Liza’s Review:
I am a huge fan
when it comes to books by Leslie Kelly, and I’m proud to admit it. I originally
read all the Black CATs and Extrasensory Agents books when they were first
released under the pen name Leslie Parrish and fell in love with both series.
Ms. Kelly has since re-edited and added additional content to all of the books
and re-released them under her own name, Leslie A. Kelly. Cold Sight is
the first book in Leslie Kelly’s exciting Extrasensory Agents series. I try not
to put spoilers in my reviews, but there are a few semi-spoilers to come. I can
say with totally honesty that I loved this book. It pushed me emotionally on
every level and kept me thinking about the story long after I’d finished
reading. Lexie Nolan feels in her gut there is a serial killer targeting teen
girls in her town. Since the girls who have been targeted so far are all from
the “wrong side of the tracks” no one believes her. When Vonnie Jackson turns
up missing, Lexie seeks help in a somewhat unusual source. Aidan McConnell has
psychic abilities and Lexie hopes he can help her find Vonnie before another
teen girl disappears forever. Aidan is the first person to actually believe
Lexie about the missing girls. Aidan had actually met Vonnie before and had
been having visions of a young woman, but had not put it together yet. As Aidan
helps Lexie investigate, they grow closer each day.
Lexie and Aidan
discover a group of affluent men in the small town are behind a very
distasteful practice. They would “borrow” many young girls from the wrong side
of the tracks to use at will for their carnal pleasure and entertainment. Ms.
Kelly doesn’t actually show us the flashbacks, but since Vonnie was one of the
young girls, she has memories, and luckily we just don’t have to see them just
know they existed. The adults in the small town of Granville want to shove the
missing girls under the mat, with the exception of Lexie and Aidan. Only after
the students of the two town schools push for their friend Vonnie, do the
adults have to admit something is going on.
At this point in
the story, Ms. Kelly throws a curve ball at the reader that made me cry my eyes
out. A principle supporting character, which I didn’t see on the chopping
block, is murdered by our villain. As this young girl is from the “right side
of the tracks”, the police immediately rush into action. I totally understand
why this character had to die, since it was extremely pivotal to the outcome of
the book. But it didn’t make it any easier for me to read. I will say I loved
reading about the strength of Vonnie. Even at one of the most horrific times in
her life, she is still trying to figure out a way to take down the person who
kidnapped her and get away. Such strength in a time of terror was inspiring to
read. I had trouble figuring out the “bad guy” in the Black CATs series, until
the last book. I’m happy to say I had the actual villain within my 3 suspects.
Although Cold
Sight has paranormal elements, I would say it is more a story of
psychological suspense than a paranormal. The romance between Aidan and Lexie
was filled with sexual tension and banter and I couldn’t wait for them to
finally give in to their attraction. Leslie Kelly gives her readers a roller
coaster ride with Cold Sight. Even with the bumps and surprises, I
totally enjoyed the ride. I look forward to more books in the Extrasensory
Agents series in the future.
