The FBI Psychics, Book 3

Synopsis: AN ETERNAL DESIRE
With his strong psychic ability, FBI Agent Joss Crawford longs for the woman he loved in a past life. But after years of searching, a new case is drawing him into the last place he’d ever want to find her: an underground slave ring. Going undercover to infiltrate the network, he meets Drucella Chapman–the mastermind’s fiancee. Joss has every reason to believe she’s evil. So why is he irresistibly drawn to her?
A DANGEROUS GAME
Drucella has made it her personal mission to bring the slave ring down. But the sadistic ring leader is even more careful than he is cruel. In order to gain information, Dru has had to get close to the very man she wishes to kill, psychically reading his memories bit by bit. she’d do anything to finish the job, but agreeing to marry him may have been a step too far–even for her.
A FATEFUL ENCOUNTER
Though Joss and Dru are both undercover, nothing can disguise the sense of deja vu they experience when they meet. Neither can afford to be distracted from the mission at hand, but perhaps their reunion is exactly what this mission needs…


Review: I heard a lot of nice things about Shiloh Walker and it is true that I was curious to discover one of her books. Here is the third volume of the FBI Psychics series, a series I did not know anything about but which was quite nice. I didn’t have any problems to understand the story or the characters. But it is true that we immediately understand that the previous volumes have featured Dez and Taige. We meet them a lot in this new volume, and I confess I was curious to see how they have each met their mate.

We find this time Joss, a man so atypical. He doesn’t have any specific powers, but he can use the gift of others when he needs to. Like a mirror. Since his youth, he seeks and dreams of one of his past lives, including a young woman he loved. Abandoning all hopes to find her, he always thinks about their past again and again. But his life will be turned upside down by his new assignment. He has to work undercover to bring down an underground slave ring where young women live in the most atrocious manner. But the power he has to take for this mission is not easy to master and it’ll take him in darker regions.

Dru works independently of any government and she has worked for almost two years to bring down the organization that uses women as slaves and sells them to the highest bidder. But becoming the woman she is not and living like that every day more, has affected her more than she would have thought. But as she doesn’t have yet enough evidences, she tries to remain what she should be. She is abused, followed, and handled in the worst way. But this mission had led her farther than she would have thought and she must now marry the man she wants to destroy. She does not really know how things went so far, but she hopes to finish the investigation before coming to such extremes. But Patrick, the terrible monster, is still very cautious of his actions, and even if Dru is able to read his memories, she fails to collect the necessary evidence. She would love to kill him, destroy him after all the things he did to her, but she can’t do much without losing everything she has worked so hard for. And when she met Joss, something in her wakes up, as if she knew him from another life.

Joss is a determined man. I was quite impressed to see that he had spent his life trying to fin a woman he does not even know. While our young heroine is rather suspicious, Joss knows they’re meant to be together whatever she could say. Well, he is so obsessed by the woman he loved so much, and now she is here, it’s impressive. But Dru is focused on her mission to the point that it became her entire life and she can not compromise herself before finishing what she has started. It’s really sad to see the person she has become in the hands of Patrick. But hope is reborn little by little and I enjoyed getting to know the woman she really was. The flash back of her past history was really exciting and I was curious to see what had happened to them centuries ago.

It was a pretty interesting story and I think I’ll try to read her other novels on occasion. I wonder if Tucker will be the next character to be featured and I’m curious to learn more about him!

The FBI Psychics, Tome 3

Résumé (traduction personnelle) : Un désir éternel
Avec sa forte capacité psychique, l’agent du FBI Joss Crawford aspire à trouver la femme qu’il aimait dans une vie antérieure. Mais après des années de recherche, un nouveau cas l’attire dans le dernier endroit où il espérait la retrouver: un camp souterrain rempli d’esclaves. En travaillant sous couverture pour infiltrer le réseau, il rencontre Drucella Chapman – fiancée du cerveau. Joss a toutes les raisons de croire qu’elle est diabolique. Alors, pourquoi est-il irrésistiblement attiré par elle?

Un jeu dangereux
Drucella a fait de sa mission quelque chose de personnel pour détruire ce camp d’esclaves. Mais ce chef sadique du réseau est encore plus prudent qu’il est cruel. Afin d’obtenir des informations, Dru a dû se rapprocher de l’homme même qu’elle veut tuer, lisant psychiquement ses souvenirs petit à petit. Elle ferait n’importe quoi pour finir le travail, mais accepter de se marier avec lui est peut-être un peu trop – même pour elle.

Une rencontre fatidique
Bien que Joss et Dru soient tous deux sous couverture, rien ne peut dissimuler le sentiment de déjà-vu qu’ils éprouvent quand ils se rencontrent. Mais ils ne peuvent se permettre de se laisser distraire de la mission à accomplir, mais peut-être que leur réunion est exactement ce que cette mission a besoin …


Avis : J’avais entendu de jolies choses au sujet de Shiloh Walker et c’est vrai que j’étais curieuse de pouvoir découvrir un de ses livres. Voici donc le troisième tome de la série FBI Psychics, une série que je ne connaissais pas mais qui était assez agréable. Je ne pense pas avoir eu de souci à comprendre l’histoire ou les personnages. Mais c’est vrai qu’on comprend tout de suite que les personnages précédents à avoir été mis en scène étaient Dez et Taige. On les rencontre beaucoup dans ce nouveau volume et j’avoue être assez curieuse de voir comment elles ont respectivement rencontré leur compagnon. 
Nous découvrons cette fois ci Joss, cet homme si atypique. Il n’a pas un pouvoir spécifique comme ceux avec qui il travaille mais il peut utiliser le don de ceux avec qui il fait équipage. Comme un miroir. Depuis sa jeunesse, il cherche et rêve d’une de ses vies antérieures et notamment d’une jeune femme qu’il a aimé et perdu. Ayant abandonné tout espoir de renouveler cette rencontre, il se repasse les événements passés encore et encore. Mais sa vie va être chamboulée par sa toute nouvelle affectation. Il doit travailler sous couverture pour faire tomber une vente de jeunes femmes qui vivent de manière des plus atroces. Mais le pouvoir qu’il doit emprunter pour cette mission est loin d’être facile à maîtriser et il l’emmènera dans des contrées plus sombres. 
Dru, travaille indépendamment de tout gouvernement et travaille maintenant depuis presque deux ans pour faire tomber cette organisation qui utilise des femmes comme des esclaves et les revend aux plus offrant. Mais devenir une femme qu’elle n’est pas et vivre ainsi tous les jours l’a plus affecté qu’elle ne l’aurait cru. Mais n’ayant pas encore assez de preuves pour quoi que ce soit, elle essaie de rester celle qu’elle devrait être. Se laissant maltraiter, suivre, manipuler de la pire façon que ce soit. Mais cette mission l’a mené plus loin qu’elle ne l’aurait pensé et elle doit maintenant se marier avec l’homme qu’elle désire détruire. Elle ne sait pas vraiment comment les choses en sont arrivées là mais elle espère pouvoir finir cette enquête avant d’en arriver à de tels extrêmes. Mais Patrick, le monstre terrible, reste très méfiant sur ses agissements, et même si Dru arrive à lire ses souvenirs, elle ne parvient pas à récolter les preuves nécessaires. Elle rêve de le tuer, de l’anéantir après tout ce qu’il lui a fait subir, mais elle ne peut faire grand-chose sans perdre tout ce pourquoi elle a travaillé si dur. Et quand elle rencontre Joss, quelque chose en elle se réveille, comme si elle le connaissait d’une autre vie.
Joss est un homme déterminé. J’étais assez impressionnée de voir qu’il avait passé sa vie à retrouver une femme qu’il ne connaissait même pas. Alors que notre jeune héroïne reste assez méfiante, Joss sait qu’ils sont faits pour être ensemble quoi qu’elle puisse lui dire. Il faut dire qu’il ne pense qu’à une chose, cette femme qu’il a tant aimée. Mais Dru est focalisée sur sa mission à tel point que c’est devenu toute sa vie et elle ne peut se compromettre avant d’avoir achevé ce qu’elle a commencé. C’est vraiment triste de voir la personne qu’elle est devenue sous la main de Patrick. Mais l’espoir renait en elle petit à petit et j’ai beaucoup aimé découvrir la femme qu’elle était réellement. Les flashs back de son histoire passée étaient vraiment passionnants et j’étais curieuse de voir ce qui lui était arrivé des siècles auparavant.
C’était une histoire assez intéressante et je pense essayer de lire les autres romans à l’occasion. Je me demande si Tucker sera le prochain personnage à être mis en scène et je suis curieuse d’en apprendre plus à son sujet !
