Cold Sight by Leslie Parrish

Cold Sight
4 Stars
Girls are disappearing in the seemingly quiet town of Granville, Georgia, but the only one interested is reporter Lexie Nolan. After another girl is abducted, Lexie turns to disgraced psychic, Aidan McConnell for help and the two soon find themselves embroiled in a web of deceit that is about to hit a little too close to home…
Well-written characters, a solid romance and an intense suspense plot.
Lexie and Aidan's push/pull vibe is very appealing and their interactions are believable despite the relatively short timeline. They have both suffered set backs in their pasts, but Lexie is just the direct, no-nonsense type that Aidan needs to force him to take that much needed step toward trusting another person.
The other XI members, each with their own unique ability, are intriguing. Unfortunately, it seems that there is only one more book in the series, which is disappointing as the characters are compelling enough for them to have their own stories.
The serial killer plot is gripping from the outset with clever use of multiple POVs to heighten the tension and suspense. While the paranormal elements are quite subtle, they are put to good use in the story, especially the connection between Aidan’s abilities and his sense of smell, which is original, visceral and immersing. That said, the descriptions of the crimes are dark and gritty so the book may not appeal to all readers.
All in all, an entertaining read for those who enjoy a little paranormal with their mystery and romance.
