Please be aware that this review is my own opinion. This is not a paid review. To form your own opinions please support the author and acquire your own legal copy of the book.
While reading this book the following thought popped into my head and just seemed to fit so well with this amazing book. “From the first page this book grabs the reader’s attention, pulls the reader in and refuses to let go!” That honestly sums up the whole book. I hated having to put this book down while either reading on my breaks at work or before going to sleep at night. I almost took a vacation day just so I could read this book. I could not wait to finish reading. Julie Harris has found a fan in me. I hope my review will do justice to this book.
I honestly did not understand the title of this book until almost the very end. Then everything was clear. The title made perfect sense, because in the end there is ‘No Exit’.
There are two main characters in the book, Rebecca Miller and Kelly Nolan. Rebecca is not your everyday 1-900 number psychic. She has a gift, a gift that is beyond human understanding. Kelly Nolan is a commander in the US Navy Seals. He is in charge of a small special ops force. There are several minor characters in this book but all play an important role in creating the special feeling in this book.
Rebecca has an amazing gift. This gift is beyond human understanding. People call her weird, a freak, unnatural and many other hurtful names. Why, you ask? It is because she can tell a stranger their past but also knows the future for that stranger. She can touch someone and heal him or her from all there aches and pains. She can shake someone’s hand and knows if there is a future for the person.
In the past, Rebecca read a female that was visiting from the USA. She told this woman when, where, and how her husband would die. At the time, Rebecca did not think anything of it, but she recorded the session and gave a copy to her client. Two years pass and Rebecca is asked to attend and speak at a conference in London. Unknown to Rebecca she is about to be kidnapped, a prisoner, a visitor that is not allowed to leave the US Air Force Base in England.
Commander Kelly Nolan is a Cherokee Indian. He is also psychic. He can read people’s mind. Would that be wonderful? I would love to know what other people are thinking or wanting to say but to scared to say it.
After reading this book, it will make the reader wonder if there are people like these two somewhere in the world. Do I wonder? Yes, I do. Why? Because anything is possible in the great amazing world, we live in.
Rebecca is a strong female character that has learned how to handle no close friends, no second date, no love and support from family members. However, things like that always make us stronger. No matter what we have been through it has made us a stronger in character. The one thing in life Rebecca wants is to be normal, to have a normal life with someone to love her. Will she ever find that someone? Will she ever be normal?
I hope you will find the time to read this amazing book. I have tried to think of what genre this books fits in but it is a collection of them. I would put it in paranormal, paranormal-romance, suspense, and mystery.
The bunnies and I give this book 5-carrots.… (lisätietoja)

A 5-star suspense-thriller with some romance tossed in.
Rebecca had a special ability, one that made her father leave when she was just a child, one that made most people afraid of being a friend. She could see things about people, the past, the present and the future, with just a simple touch. Plus, she could also heal the sick or the dying.
On what was supposed to have been a 2 week seminar and get away vacation, Rebecca is met at the airport by “official looking gentlemen.” Not being told anything, she is taken away, but she is afraid to board the helicopter as she sees what will happen. A sniper!!! While she is clinically dead, she discusses with her angel, Emanual, that there is something she was meant to do but did not do. She wants to go back.
Nearly scaring the technician in the morgue to death, Rebecca comes back to life. She is in a secret location with military black ops men, and she is there to foresee the future presidential election. She sees other things as well, including who the sniper was that shot her!
Add to the mix a tall, dark and handsome Navy SEAL Commander, Kelly Nolan. What is the attraction between them? Why can’t she see him the way she can see others? The feeling that she knows him from somewhere is strong, plus he has been painting her for more than 10 years.
What is it that an Australian with a special gift needs to stay in England to make sure the future president of the United States is not assassinated? Is he really the next president, or will the sniper succeed? You’ll have to read for yourself to find out if Rebecca really can see the future.… (lisätietoja)

The heroine was just too much. She could tell the past and the future by touching someone or by touching something or just by thinking about some random person in the world. She could see auras, cure people and plants, read minds and see and talk to ghosts and help them to the afterworld. Not to mention that she had an angel as her personal imaginary friend and was important enough to come back from the dead. Thinking back on this book I'm pretty sure she couldn't fly but that was about the only thing she couldn't do.
The hero was a cipher basically and he blew hot and cold and had weird cold reactions to her sometimes even after he declares he loves her. Even though he's been obsessed with her since she was 15 and has been compulsively painting her picture for 15 years, he married another woman and is in fact still married to the OW during the course of this book. But he has the gall to say to the heroine that maybe the reason she's never had any luck with guys is that she was waiting for him. Hmph.
Still there were moments of brilliance. When she was dead for example and some of her miracles. The ending became a morass of not very interesting political/military suspense that was frankly a bit confusing.
Final thoughts compulsively readable but missed the mark romantically.… (lisätietoja)
