“Forced to witness unspeakable horrors…

Born of an ancient family of clairvoyants, Marley millet finds that her psychic gift is both unsettling and incredibly dangerous. She never wants to travel again- but the choice is not hers to make.

After glimpsing the fates of two missing New Orleans jazz singers, Marley knows she has no choice and must speak up before more women disappear. Flinty cop-turned-writer Gray Fisher, who interviewed both chanteuses before they vanished, takes a special interest in Marley’s incredible story- and in Marley.

Scouring the wild clubs of the French Quarter, Marley and Gray make an unlikely and uneasy team. But their determination is matched only by the heat between them… and the evil they have uncovered.”

My Rating: 7/10

I didn’t mind this book. I enjoyed the fact that this wasn’t just a romance book that I would get bored with but rather a paranormal mystery, and that’s what really held my interest. I didn’t really think that this book would have so much sexual content, but now that I think about it there is a picture of people going at it on the cover. I did enjoy the characters, and as I always wanted to visit New Orleans, I loved the setting. I should also say that this is an adult book with some graphic moments, not for under age 16, I’d say.

THANK YOU STELLA CAMERON FOR A GREAT PARANORMAL MYSTERY!

Hope you enjoyed this book review

Love,

Spoiler: Out of Body by Stella Cameron

This was a different book than I usually read, not only is it an adult novel, but also it’s a romance. All in all this book is good if you can get past all the sex, I understand the attraction between Gray and Marley without hearing intimate details, that just makes me blush. I loved the fact that the setting was New Orleans, a city I’ve always dreamed about visiting. I also feel for the characters.

CHARACTERS:

Marley: The female main character who is very in tune with her psychic powers (she has to be, she’s a Millet after all) and who is very adventurous. I love her spunk and how she doesn’t back down from a fight, even with Gray.

Gray: A cop-turned-writer who falls instantly for Marley. Nothing like love at first sight *sigh* I was happy they got together, but really… shouldn’t they be focusing on the dead body and missing singers? Come on guys, you can always have sex to celebrate after. I love this man though. I feel horrible that he was treated so badly as a child L that was awful, but he came out well ;)

Sidney: I thought at first this was funny that I shared a name with this character but as I figured out she is evil, I was far less entertained. I figured out she was getting rid of people for her own profit, but I never would have guessed she was related to the beast doing the killing

Bolivar / The Monster: What a scary mental image Stella paints of it attacking the prisoners. I felt scared, but also interested in what the heck this thing was!

Moments to Remember:

♥Pg. 24

“Marley scratched the dog’s head. ‘You’re the best. You’ve got the prettiest ugly face I know.’”

♥Pg. 31

“The autopsy should be going on now, if Blades got to it.’

  Fisher grinned with half of his mouth. ‘Blades is a first-rate M.E. I still say he chose the profession to fit his name.’”

♥Pg. 59

“So she stuck out like a nun at a Chippendale show.”

♥Pg. 207

“‘I’ve got your dog and she like me. Run away and she’s mine.’”

Thanks for reading this spoiler.

Love,

Sidny xoxo
