The overall story line is good but I admit the lying gets on my everlasting nerves! Why Dutch puts up with her I have no idea. I would have kicked her to the curb long ago.
Review of books from a wide variety of styles including fantasy, my personal favorite, Southern fiction, mystery, young adult and even the occasional non-fiction selection. I will even read the back of the cereal box but I promise not to review that.

Fatal Fortune by Victoria Laurie
Abby gets a call in the middle of the night from Candice, her BFF, telling her to retrieve a file and tell no one. The next morning she sees a video that appears to be Candice making a hit on a doctor from Vegas. Believing that Candice would only do such a thing for a very good reason Abby begins to investigate.

Deadly Forcast by Victoria Laurie
Abby and Dutch are coming up to their wedding day. A bombing case comes into their FBI office and although Abby's crew has told her to stay away she does not listen.
Abby soon gets the feeling that Dutch will die and it is going to be her fault. Add this stress to the stress of a wedding, a house being finished and working a high profile case and things are not going well.
One chapter leads up tot he wedding, the next chapter deals with the two hours approaching the wedding and features M.J. Holliday and Gill from the Ghost Hunters series. M.J. also featured in one of the earlier Abby Cooper novels.
The story line is good but Abby got on my nerves with her passive aggressive behavior. Why her sister Cat does anything for her I have no idea and why Dutch would put up with some of her behavior I also do not understand. If this was the first in the series I had read I would stop but I will hold out hope the next one will be a bit better.

Vision Impossible by Victoria Laurie
FBI, CIA, CISI if it has initials it is in this installment of the Abby Cooper Psychic Eye mysteries.
Abby and Dutch are sent in as spies to retrieve a new weapon that can "see" a persons aura. Think James Bond with a psychic element. The last twist is a bit unexpected which always makes for good reading.
Not as good as some of the others but not a bad read, probably better if I had not been reading the series so quickly. Sometimes a break is a good thing.

Killer Inisight by Victoria Laurie
Abby is disappointed in Dutch. She had put so much into Valentine's Day and he gives her a phone, a two for one deal on a phone in fact. After telling him to leave after he said he needed to concentrate on a case she decides to attend the wedding of a childhood friend in Denver. Not the best plan after a breakup but she figures a change of scenery may be just what she needs.
Then the bridesmaids start disappearing, one by one. Abby is trying to stay alive, deal with her feeling for Duffy, another friend growing up, and analyze how she feels about the breakup with Dutch.
A bit more emotional read with disparaging self-analysis by Abby. The ending is quick and dramatic.

A Vision of Mufer by Vitoria Laurie
Abby invest, along with handyman Dave and sister Catharine, a fixerupper house to resale. All goes well until the ghost appear and try to kill Dave. When Abby and Dutch go to the house they see the ghost of a young woman, laying in a pool of blood. Needless to say Cat is not happy her money is not working for her.
Abby may be psychic but she is not a ghost hunter at all. They creep her out as much as the next person. By using her gift she is able to solve the mystery and avoid being killed herself.

Better Read Than Dead by Virtoria Laurie
Abby Cooper has to pay back a favor to a psychic friend, doing readings at a wedding. What she does not know at first is this is a mob wedding. After leaving in a hurry Abby is forced to read for the mob boss, who is dying, in order to protect herself and her family and friends. Luckily Dutch is there to help her out and he and Milo come up with a plan to help Abby save the day.
A bit edgier than the first book which means sometimes you have to step away for a moment or two before diving right back in.

Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye by Victoria Laurie
Abby Cooper is a psychic, making her living giving readings to customers as helping others makes her feel good about what she does. She lives a quiet live with her dog Eggy, working on her house remodel and getting through the day.
With a cozy feel and just enough psychic info to more the story along the first of this series is a page turner. Of course she gets into more than she should, meets a really handsome detective and adds gray hairs to her sister's head. A fun read that keeps you turning the pages.
