Hide’n Go Seek: A Psychic Visions Novel

Written by Dale Mayer

Narrated by Suzanne T. Fortin and Patricia Santomasso

Book 2: Psychic Visions

Celebrated search-and-rescue worker Kali Jordon hides her psychic abilities by crediting her canine partner, Shiloh, with the miraculous recoveries made over the course of her career. The Sight Kali inherited from her grandmother allows her to unerringly track dark waves of energy back to victims of violence. She's managed to keep her secret safe, until a maniacal killer challenges her to a game of extreme Hide 'n Go Seek that threatens the lives of those closest to her.

Pragmatic FBI Special Agent Grant Summers has sworn to protect her, but Grant's own honed skill of sensing what's beneath the surface goes haywire each time he's around Kali and Shiloh. He's certain there's more to both of them than meets the eye.

As the killer cinches a tighter and tighter web around Kali, there's no longer any place for them to hide. As she has so many times before, can Kali's visions allow her to trace the latest victim's whereabouts before it's too late, or will this diabolical game of Hide-and-Seek cost her everything?

Reviews for Hide’n Go Seek

[paulagalvan-323293 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This second book in the series introduces new characters, almost like a stand-alone book, except for the psychic Stephen, but the dynamics were pretty much the same. A beautiful girl, Kali, who is a search and rescue worker, knows she has special powers, but has never really figured out what they are or how to use them, until a murderer targets her. Then she starts discovering and using her unique psychic abilities. Grant, the FBI agent assigned to protect her, turns out to be a friend of Stephen and doesn't balk at any of it, but rather is very good-looking, understanding, and protective.Of course, they eventually fall in love. In the second half of the book, there was a lot of distracting action that didn't really add to the story and seemed to slow the flow, but the end wrapped up quickly, as did the first book. Entertaining, but predictable.

This book sounded too good to be true. I had all the elements I like in a book (mystery, romance, dogs with some psychic abilites thrown in as well. Once I started reading it I was hooked - I didn't want to put this down and ended up sneaking around at work to finish it (gotta love ebooks). I'm already searching for the other books in the series - Dale Mayer you have a new fan!

An excellent addition to my stash of paranormal romantic suspense. I found 'Hide'n Go Seek' compared favorably with Kay Hooper's Bishop series, with believable, well developed characters and none of that smarmy rushed romance often found in other books in the genre. The plot twists were fascinating, the search and rescue parts well researched. My only gripe was that Kali's house was impossible: the ocean beaches are at least a good hour and a half drive west from Portland, OR, not a mere 15 minutes from town "to the south between Portland and Salem". A nit-picky point, but it jarred me out of the story every time it came up. Overall, a very enjoyable read, highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Tuesday's Child, but this one was just phenomenal. I feel like I've strayed away from my first true love (as far as books go), which is romantic suspense and while reading Hide'n Go Seek I was reminded why I loved that genre in the first place. In fact, the first series I ever became enamored with was Kay Hooper's Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series, and in some ways the Psychic Visions series by Dale Mayer is reminiscent of that (and I think I may have mentioned that previously after reading Tuesday's Child). The characters were all extremely well written. By the end I felt like I knew each of them individually and seriously hope they have a place in future installments to this series. Kali is the fearless, determined, compassionate female lead. She and her dog Shiloh travel to disasters around the world looking for both survivors and victims, to bring them home to their families. Her work is completely selfless and emotionally she is put through so much that most people would not be able to handle it. I think she feels like it is her duty to help these poor unfortunate victims, since she has a special gift: she can sense where people are buried, if they were killed by violent means. I loved her determination; for example, one part of the book has Kali leaving the hospital against advice in order to potentially save someones life. I wouldn't say I pitied her, but it was hard not to feel bad since she didn't really have anyone to confide in. She had very few close friends and virtually no one knew of her abilities because she knew the suspicion and disbelief that would follow her if her secret was to get out. Grant, Special Agent for the FBI, was the perfect missing piece to Kali's life. He was not shocked by her psychic abilities at all, since he was already friends with Stefan (who we met in Book 1) and wanted nothing more than to make sure Kali was safe. Of course he wanted to stop the killer from taking more victims, but she was his number one priority. He was strong, handsome, confident, and dependable, so what's not to like there? Another very prominent character throughout the story was Stan, the founder of the Second Chance search and rescue center where Kali works. He was really like a father to her, as well as one of her closest friends and confidants. He helps her through some extremely tough times and he's the one that initially introduces her to Grant (talk about a great matchmaker, even if he did only introduce them for more serious reasons!).The chemistry between Kali and Grant was unmistakable, and I appreciated the fact that it wasn't forced. Circumstances being as they were, they weren't able to fully explore their relationship, yet the feelings were obviously there. Some books try to force relationships, having the main characters shacking up, with murderers breathing down their necks or at other inappropriate times, but thankfully this book wasn't like that at all. When Kali and Grant are finally able to be together, it simply makes you say "Finally!" and I was so happy for both of them. What made it even sweeter is that Grant had been pining for Kali for many years, and things finally fell into place where he could get to know her; it's definitely seemed like it was meant to be!I have read other books like this before, but this one still managed to feel fresh and exciting. I love the psychic part of it, with the main characters each having some sort of extra sense to help track down victims and killers. I think Kali's "Sight" would be a very dark, depressing power to possess, but at least it's not violent like Sam's was in Tuesday's Child, where she could feel exactly what the victim was feeling. Makes me shudder just to think about that! I hope we get to see more of both Sam and Kali in the upcoming installment(s) of the series; Sam was mentioned once, by Stefan, but we didn't get a chance to reconnect with her. While I enjoyed the first book in the series, Hide'n Go Seek completely blew me away. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat, praying that they would find the victims in time. It really rekindled my love for romantic suspense and I absolutely can't wait to find out where the series takes us next!
