The first thing I'll say about this novel is that it's premise is unique. A sociopathic killer who is also psychic; it's bad enough having a killer after you let alone one who is capable of eventually entering your mind.Conduit is a novel that is psychologically gripping and viscerally terrifying. Emily Monroe, a young psychic investigator, unwittingly has attracted the attention of a man who sees pain and suffering as batteries for his psychic powers.The main plot, one of murder and mystery, is embedded within Emily's personal life. She has an ex-lover, Nate who can't accept they're over and a new love interest, Jake, who has more in common with Emily.Conduit is a story of love, pain, terror and sacrifice. It is well-written and the characters developed realistically. The violence isn't gratuitous and the killer isn't a one dimensional killing machine.This is a worthy read for those who enjoy a good psychic thriller.
