Summary

If you thought your family was strange...

Try being Keira Kelly.

A member of a powerful paranormal family, Keira elected to stay among humans in the Texas Hill Country when the rest of the clan moved (lock, stock, and grimoire) to Canada. But family duty means still having to keep an eye on cousin Marty - a genetic aberration who turned out 100% human, poor guy. And recently Keira's been having violent dreams - or are they visions? - featuring Marty as the victim of a vicious murder.

Something sinister seems to be brewing in little Rio Seco. Can Keira get to the bottom of it all while avoiding entanglement with her former lover, Sheriff Carlton Larson? And what does she plan to do about the irresistible and enigmatic Adam Walker?

When this old friend shows up as the new owner of a local ranch and wants to get better acquainted, Keira is more than happy to be welcoming...until she suspects that Adam could be intimately connected to the dangerous doings in Rio Seco.

Interesting story poor quality recording

Whilst I found the story pleasant and easy enough to liten to and follow. The sounds of lorry's, doorbell and the hoover in the background do distract some. I do not think you can beat a professional reader and studio. As a narrator I thought she would be great as she was also the author, understanding the characters but I just could not buy into to her, too woody and personalty. No change in tone or accent for different characters. I love professional readers. It is like being a child again being read to buy your parents at bed time.
