Abby Cooper, psychic eye

You know the saying "don't judge a book by its' cover"? Well, I definitely do. For better or worse, if a cover catches my eye, I want to give it a try.

I was browsing Audible one day when this cover caught my eye along with the title: Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye. Now, lately I've been in a biography/memoir mood for my  audiobooks. Especially when they are read by the author. I've tried different fiction works but they simply haven't been keeping my attention lately. Until now.

Elizabeth Michaels did a great job at making Victoria Laurie's first installment of the Psychic Eye Mystery series come alive. She kept my attention throughout the entire book and kept me so entertained that I didn't even switch to Pandora radio during my commute. Not an easy feat lately to be honest. 

This book took a new look on psychics/intuitives. I loved the way Abby stayed true to herself and I found her and Dutch to be incredibly amusing. Probably not the way their relationship was intended to come across, but I was amused all the same. 

I am definitely interested to see more of the sisterly dynamic between Abby and Kat as well as to see the relationship between Abby and Dutch develop. I'm sure Abby's next adventures will be just as captivating as this one. And I will definitely be continuing this in audiobooks.

I really don’t like the writing in this book. What do I mean by that? I mean that the main character, Abby, makes no sense as a real person. It makes adult women sound like poor responding children. When I’m made at someone, particularly someone I’ve only met twice, I don’t let them just walk into my house and help themselves to my food without getting upset.

In fact, I have had people who did that, and I know how I responded. Cool and stand off and got them out of my house as soon as possible. Yeah, those people late became good friends of mine, but that level of trust is a thing to be earned.

Not to mention, getting jealous over a guy that you barely know who is only trying to keep you safe. And she acts so… irrationally, given the information that she already knows.

I…. don’t know if I will be giving the second novel a shot. I found this murder mystery series listed in …. some list of series to read. The mystery was... not the greatest either.
