No Exit, written by Australian author Julie Harris is a supernatural thriller-romance that will have you on the edge of your chair from the first page to the last. The storyline is about a young woman, Rebecca, who is not only an incredibly talented psychic but also a gifted healer. Unfortunately for Rebecca, she sees the future of the man who will one day be president as he is assassinated while doing a reading for the man's wife two years before the actual event. This all starts the ball rolling in a cat and mouse game between the young psychic and the Night Hawks, an elite group of military personnel assigned to protect the future president on the day of the planned assassination.  This may sound like I gave a lot of the storyline away but I promise it is only the set-up to an exciting mystery that has more twists and turns than a runaway roller coaster. Rebecca's love interest is one of the Night Hawks who also happens to be just a bit supernaturally gifted himself.Ms. Harris's writing is, in one word, superb. The action never slows down even as the author effortlessly moves the reader from scene to scene.  Although there are many characters they are easy to keep sorted, something I find can be difficult if the author doesn't handle it well. Ms. Harris manages to make each character noticeable in his or her own way without cluttering up the storyline with useless information. Both of the main characters are very likeable without being overly sweet and nice. They have their own dark sides, Kelly more so than Rebecca, but as a reader I was still able to connect with him. The setting she paints for the majority of the book, the military base, is very detailed and interesting. I found the different personalities on the base and how they connect to the story to be very intriguing.No Exit could definitely be the start of a series for these characters as I feel they have a lot more story left in them to tell and I hope to read more books with them and their experiences in the future. Until that time I will definitely be searching for more books by a new favorite author I've discovered in Julie Harris.
