I’m always amazed at the creativity of some authors and Ms. Atkinson is one of the masters. Where do these ideas come from? Should you be scared? Not at all, but what you will be is deeply entrenched and on the edge of your seat reading the dark and edgy second volume of her new series “Counterfeit Psychic.
Once again Brie Duncan becomes embroiled in a new murder case much against her will. She has cleaned up her business and now just wants to make enough money to pay her rent, buy groceries and maybe have a little left over. Of course, that’s not what happens when Detective Farrel walks into her magic shop and demands she accompany him to the precinct. She’s right to be nervous because as she looks at the newest crime scene photos, she knows somehow witches, and not the good kind, are involved. Things go from bad to worse for Brie and even when Layne comes back after being MIA for two weeks, she’s in for some rough times. There is definitely chemistry between these two, but events keep spiraling out of control before they can do more than longingly gaze at each other.
There is so much happening in this story that it will make you dizzy and terrified for our girl Brie. Could she have magic—the real kind and not the kind based on the help of drugs? She finds out some crucial facts about her childhood and it leads her to become even more involved in the latest murders. All she wants is to lead a quiet life, but when all the clues lead to WHO (the black coven) is committing the murders, there are no leads to WHY they’re doing it. Parrish, the local ME, is a welcome addition to the story. I love her kick-ass attitude. As with all the other Thea Atkinson books I’ve read, this one will take you on a roller coaster ride of thrills, terror and questions upon questions. March 2022 cannot come fast enough to find out what’s in store for Brie, Layne and Parrish. A must read for fans of urban fantasy.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
