Stellar

It is refreshing to see that not all paranormal books must be about vampires and wolves. This was more of a mystical thriller that keeps you guessing as to what will happen to the missing women of New Orleans. You can almost feel the mystery developing under the humid nights of the French Quarter. The Millet's paranormal abilities will need to be used fully against the evil Embran and you are enveloped in trying to unlock the crimes along with the main characters. A quiet evening at home with this book will have you turning the pages and turning your phone on silent!

terrific paranormal romantic suspense

Marley Millet is a psychic just like generations of her family before her. Lately she has suffered from a horrific nightmare; the underworld Embran torturing young women. Marley knows the Embran loathes her for what her ancestors did to the loathsome beast. In New Orleans fearing for women, Marley visits NOPD Detective Archer who treats her like she is a crazy lady though much of her rumbling proves true. Meanwhile the Ushers inside her head mock her failure. Only reporter Gray Fisher, a retired cop, who talked with several of the surviving torture victims, believes her. As Gray and Marley team up to prevent the Embran from harming anyone else, they fall in love, which stimulates his previously unknown psychic skills. This is a terrific paranormal romantic suspense starring a wonderful heroine, her distracting dog Willow and a former cop who finds her amusing and attractive as the colorful sparks they make confuse him and surprise her. The cast is fully developed to include the predator from beyond. Fans will enjoy this exciting fast-paced thriller as the crazy lady, Willow and her beloved reporter battle a nasty underworld serial killer. Harriet Klausner

Loved this book!

Picked up this book and could not put it down until I finished it (at 3:00 AM!) Loved the layered characters, felt the heat between them as well as in the steamy New Orleans setting. I thought the twists and details of the paranormal elements were original, and I loved the eccentric (but not extreme) family members and friends. Compulsively readable and I can hardly wait for the upcoming books in the trilogy!

Great Read!!!

I don't know what book the one star reviewer read but it couldn't have been OUT OF BODY, unless she got a different version from the one I bought. This is a wonderfully creepy, unusual paranormal book with relationships you love and amazing characters, both good and bad. I only stopped reading to eat and that was a nuisance to me. The Millet family of New Orleans was chased out of Belgium on charges of witchcraft. That was three hundred years ago and they've been fighting to survive ever since. Now a group of beings from under the earth are trying to wipe them out and wipe out New Orleans in the process. Everything about this book is starp and the pages almost turn themselves. Great read.

Loved this book!

I read every book Stella Cameron writes and I can honestly say 'Out of Body' is one of her best. The characters pull you in and the combination of paranormal protagonists and antagonists plus the very sensual and hot romance is first rate. I dare anyone to try and put this book down once they have started. Books 2 and 3 in this series, due in April and May respectively, are already on my wish list. I can hardly wait.
