Touched ( second sight book1)
By Hazel Hunter

In the world of Isabelle de Grey, eyesight isn't the only way to see. Her psychic ability gives her a second type of vision. When she touches objects and people, she looks into their past. But her gift is equal parts curse. She has yet to find the lover who can accept the brutal truth of what she sees. Isolated and rejected, she is ready to abandon her career when she meets FBI profiler Gavin "Mac" MacMillan.

Thrown together when the daughter of a mutual friend is abducted, Isabelle discovers that Mac could be the man who won't push her away. Despite his controlled exterior, she senses a fevered passion in him that boils just below the surface. But as she and Mac give in to their desires and race to save a young girl, Isabelle must learn yet again that every touch has its price.

This started of so well and has a huge potential but I felt it very rushed it went from Mac doubting to bedding Isabelle in 30 sec which for me and some of the books I read is pretty fast! Just wish the author had have put a few more chapters in and not have it so rushed!

Mostly dogshit. Actually starts out better than the second one and maintains its footing for a good while before it deflates; at that point it had more laughs, was more lively and colorful - in fact it still looks okay overall aside from the Nickelodeon-tier green screen and occasional CGI eyesores. But by God do none of these people want to be here, not like their characters are given anything to do anyways but Cooper and Helms particularly give their performances as if they were *legitimately* drugged and hungover. Just lacks passion, it's unmistakable that this was only made as a last-ditch effort to use this once original and deeply funny franchise as a shambling vehicle to print more money. Yes it tried to take a different route for its story but at what cost? It removes all the trademark mystery and fun clue-finding of the other two and replaces it with an oftentimes unbearably tedious "get-this-do-that" rinse and repeat chore that ends with a shrug. Now everyone is just a hollow archetype of their previously charming (but no more) characters and the back hour is violently unfunny. In the end it couldn't care less about its own existence. Far from the worst thing I've ever seen but just an all-around despicable example of how low sequels can stoop.

"Growing up in a Southern Baptist home, I was hesitant to read a fictional account of Jesus’ adult life, his own family relations, and the introduction of a romantic relationship. I know the ending to this story, so what could I possibly learn? However, my curiosity got the best of me, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved how the author humanized Jesus in a way I hadn’t seen him described before. I knew about his adoration for his mother, his intense sense of responsibility and his steadfast purpose, but I had never considered the down to earth humanity within those qualities: the love of laughter, warm interpersonal connections with siblings, and day-to-day decision-making. The other fascinating character was, of course, his love interest Ana. You see Jesus through this strong, feisty woman’s eyes and cannot help but weep with her when she loses her greatest love. As this historical moment that I had faithfully studied for all of my life unfolded, I was so involved in the story that I forgot everything aside from the passion, love and sacrifice these two figures shared. Sue Monk Kidd provides the ultimate gift that any writer has to offer their reader: the ability to climb inside the hearts and minds of her characters, feel their pain and celebrate their love. What an experience."
