Conduit was an amazing paranormal novel that provided some new and unique twists on the idea behind psychics and people gifted with extra senses.  I loved every bit of this story, from its beginning to the end. The characters were intriguing and realistic, the friendship between Emily and her former-cop friend endearing, and the best part is that the dialogue flowed smoothly from start to finish.  The unique blend of show and tell never left me feeling bored with the story or yearning for a little more information.  Angie Martin gives you exactly what you need to know to understand the story as the plot develops.And what a plot it is. There's a serial killer preying on a special kind of a woman in this novel. A twisted serial killer who doesn't merely kill his victims.  He has to torture them.  You feel for these girls, you hope for them, and you keep waiting for the killer to make that one mistake that'll land him in hot water.This book kept me on the edge of my seat.  It was a splendid piece of mystery and suspense all in one and has me waiting anxiously for the next novel of the series.  Emily Monroe is now one of my favorite supernatural heroines, right up there with Buffy. This was a great book with a couple kick ass females who demonstrate the power between girlfriends. The coolest thing for me in particular is that we saw some realistic, factual aspects of criminal justice and forensics training. There were many moments that I wondered how much research this author had to do for her to hit the mark so accurately.  As a diploma holder in the criminal justice field, this called to me.  Perfect blend of real life knowledge without feeling like a course in forensics or an episode of CSI.
