Nova
Foxx’s life changed drastically when she had a near-death experience after a
mountain climbing accident. Although she’d long scoffed at her mother’s
paranormal abilities, she can no longer deny their existence when she finds
herself imbued with the same precognitive and telepathic powers that her mother
possesses.
Premonitions of danger to a man she has never met propel her to move New York in
search of the man who haunts her dreams and her fantasies, leaving everything
behind in search of an unknown future.
Zane Youngblood’s life has been marked by multiple tragedies, leaving him a
shell of a man, yet still intent on helping others through his job as a social
worker. Caring for his orphaned nephew proves a full-time job on its own for
the handsome widower, and a challenge that utilizes all of his skills as a
social worker.
But a dark danger lurks in Zane’s past, and unbeknownst to him, lingers in his
present, waiting for an opportunity to strike again. When Zane and Nova find
each other and sparks fly, the unseen menace strikes into action once again,
threatening all Zane holds dearest.
Gracie
C. McKeever is one of those authors whose skill belies the true difficulties
that challenge a professional writer. Simply put, she makes it look easy.
Stories seem to flow effortlessly from the pen of this talented author, whose
fresh and prolific ideas serve well to frequently satisfy her fans.
Between Darkness and Daylight
continues McKeever’s theme of multicultural paranormal romances, but delivers
this story a little differently. While the other books I have enjoyed from this
author employ very strong heroines also, they have been led by very Alpha Male
heroes who have been more certain of the romance than their leading ladies. In
Between Darkness and Daylight,
however, we see a bit of role reversal, with a heroine who leads her hero to the
happy ending instead of vice versa.
Nova Foxx is a strong, capable career woman. She knows what she wants, and
never wavers from her goal. Granted, she has the benefit of precognition to
help her stay focused on this romantic end game, but there is still the little
matter of keeping her newly found soul mate and herself alive in order to see
that ‘Happy Ever After’.
Zane is scarred by loss, and is determined never to love again. But he can’t
seem to stop himself when he meets the headstrong Nova, who seems to understand
what both he and his teen-age ward need, acting as a balm to their woeful
hearts. While no weakling, he is a man who is happy to be led by the woman in
his life, a role that Nova fits very nicely.
This author always balances her romance plot with a great bit of suspense, and
this book is no exception. McKeever keeps us on the edge of our seat throughout
the book, granting voyeuristic bits of insight into the villain’s mind as he
plots the downfall of Zane and his loved ones. Even though she reveals the
identity of the villain fairly early in the book, it never lessens the intensity
of the action or the danger.
Between Darkness and Daylight
should not be missed by fans of romantic paranormal suspense, and especially
fans of Gracie C. McKeever.
