Great!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I believe that the best books are the ones that grip you from the first paragraph. In this case, that was true. I loved this book. As soon as I knew it was about psychics, I knew I needed to get this book and to read it. Or in this case, listen to it.

There was fantastic character development throughout this book. I wasn't sure if I liked the main character at first but as the story progressed, I really got invested in the story and the happenings. I liked the narration. It was not the best but it wasn't bad at all. I felt as though some parts could have been better but they were very few and far between

Kaleidoscope of Horror!

Mike is a happy-go-lucky type of guy with a high-paying job as a geophysicist, he travels everywhere, is personable, gorgeous, and carries with him everywhere a deadly secret. This secret gives him a nightmarish ability to see frightening futures in a Kaleidoscope manner. Unable to figure out his gift and what he can do with it, he is now he is being hunted for it. These unseen people will stop at nothing to get the knowledge he has and if they get it, it will be deadly for someone. Now his five college friends and an FBI agent are involved.

Chariss Walker, the author, has taken her time to build her characters and the storyline. Walker’s intriguing plot has been carefully woven into a mesmerizing and edge of your chair thriller. The story moves slowly at first but only so that the listener can grasp the situation fully. Once Walker accomplishes this, the gloves are off and the action is non-stop. This is not only well written, but the dialog is solid and realistic. There is the ending, which is a cliffhanger, (Walker warned me about it) but to be honest, I think it was perfect! She handled the cliffhanger in such a way that it made me want to hear the next one. Her talent at weaving the story and leading up to the ending was well executed. The plot twists were unexpected!

The narrator, David Williams was superb. He gave each character a voice making them unique, and he spoke with confidence and with a rhythm that kept the story flowing well. He spoke clearly and with enthusiasm. I enjoyed listening to him tell the story.

I have always enjoyed paranormal stories, and this is one I enjoyed immensely. I look forward to the next in the series.

This should be made into a TV series or a movie!

I have said from the time I read the e-books that this should be made into a TV series or a movie! David Williams has the perfect voice for this story about a man with paranormal abilities-which he doesn't really want.

Psychic Ability Suspense

Chariss Walker has written a suspenseful story about a geophysicist named Michael James Lewis who has the ability to see events that happen in the future. When this ability manifested, Mike kept it a secret. When someone tries to abduct him, Mike realizes that his secret is known to someone other than himself and he needs to take steps to protect himself from whomever that person is. I really like that Chariss has written a character that has to go through steps to learn to defend himself and that the character doesn't just automatically have that ability. I like that Mike isn't sure who to trust and that sometimes his decisions are not always wise. The book does end on a cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to others who enjoy this genre. David Williams' narration is good and adds to the entertainment of the book. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Extremely suspenseful with a hint of paranormal

For me it took me a chapter or two to get into the book as the author set the scene and developed the characters with the hint of that paranormal ability of some foreshadowing of the future. Michael doesn't have enough of the ability due to his fighting to hide it to do anything with it. As the story progresses, people begin coming after Michael and more of Michael's ability starts to emerge. The author does a great job of developing her characters and the plots and sub-plots throughout the book to keep you on your seat and listening to the book, When I got to the end I was actually looking to verify that I was at the end of the book and that there wasn't any more. The author had done such a great job leaving you with a major cliff-hanger. Looking forward to the next book in this series by this author.

Suspenseful

Absolutely intriguing. First for me by this author. Michael has Psychic abilities that he has to keep secret. The narrator brings you into the story and keeps you there until the end.

Loved the story but hated the ending.

loved everything about this audible!

The single best audible I've listed to this year
What happens when you have the ability to see into the future, and, someone very powerful wants that ability from you? You get a story filled with action, deceit and death. This is a must read for the year!!

The narration was excellent. Voices were perfect for the characters.

I received a free copy of this audible, I'm thrilled to be able to provide my review.

The first in the Vision Series

I loved this book! You may think it's a typical thriller mystery, with a predictable plot but...NO!
Michael is literally the most unassuming guy, he's just trying to live a mostly private life in order to protect a supernatural secret he posses. After 15 years of hiding this secret, he decides he wants to confide in his good friend from the college days; who is now a psychologist, about his ability. This encounter starts a sh*tstorm of incidents that draw the most unlikely characters into the story...
The ending is a cliffhanger that left no doubt as to how the second book turns out, and I can't wait!!
