title: Dark Heat
author: Hart, Arianna
description: She knew the kidnapper's innermost feelings, but could she stop him in time? Talia Dane had her life just the way she liked it. She did her job as a bookkeeper at the occult bookstore Strange Days, hung out with a few friends and had her nice, safe apartment in the city. Being an empath in New York City might seem insane, but the mass of humanity masked her differences and that was all she wanted. Someday she might want more, but for now blending in was just fine with her. Finn O'Brien has a problem on his hands. Twenty-something girls are missing around the city and he can't buy a clue. When Talia's friend Cassidy disappears he's willing to listen to just about anyone-including some kook who thinks she can feel other people's emotions. Talia and Finn embark on mission to find the kidnapper, but will they be able to stop him in time? Or will Talia be the next victim?
