a review of Mind of the Phoenix by Tapsalteerie
Moira is an empath, guilty of murder but given a second chance so long as she helps the police solve a string of bizarre and confounding murders. This story follows Moira as she discovers that some people may be worth trusting while others are not. This novel sucked me right in and I am disappointed that I don't have a sequel to immediately sate my curiosity. Well written, and engaging, McLachlan weaves a story illustrating the abuses of power in a fictional Gilded Age society of Elite and empaths that is possibly giving rise to a mysterious entity known as the Phoenix. Moira and detective Edwards have to overcome their animosity and chemistry to work together before even more people suffer.
