A kidnapper is on the loose and only Juliana Westwood can help. Juliana is a psychic who has worked with the police in the past helping to find missing persons. She has returned to her hometown of San Jose and already she is having the psychic dreams of a childʼs disappearance. When she contacts local police she gets more than she bargains for. Not only does she have to convince a skeptic, he just happens to be her high school sweetheart.

Alex MacKenzie is a cop who normally works in homicide. When he gets pulled in to interview a new psychic, he is floored when he actually recognizes the woman from his past. He has always been skeptical, and is more so since Juliana was unable to predict the death of his friend. When Juliana disappears from his life without any word, he shuts off his heart and devotes his life to his niece and twin sister. Now she just happens to walk back in and he is angry as hell!

But, not only is Juliana right, the kidnap victim just happens to be Alexʼs niece. His sister is beside herself with grief and Alex finds himself believing in Juliana. He also finds that he is still in love with her, only she has no plans to pursuit a relationship with him. When Juliana delves more into the mind of the kidnapper, his protective instincts kick into full gear. Someone may get hurt, and Juliana is at the top of the list.

Erin Richardʼs release, CHASING SHADOWS is a great paranormal romantic suspense. This is Ms. Richards debut and from my point of view, she is definitely an author to keep an eye on. CHASING SHADOWS is well written and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. She will definitely be added to my list of upcoming favorites.
