Candle Bearclaw, is a gifted computer analyst/programmer with psychic talents she buried when recruited out of college by the CIA. After fifteen years, she abruptly resigns her position and returns to her sleepy hometown to discover her childhood crush has also returned and a violent crime has been committed.
Due to their covert operations experience, Candle and Miacoh are thrown together to assist Homeland Security, FBI, and her father, the former chief of police, with a murder investigation. As they search for the perpetrators, their secrets risk being revealed as the investigation takes an unusual twist that could blow the case wide open.
Uncaged Review: After a long stint as an undercover cyber hacker with the government, Candle is ready for the quiet life back in Colorado where she grew up and her parents still live. She also runs into Micoah, a man she had a crush on as a kid. Now Micoah is done being in the miliary and is back in town to settle his grandmother’s estate and with no plans on staying. Things go awry when the new Chief of police is murdered, and Candle’s father, Hunter is called back to duty as Chief he just retired from to help solve the case. Once thing leads to another and Candle and Micoah are sucked into the investigation.
This book goes along nicely, but they seem to be eating a lot, and I think Candle had a ribeye steak twice in one day. And Candle is constantly “licking her lips,” and turning around and scratching the puppy in the vehicle when the pup is in the car. Even though I loved Terra being included in the story, it seemed like a bit overkill with some of the interactions. Some of that could have been removed. Other than that, I liked all the characters, and all the supporting characters and I hope that the author continues in this series.
