Julie Harris did it again. I loved her mix of paranormal and mystery in A Tear of Blood and she didn't disappoint with No Exit. Just from the summary alone, the book seems like it will take the reader on a suspenseful ride and Harris delivers that, amazingly well. Once I picked up the book, I refused to put it down until I finished. Psychics, US Presidential Candidates, "ghosts", and Navy Seals all abound in this book creating an interesting mix of the past, the present, and the future, for all the characters.I loved the interplay between Rebecca and Kelly Nolan. An Australian psychic meets a Native American Navy Seal - with similar psychic "feelings" - who doesn't understand why they need to cater to an Aussie or how she could help save the Presidential candidate. You get to see them grow from distrust and disbelief, to relying on one another for safety. There was obviously something between them, some kind of connection, because Kelly had been drawing images of her for years but it never seemed contrived. You never really find out how they are connected, but it didn't bother me. I was too engrossed with the mystery plotline to really worry about the romance.Even with Rebecca's power of premonition I still was left wondering who was going to try and kill John Glover up until the very end of the story. Harris weaves the plot so well, introducing more than one potential killer, all with various motives, that you question which person is actually behind the plot. As the story unfolds, it's not just John Glover's life on the line so I started wondering who wanted them all dead and why. The ending was quite a surprise.This book is fantastic and I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for more stories from her.
