust her, or is he walking into another deadly trap?

After a near-death
experience a year earlier, artist Ashley Price longs for a normal life. She has
visions of dead people, which send her into a trance. The only way she can get
the images out of her head is to paint them. Due to her mental instability,
she2527s given her dad custody of her adorable daughter, but she2527s determined to
get better so she can bring her daughter home. One night, a vision hits and she
paints it as usual. But this time, when she breaks free from the trance, she
realizes the victim in the painting isn2527t dead. He2527s still alive, and she
recognizes the scenery as part of her property. She goes out looking and finds
Jack near death. But Jack isn2527t all that grateful to her for saving him. He2527s
convinced she2527s working with the serial killer, and he2527ll do anything to prove
it.

This is a good mystery,
crime-fiction story, and I didn2527t figure out who was the killer until late in
the book. Both Jack and Ashley have serious baggage and trust issues. There was
very little romance between them, at least until maybe ¾ of the book. I couldn2527t
connect with either of them. Though I understood their motivations behind their
actions, their stubbornness and animosity towards one another made it hard for
me to root for them.

The time line seemed off
from the last book. It2527s either been one year, two years, or a few years from
the previous one. Kate and Murph, the previous book2527s couple, weren2527t in this
one and they weren2527t mentioned either, but Captain Bing played a big role. The
local police captain tied the two books together.

Overall, I liked the
murder mystery part, but I wish there would2527ve been more romance between the
H/h.
