I read a good book recently, y'all. Let me tell you a little about it. Gypsy Hunted is a psychic mystery suspense/thriller, book one in the Gypsy Shields series. The action in the book is told from multiple points of view, including that of Gypsy's hunter. The reader knows his/her identity, so the case is only a whodunit for the police. (There is also a secondary mystery, a true whodunit, involving the confidential police reports taken by the first victim.) Gypsy's POV is told in first person; the others' in third person.
Here are just of few of the reasons I enjoyed reading Gypsy Hunted. I like Gypsy herself, because she is such a strong character, with a very strong willpower. By sheer determination and much practice, she recovers her speech ability and fine motor skills much sooner than the doctors had expected, within days of the accident, instead of it taking weeks as usual. Other favorite characters are Connor, blind date / detective in charge of the case, and Gypsy's niece Renee, a precocious 13-year-old who shares a psychic connection with her aunt. This connection proves to be crucial to the case.
I like how the relationship between Gypsy and her younger sister Leah changes during the novel. In the opening scene, as she is walking to the restaurant to meet her blind date, Gypsy reflects on the irony that one of her most favorite people in the world, her niece Renee, is the daughter of one of her least favorite people, Leah. As young children, the sisters were close - until Gypsy's puberty began. This closeness was torn asunder by Gypsy's hormonal bombardment, parental favoritism, hurt feelings, and misunderstandings by both sisters. An unexpected and quite positive result of Gypsy's accident is their reconciliation, following their first real heart-to-heart talk in many years.
I enjoyed reading Gypsy Hunted by Andrea Drew. I look forward to reading more about Gypsy - and, hopefully, Connor, Leah, and Renee - in Gypsy Cradle and Gypsy Curse.

Felt it did not live up to the description of the book, I expected more.
Alternating chapters have a different character providing the narration. Resulting in a lack of continuity, I was left with not knowing where in the story I was or which direction the story would take. Too jumbled for my reading comfort.

Gypsy Cradle(Gypsy Series #2) by Andrea Drew
Gypsy is happy with her new boyfriend Connor, things seem to be going right in her life. Then she has a strange strange vision of a rocking cradle, and an eerie little girl named Isabella. She tells Gypsy that Connor’s niece Christie is in danger from someone she trusts. But Christie does not believe her, neither does Connor.
Gypsy's relationship is already strained with Christie, and Connor still is not sure he can believe her (Gypsy). This puts a strain on their relationship. But Gypsy is determined to get to the truth save Christie, regardless of who believes her. It seems only the spirit Isabella and Gypsy's young niece Renee can help her.
I really like Gypsy, she is kind, down to earth, and her special ability (to hear other peoples thoughts) makes her unique. Young Renee shares the same ability, and is able to communicate with Christie, through their minds without speaking out loud. She is just as likable. Then we meet Isabella, a young "spirit" who just wants to help. She was likable too.
A well written fast paced edge-of-your seat paranormal/thriller. Family secrets in Christie and Connors lives surface, which adds to the page-turning suspense. There is just enough drama, romance and suspense to make for a perfect blend in this exciting, original paranormal/romantic-thriller. Great as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading book one Gypsy Hunted.
I also love the cover art, it fits perfect with the story. I was lucky to get a chance to read and Arc copy of this fantastic story. Available April 27, 2015.… (meer)

Didn't care for.
To 'YA' for me.
I couldn't get into it. Hard to connect to the characters.
Oddly written. Jumpy. Very Jumpy.
No Adult Romance.
This is NOT an Adult book. It IS Young Adult.… (meer)
