First book I've read by this author, but it was a good fast paced story with enough psychic information to keep it interesting. I liked it. The ending is different, but you may get the clues along the way. Already ordered another book by this author.

I really liked this book, but sometimes it dragged on in some places and I found myself wishing it would get on with it. However, the concept of FBI murder investigators that have psychic abilities is quite interesting and unique. I would recommend this book to someone who enjoys murder mysteries, who has an open mind, and who likes to shake things up a bit.

The victims are always the same: beautiful, successful, and blond. Someone was able to coax these intelligent and confident women away from safety. Someone was able to gain their trust long enough to do the unthinkable. Their shocking murders have terrified the inhabitants of a small, peaceful town where such heinous crimes are simply not supposed to happen. Police Chief Rafe Sullivan knows he has to find answers fast before another woman is lured to her death--but Sullivan literally doesnt have a clue. And when the FBI sends one of their top profilers to help, hes more than a little surprised that his new partner is nothing like the straight-by-the-book suit he expects.Special Agent Isabel Adams is tough, fearless, determined, and every bit Sullivans equal. Shes also psychic. And blond.Skeptical of his new partners ability to get inside the mind of a killer, Sullivan cant deny that Isabel has tuned in to the killers wavelength, is following the twisted thoughts of a murderer obsessed with stalking, seduction, and death. But in getting so close, Isabel has set herself up as the next victim. Now, with time running out, she and Rafe will find themselves forced to take the greatest risk of all, because this psychopath is playing for keeps and Isabel is the perfect trophy. Unable to turn back, Isabel may have already gone too far. Smart, savvy, and confident, she may find that the very qualities that have kept her alive could turn out to be her undoing. For Isabel has entered the world of a cold-blooded monster who kills without mercy and eludes every sense but one...the sense of evil.

Special Agent Isabel Adams of the FBI's Special Crimes Unit, the elite unit made up of psychic agents, is assigned to investigate a series of horrific murders in Hastings, SC. Isabel is a top notch profiler and clairvoyant. Her partner, Hollis Templeton, is a medium. Together with local Police Chief, Rafe Sullivan, they pool their skills and resources, paranormal and otherwise, to catch the serial killer menacing the town - a killer who epitomizes evil.

Obviously Agent Adams is beautiful, blonde, sexy, smart, savvy, a martial arts expert, sharpshooter and an excellent investigator. Police Chief Sullivan isn't bad on the eyes either. Yes. Sparks fly...with paranormal results.

I like Kay Hooper's psychic series. However, my favorites are "Out Of The Shadows," featuring Noah Bishop who heads the Special Crimes Unit, and Sheriff Miranda Knight, and "Stealing Shadows." "Sense of Evil" held my interest and is a good light read, if somewhat gruesome. However, it doesn't hold up to the high standards Kay Hooper set in the above mentioned novels. The characters here are less developed, not as complex, and the story is somewhat formulaic. The mystery is a good one, however. It kept me guessing to the end!
