This book has a great setup. A group of investigators who work for an organization called Divine Ops are also agents for the Canadian FBI. The four members of Divine Ops have psychic gifts which manifest differently in each one. They solve crimes by using these gifts along with their training and instincts. This is the third book in the Divine Trilogy; however, it is a good stand-alone story.Jasmine, or Jasi, is called by a friend who hasn't heard from another female friend in days. She asks Jasi to help her find the woman who was a reporter investigating Sanctuary, a place deep in the woods of British Columbia. The head of Sanctuary, a quasi-religious leader who likes to be called Father Jeremiah, controls his people with an iron hand. The reporter had infiltrated his little sect to investigate several missing persons who were last seen climbing into the cult’s white van. After her friend’s call, Jasi finds out that a the headless body of a woman has been found in the incinerator at Sanctuary and she fears the worst. She and her team are dispatched to begin an investigation.I found the characters were well-developed and the story maintained an interesting pace throughout. I liked Ms. Tardif’s writing style and will check out the other books in the series.
