For a first book this one is pretty solid. I loved the aspect of the CIA recruiting people with special talents to help them out with crimes that don't seem to fit the norm. The team of women couldn't be more different, yet they seemed to gel and get things done as a whole, and really be there for each other when it really mattered. Sam and Ben had a weird relationship, one where they were so very professional for most of the time, then would slip to more personal, then be right back to business, for me it was weird. I would love to see more with this series. Sam Chase is an U.S. foreign agent who has a secret that she's kept hidden until now - she's got an inner voice that warns her when bad things are about to happen, and for years now have kept her safe living in one of the most dangerous places: Iraq. Instead of being newly assigned to Paris like she was hoping, she finds out she's been called back the States for a new project. She doesn't know anything about what it's about until she meets Ms. Z, an icy albino who's her new boss. Sam soon discovers that the reason she's been called is because of the one thing she's been dreading for years - the CIA know she's psychic and want to use her talents. But the thing is, she's never tried to call this voice, it's always happened against her wishes but now she's supposed to call on it at a moment's notice.She's been recruited to join a team of four strangers, four women, whom like her, have psychic talents. One is a voodoo priestess, another is a witch and the third can communicate with animals and has a dangerous past. Quite the group dynamic, and they're all moving into her house. They are project AngelWay They're wanted to solve a creepy and macabre case that so far, hasn't been able to be reasonably explained, mostly because the only possible explanation involves voodoo and zombies. Sam also finds herself partnered with Lance "Bear" Rutledge, a gorgeous forensic DOD investigator. The thing is Bear things all this paranormal stuff is pure hocus-pocus and Sam has to hide the fact that her and the other women are psychic and that the case they're supposed to solve is getting more paranormal by the second.The fact that they're attracted to each other definitely doesn't help matters. Bear tries to keep it in the pants but the chemistry is too much and next thing you know, their attraction is growing into something more. But their personal life has to take a second seat to their work, which is getting more dangerous the more they try to solve it. As they delve into the dark world of voodoo, unnatural forces have turned their evil eye Sam and Bear's way. Now their very lives depend on Sam being able to call on her voice to help her, even if Bear doesn't believe in any of it.Dark Nights, Dark Dreams is the first book of the Sisterhood of the Sight, a new series by Savannah Russe and I thoroughly enjoyed being introduced to this new world. The story is fast-paced, suspenseful and the chemistry between Bear and Sam is definitely super hot. The other women in AngelWay are a great addition. At times, Sam seems like the normal one compared to them but their characters were great and I'm hoping that the next in the series will tell me more about these women. Ms. Russe did a great job at keeping me on the edge wanting to know what was going to happen next in the case and between Sam and Bear, too. I'm very much looking forward to the next book in this thrilling new series.
What do You think about Dark Nights, Dark Dreams (2008)?
This series may develop, but so far it's not as good as her Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
