A review by snarkymotherreader
Cold Sight by Leslie Parrish

3.0

Reporter Lexie Nolan was shunned by the community of Granville for publishing a story about a serial killer picking off local low-income girls. The police chief painted her as a glory-hound trying to create a panic, and the story was buried — until now. Another girl is missing, one who doesn’t quite match the “runaway” type. Under the guidance of her boss and friend, Lexie decides to continue her investigations under the radar of the local law enforcement, but to do so she needs a special kind of help. Enter Aidan McConnell, former psychic investigator and fellow outcast. Together, they must find the monster behind the kidnappings and battle the dark forces in Granville’s seemingly innocent community.

Cold Sight is the first book in Leslie Parrish’s Extrasensory Agents series. It has an engaging plot, a sweet romance, and the makings of an intense series. Once the stage was set, so to speak, Cold Sight really took off. Leslie kept the suspense on high until the very end, and made me curious to see what she has in store for the other agents. It wasn’t enough, though, to make me truly enjoy this installment of the series.

Don’t get me wrong. The writing is amazing, and I’m sure diehard fans of Romantic Suspense will adore it, but it just didn’t do it for me. Granted, I’ll never be able to look at The Burger King without screaming, which is an accomplishment in itself, but I didn’t find myself hooked by the story. The paranormal aspects are minute in comparison to the detective work, which may have been one of the problems for me.
