Reggie is a psychic who lives and works in Irvine, Kentucky, but no one else in that small town knows about her psychic abilities. And that isn’t the only secret this lady has. Her name isn’t really Reggie. Why doesn’t she want others to know she is a psychic? Why is she using an alias?
When Abigail, a little six-year-old girl, disappears, Reggie’s unwelcome psychic gift springs to life with visions of what happened to her. No matter how badly she doesn’t want her abilities to see things known, she goes to the police and offers to help find the girl.
Detective Jack Benton doesn’t believe in psychics and doesn’t give her psychic claims much thought, at least not until he finds something that she has described in detail.
Warren Harvey, a man whose daughter was kidnapped many years ago and never found, has started a team whose job it is to recover kidnapped children. He, Reggie, and Detective Jack Benton are looking for Abigail.
This twisted tale will keep you turning the pages as fast as you can to find out who took this little girl, why, and if she can be found.
What happened at the end of this supernatural thriller that is laced with romance and suspense was totally unexpected and caught me off guard. No matter how good you are at figuring out what is going to happen in the book you’re reading, you won’t succeed at doing that in this one.

About the Author:
Christina Kaye was raised in suburban Central Kentucky in a family full of right-brainers. With a photographer/artist for a grandfather and an author/illustrator for a mother, she was bound to turn out on the creative side of the spectrum. She honed her writing skills in school, winning awards for her essays and short stories. Christina tried her hand at about every sport imaginable, which only went to prove that her efforts were better spent in other creative outlets such as art, singing, and writing. But it was writing that really stuck with her and she spent the next several years trying her hand at writing fiction novels, just for the fun of it.
She took a break for a while and focused on putting herself through paralegal school while raising two amazing Irish twin girls. She quickly learned that being a certified paralegal was the best career choice she could have made. On top of all of the cool cases she has worked on over the years, she was able to write original legal documents autonomously. When a national magazine for attorneys approached her in 2013 to write a short story for them about the life of a paralegal, she jumped on the opportunity. When the article was published and garnered her some amazing feedback, she realized how much she missed creative writing. She sat down and wrote her very first full-length fiction novel that year and hasn’t stopped writing since.
