More About This Book

Overview

Abby Cooper's next mission may truly be impossible...

Abby Cooper, the FBI's newest Civilian Profiler, is adding Spy to her resume. The military's digital photography software that captures one's aura- just like Abby can-sits in a drone aircraft that's been stolen. It's a major breach in security as every country's leader can be identified by their aura...

Abby springs into action to stop the criminals before they set their diabolical plan into motion, while making herself a prime target.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In Laurie's lightweight eighth Psychic Eye mystery (after 2010's A Glimpse of Evil), the CIA taps psychic investigator Abby Cooper to help recover a stolen drone carrying powerful neurotoxins and technology that can target individuals from a distance by their auras. In Toronto, Abby poses as the new assistant to her fiancé, FBI assistant special agent Dutch Rivers, who's masquerading as weapons dealer Rick Des Vries. Abby finds the soft side of tough dangerous men by a mixture of competence, sex appeal, and pulling secrets about their families out of the ether. The central romance between Dutch and Abby, unfortunately, amounts to a lot of her fussing over his welfare, their wedding date, and whether it's unfaithful to flirt with the handsome bad guys. And it's hard to love a female-narrated story where the main way for women to succeed is to get things done while acting as sidekicks and eye candy. (July)

Kirkus Reviews

A psychic helps her fiancé crack the case of the missing CIA whatsit.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Dutch Rivers, FBI, is exactly what you'd expect: He speaks several languages, has extensive weapons training and is ready to do what it takes to protect his country. His fiancée, Abigail Cooper, is none of the above, and so is more than surprised to be rounded up by the CIA for a special mission. The agency is in trouble when a special drone is stolen—a drone programmed to see people's unique auras. Originally intended to track our most deadly enemies, the drone could be a unique threat to world safety if it fell into the wrong hands. Abby's psychic skills are key to the mission. Not only can she see the same auras as the machine, but her skills may give Dutch added protection. Before Abby can rattle off a handful of the reader's favorite signature catchphrases, she, Dutch and CIA handler Agent Frost are off to the great white north on a mission of recovery. Abby is suddenly thrust into a world of weapons dealers, international espionage and real threats on her life. She'll need more than psychic powers to make sure she and Dutch make it through alive.

Fans of Laurie's Psychic Eye series (A Glimpse of Evil, 2010, etc.) will notice the absence of some of their favorite characters in this latest addition. Natural pacing and humor offer compensation for a plot freighted with heavy-handed exposition.

    Meh

    I am sorry but I am not digging the direction this series has taken.......and for LOTS of reasons. The whole "working for the CIA" is way too unrealistic for one thing. I don't know if the writer was afraid her series was becoming stale or what, but it wasn't. I found myself skimming over huge chunks of this book. Secondly, there are too many characters the I love that she just cut out.......Eggy, Cat, Candice, Milo, Dave - HELLO!? Where are these guys? Go back to the formula or lose a loyal reader. Period.

    A Bit Disappointing

    I did not enjoy this book as much as I did the first eight. Abby seems to have lost her "spidey sense" along with her "crew'. I also missed all of the other characters. It would be nice if Victoria Laurie would write another book in this series with Abby using her psychic abilities more and bring back Dave, Milo, Candice, and Cat.

    A fun read

    Abby & Dutch find themselves in a world of trouble in this one. The plot is pretty implausible as they work for the CIA to recover a drone and protect the world from a deadly toxin. Poor Dutch & Abby get injured repeatedly but also kick some serious butt. Even with the implausible plot, I still found the book fun & enjoyable. I love Abby's & Dutch's characters. I am waiting for their next adventure, but I hope it gets back to plots & charactets like the previous ones in this series.

    Could not put it down!

    I enjoyed this book so much, each one has been exciting but this book seemed more action packed to me. I got it from our local library and had 6 days to read it, could not put it down actually - wanted just to sit and read [no housework, no cooking dinner, etc.]. NEED THE NEXT ONE FAST - THIS ABBY IS QUITE THE GAL! Love how she reads for her clients - surprising them with what she sees, sure would like to be able to be that way.

    THANKS AND HURRY! [Sorry, no time for good series writer you know].

    Also Disappointed

    This book is not at all like the series- of which I have read every one. I skimmed over a good amount of this book as I found it very boring. The other books in this series were more fun with likable characters.

    Making her hardcover debut, Victoria Laurie provides an enthralling thriller

    No two people have the same aura as psychic Abby Cooper realizes since she has been reading them for much of her life. As a civilian profiler for the FBI, Abby is asked to go on a dangerous mission with her fiancé Assistant Special Agent in Charge Dutch Rivers as her paranormal skills are needed.

    A scientist developed Intuit, a software program that reads the aura of a person or their video so that a weapon consisting of three deadly toxins attached to a drone can kill a targeted individual. Terrorists and rogue governments want the weapon. Someone stole the drone loaded with the software and toxins. The GPS indicates it is in Toronto. The plan is for Dutch to masquerade as weapons leader Richard Des Vries and Abby as his business partner. They are to contact arms dealer Viktor Kozahkov; he will introduce them to Boklovich who is hosting an auction to sell the stolen weapon to the highest bidder. In Tornto, someone attacks and almost kills Abby while arms dealer Maks Grinkovbatters Dutch. Abby and Mako (who supposedly works for the enemy as an arms dealer) are attracted to one another. Mission impossible moves to an island owned by Boklovich in which humanity's most despicable gather to bid.

    Making her hardcover debut, Victoria Laurie provides an enthralling thriller in which readers will understand the meaning of mission impossible when they try to put the novel down as the heroine has made believers of a reluctant government. She makes choices partly based on facts and somewhat on intuition as she sees A Glimpse of Evil aura. Her love for Dutch is strong in spite of her attraction to Grinkov. Fans will relish this mesmerizing paranormal espionage thriller.
