Publisher's summary

Sienna Nealon is a woman with powers far beyond those of a normal human. As head of the unit in charge of policing others with abilities like hers, she has fought more battles than even she can count. But after a case gone bad, Sienna ends up suspended from her job, cooling her heels on Bayscape Island, a picturesque town in southern Lake Superior, seeking a peace that she finds illusive. For even on vacation nothing goes right for Sienna, and soon enough she's drawn into a mystery that sweeps away any hope of peace, replacing it with fear, distrust and a looming calamity that no one could have predicted.

the virtual voice isn't there yet

virtual voice is a distraction. it may be useful for dry historical accounts but falls way short on regular speech. it is not a person. it fails on conjunctions, abbreviations, intonation and more. why does the AI have a lisp during part of the narration? not really sure. no character voice changes despite the chapters being separated by character. I finally gave up on the narration and went back to reading. if it wasn't free I would have returned it. please don't use this virtual voice until it passes the sniff test, cause right now it stinks! btw, try having it narrate my review, I'm totally sure it will make it sound so good! Just in case you missed the sarcasm when the VV narrated this, that was sarcasm. as the author, I would be totally igrateful have my good work butchered on a technological experiment.

Good story line with familiar, well developed characters, as usual for this author.

Enjoyable story, action and suspense. But this is marred by "Virtual Voice" narration. Not actually robotic sound (only at times), voice actually uses inflection. But it's hard to distinguish which character is speaking, and affect is flat. Why not use one or more of the gifted actors who usually provide narration? Live narrators add dimension to story and characters, realistic reactions. This narration made the story boring, and I just wanted it to end. If this author continues to use Virtual Voice narration in following books, it's time to move on to another author and series. Too bad. I really enjoyed the established characters.
