Genre: Urban Fantasy/Paranormal
Description:
“Welcome to the strange and perilous world of Katherine Colebrook: FBI
special agent, Los Angeles… Trackers Division.
In Katherine’s world, werewolves, vampires, púcas, and other
parasapien species – forced for centuries by human fear and prejudice to live
at the fringes of society – have finally come out of hiding to demand their
rightful place alongside us. Within the FBI’s unit that handles parasapien cases,
the Trackers division, Katherine Colebrook is one of the best. Her psychic
abilities made her a natural, allowing her to move between the parasapien and
human worlds in ways that no other agent could. But Katherine’s calling hasn’t
come without struggle and losses along the way.
As a single mother, she must contend with her teenage daughter,
Alexandra, who not only shares Katherine’s psychic abilities, but seems
determined to follow the same dangerous path as her mother. And so, when
Katherine’s latest assignment threatens to bring that danger too close home,
she finds herself faced with the toughest challenge of her career: Can she
protect her daughter’s life, while battling a ruthless adversary who’ll stop at
nothing to destroy her?”
Author:
“Karen Avizur grew up on Long Island, New York and ended up in
Orlando, Florida, with stops in Connecticut, West Virginia, and Los Angeles
along the way. She's been writing stories since she was twelve years old. In
those early days, she discovered it was impossible to keep up with her thoughts
by writing longhand, and ended up borrowing a 7-pound laptop from her dad,
quickly honing her typing skills.
After graduating film school, Karen moved to Los Angeles, where she
worked as a film editor for several years while also pursuing her writing. ‘I
was taught that a film editor is really the final-draft screenwriter. It’s true’
she notes. ‘I’d written much of Trackers as separate short stories over the
years, but being an editor helped me see how to weave those stories together
into novel form.;
Karen now lives in Florida with lazy dog Ginger (her Australian
cattledog mix), and still keeps a hand in editing for special clients.”
Appraisal:
Katherine Colebrook is one of the best Tracker agents in the FBI’s unit that handles
parasapien cases. She’s trained in all the defensive arts and has psychic
abilities. Katherine is a single mother of a sixteen-year-old daughter, Alexandra,
who is also psychic and trained in defensive arts and weapons.
The police found Rebecca alone in a diner, rocking to and fro afraid
and mumbling. The doctor admitted her to
the mental ward of a children’s hospital. The nurse on duty, a friend of
Katherine’s, thinks Rebecca may be psychic, however, she is also a high
functioning autistic teenager. Someone is trying to kidnap her. When Katherine
learns her older brother was killed trying to protect her, Katherine askes for
a quickie adoption from the FBI, so she can protect her.
It doesn’t take long before the fists and feet start flying, races
against the clock ensue, and training a new partner begins. Of course, politics
finds its way into the story of Werewolf society, Vampire hierarchy, and Mob
bosses. Which all requires Katherine’s special touch. It’s all edge of your
seat intensity with surprising twists and turns. It’s no holds barred when
Katherine get fired up, her stamina wore me out reading about all the action. All
of the story arcs are brought to a close except the mystery surrounding
Rebecca’s past and her nightmares. Then in the last chapter two new characters
are introduced who are connected to Rebecca. Luckily book 2 of this series is
published.
