When I read the synopsis off the back of this book I thought "Eh- it will be mediocre", yet I was surprised. This book is better than mediocre, it's great! This book has been sitting on the bookshelf for quite some time and I am sad I didn't read it sooner!
Synopsis (from back of the book): Faye Rae Lambers is caught between two men...
Simeon, debonair and charming, and Michael, street-smart and sarcastic. Simeon thinks Michael is crude and base; Michael thinks Simeon is evil. Really evil.
When Rae's beloved mentor, Michael's father, dies, Rae discovers that he has been consulting a psychic and goes to see her. The psychic insists that the souvenir deck of cards from Rae's Egyptian vacation is actually the Forbidden Tarot, and that one of the men in Rae's life had something to do with her mentor's death. Rae can't believe that- Simeon is far too sophisticated to murder someone, and why would Michael kill his own father.
But the psychic insists that the dark spirit of the Tarot has taken form as one of the men in Rae's life. Rae must figure out whether it is Simeon or Michael before she loses her heart...and possible her life.
My thoughts: This book I rated a 4/5. The reason it did not get a 5/5 was because some of the storyline was really predictable and Rae received a message from her mentor that left clues that were not really elaborated on like they could have been. All in all though this book set up nicely for the next book in the series, The Dark Horse. Also it might be petty but I hated the name Faye Rae, yuck.
