Years ago, Taige and Cullen were deeply in love. Then fate stepped in, dividing
them when no one else could. Cullen blamed Taige for not being able to prevent
his mother’s death, and pushed her away.
Since then, Taige has put her psychic ability to good use, using it to help
other people. Sometimes she prevents a tragedy, sometimes she can only provide
closure and justice.
Now Cullen’s young daughter is missing and only Taige can help him find her.
Will she be able to save the girl before it is too late?
If you have never read a book by Shiloh Walker, THE MISSING is a
great place to start. In this book, Ms. Walker spins a riveting tale of
suspense and romance, topped off with a bit of the paranormal.
My heart absolutely went out to Taige. This poor woman has been through so much
in her life but she perseveres through it all. She lives her life for others,
even though her personal life is lonely and bereft of love.
Or so she thinks…
The one thing she does have is some pretty lively and realistic dreams of her
ex-lover, Cullen. She has never been able to forget him, despite the things he
said to her at the end. Really, she blames herself for his mother’s death as
much as he did, even though she knows her gift can’t be directed that way. Her
visions come to her without rhyme or reason, and she can never control who she
can save.
Those dreams kept her feelings about Cullen alive and well, so she is more than
primed when he walks back into her life. Interestingly enough, he seems to feel
the same way about her.
Cullen may have made some big mistakes, but it is easy to forgive him when it is
obvious how much he really cares for both Taige and his daughter. He is as
contrite as can be about the way he treated Taige in the past and will do
anything to make up for it and win her love back.
The romantic hurdles are the easy ones here. The real threat comes in the form
of the serial killer who now has his hands on Cullen’s daughter and seems to be
targeting Taige now as well. The suspense is high, and the author peppers the
story with enough clues to the murderer’s identity to keep readers on pins and
needles to the very end of the story.
If you like your romance novels emotionally charged and filled with suspense,
you will not want to skip THE MISSING by Shiloh Walker!
