Connie’s review of Dark Matter by Cameron Cruise (no author site avbl)
Romantic suspense released by Mira 1 Jul 08
One by one the Indigo children are disappearing and turning up dead. Seven and his partner Erica are to work with the FBI to try to stop a set of psychic twins before they can kill more. Seven must now work with a psychic from another case and her daughter Stella who is picking up her own “ghost.”
FBI Agent Carin Barnes is pushed to solve this case and hope to help her autistic brother in his silent world. Carin has already risked her career to help him and is not about to stop now but one of the evil twins has already been trying to meld their minds together to create greater power and finally reach the goal their father has pushed them toward since his wife died.
Unfortunately Gia’s daughter is coming into her own as a psychic and has picked up a ghost boy who later turns out not to be dead but he sticks with her and she is trying to help him since he will not leave her alone. Stella wanted to be normal but coming from a family of strong psychics means this is not an option.
I bought the first in this series and did not finish it. I found both books to be a little weird and they did not move well enough to keep my interest. This book seemed to pick up about half way through but I found the whole concept rather weird. I am not in line for the next book of the series. I feel this author has put out much better other books…
I bought the first of this series new and never did finish it. This book seemed to really drag until about half way through and then seemed to pick up but I do not think psychics are that nutty.
Grade:D-
There are those among us whose mental capacity is so evolved that they are able to tap into abilities that are beyond this world. Often diagnosed as autistic, these medical marvels have led quiet lives, ignored by science.
Until now.
One by one, these special “Indigo children” are disappearing and turning up dead. Now a boy handcuffed in a basement awaits his turn while two predators fulfill a mission for a madman.
Caring for her own autistic brother, FBI agent Carin Barnes is driven to find the missing boy and hunt down his abductors—psychic twins Adam and Evie. At the command of their father, the pair are collecting children for torturous experiments he believes will lead to the evolution of the human race.
But in order to succeed, they need one powerful element…something that Carin and her brother possess…matter that elevates some minds to the highest levels of intelligence—and drags others to the deepest pits of hell.
