Cover Description:

Every night Mari Johnson’s dead brother visits in her dreams. The CIA tells her his death was a suicide, but she refuses to believe it. There’s no way he’d leave her again. But if she can’t trust the shadow organization that her brother worked with for answers, then she’ll turn to turn to his surprisingly sexy partner instead…the man who was with him when he died.

Every night Nik Stanley relives the night he watched his best friend die. In vain, he battles the guilt that haunts him. As a member of Project Specter, a program that uses people with paranormal talents for intelligence gathering, he can’t shake the feeling that he should have known that something was wrong.

But when Mari and Nik join forces, the pair are thrown a little too close together, and their digging only draws the attention of powerful enemies that would do anything to keep their secrets hidden.

Read on for my thoughts on View To A Kill.  No true spoilers, promise.

View To A Kill is the start of The Nostradamus Prophecies series  I always expect the first story in a series to be heavy on world building and additional characters place in this world.  And there is a lot going on in this story… part of me wants to say too much was going on, but I believe that in the continuation oft he series we’ll be glad for those bits of information early on.

Nik’s partner, John was killed on a special ops assignment – although it was ruled that John committed suicide by the powers that be.  That makes no sense to Nik and he is hounded by nightly dreams that only add to the confusion in his mind.

John had a twin sister, Mari, who he never told any of his associates about.  Now Mari is receiving messages from her deceased twin nightly.  She needs to find out the truth – and the best way in is through her brother’s partner, Nik.

View To A Kill is certainly action packed, a very good mix of information that we need for this story and for those to come.  We are introduced to the other members of this paranormal abilities special ops group, and while I was annoyed at them not believing Nik sooner I am looking forward to their unique stories.  Mari and Nik had sizzle off the charts at times, and if I wished for more romance than action that is simply my enjoyment style of reading.

Overall I enjoyed this story very much and am looking forward to the next installment in the series.  If you love Paranormal, perhaps a touch of Mystery along with your Romance then you would enjoy View To A Kill.  I happen to be fascinated with prophecies of any kind, so that was of particular enjoyment to me.

*I received an e-ARC of View To A Kill from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*
