Rating: 5 out of 5

It starts like a Tarantino's movie, in media res, amid a shootout. It goes beyond that when Mrs. Mosiman allows us to explore the back-story of two crooks on the loose. At times, it almost turns into something out of Wes Craven's Last House on the Left, with sex and realistic violence. Then, it's a roller coaster; it grips you page after page, in a breathless ride of gunfire, robberies, and unprovoked deaths, just like something out of today's news.I was working on the formatting of this novel for the electronic book, when my eyes caught a line or two. I couldn't stop reading. Charmed by the gritty story line, I quickly finished my job, delivered the package to the author, and then plunged my nose inside this hot tale.I wasn't disappointed. The flow is fantastic, no bumps or humps on your way down to the ending, and Mrs. Mosiman's descriptive skills had me feel a bit of heat for badass Heddy. I admit having a weakness for bad chicks with guns. Luckily, it stops in my fantasies.Anyway, the details of Heddy's facial impairment, athletic build, and though-as-nails attitude were so well sculpted by the author, that it was like watching a movie.Crow, the male robber, looks like one of those shady characters of today TV serials: skinny, rangy, and with the brains of a hamster on a wheel, so much he has been blown out by meth crystals.Jay, the abusive cop, emanates an undercurrent of repressed rage and frustration.This story could have worked even without the supernatural element of telepathy, so much it's packed with action and suspense, that, to be honest, I didn't care too much about it.All in all, a must read.Note: I received a copy for formatting and had the opportunity to read this great book.
