Cold Sight: (2010-08-02) 
Aidan McConnell needed to get away from the world after a botched investigation/rescue was pinned on him. Getting away from anyone who might recognize his name was very important when Aidan picked out Granville to move to. This might have worked, except Aidan had to take his psychic abilities with him. Those abilities are not willing to take a vacation when Aidan is contacted by the last person he wants to talk to - a reporter.

Lexie Nolan is a reporter for the local paper. She knows news and how to scent it out. Lexie was hot onto the disappearance and deaths of several teens from their area when she was shut down, however, Lexie is not one to turn her back on what she believes is a serial killer hiding in their small town. Looking for any new angle, Lexie decides to brave approaching Aidan. She knows that after what Aidan was just put through, he might slam the door and not give her a chance but she has to at least try.

Aidan absolutely doesn't want anything to do with Lexie, her story, or the disappearance of the latest teen. But that changes in one instant and Aidan agrees to do what he can. The risks turn worse and it's obvious that someone doesn't want Lexie or Aidan to solve the mystery and find the killer. All the while both of them are tentatively stepping into a relationship neither expected to find. Aidan calls in friends - all members of a paranormal detective agency who can find out things others can't. The clock is ticking for several reasons as Aidan and Lexie search for a serial killer and look for a way to unlock their future together.

Take a man who doesn't want to feel and a woman who feels all too well and you have a team that can't be beat. Cold Sight combines Lexie's doggedness and Aidan's gifts to search for, and catch, a serial killer. I was struck by the varied differences between Aidan and Lexie from the beginning; she wanted to hunt out the killer and he just wanted to be left alone. A slow build up of their passion added to the suspenseful plot that succeeded in pulling me in and making me wonder just who was behind it. There was a couple of shocking twists that I had not expected but proves that you just can't take a small and sleepy town by its appearances. The beginning was a bit slow for me, but I found it well worth forging forward and found an ending that had me wanting the next book immediately. I loved meeting the other members of the team and can't wait to see what their stories will be. Cold Sight mixes deadly suspense with touches of humor, passion, and psychic abilities in a way that will have you leaning in your seat as the pages are turned.

4 1/2 Hearts from TRS!: (2010-07-23) 
Cold Sight is dark, edgy, gut-wrenchingly painful at times, and one of the best romantic suspense books of the year. The paranormal element is very light and I wonder if we'll see more in-depth paranormal activity in the future books. The introduction and help of the psychic detectives from eXtreme Investigations, the company Aidan works for, sets up the future books in the series.

I was hooked on this book from the very beginning but once the hero and heroine began their snappy dialogue, I couldn't put it down. I was enthralled by the very serious threat to the teenagers and Lexie and Aidan's intense chemistry. Both Lexie and Aidan were strong characters that had taken a hit professionally. I loved how Lexie was able to understand just what Aidan needed to help him bounce back. Lexie had integrity as a reporter with her main focus being on helping the teenagers. The character building is woven seamlessly into the fast paced plot and you can't tell the difference between the developing romance and the developing plot. It all flows perfectly. Secondary characters like the teenagers are great complements to the plot. Be prepared because the author doesn't spare any expense when it comes to her characters. No character is immune to the knife! The ending of this book is unlike any I've read before. Your emotions will definitely be touched - it haas heartbreaking tragic moments and will spark strong emotions in many readers. You've been warned - now go get this book. I can't wait to read the next Extrasensory Agents book. - Lisa Freeman

entertaining paranormal whodunit: (2010-07-10) 
Investigating a string of suspicious runaways, Granville Daily Sun reporter Lexie Nolan considers someone malevolent and sinister is behind the disappearances. As she digs deeper, her boss tells her to drop the story; stunning her as this has never happened before to the investigative journalist.

When another young girl Vonnie vanishes, Lexie knows she cannot live with herself if she quits. Instead she asks former Extrasensory Agent Aidan McConnell to help her find the latest missing person. Aidan informs Lexie he no longer searches for people after his last mission ended disastrously. However reluctantly he agrees to help as he finds himself unable to deny her anything. He has feelings he never allowed himself to have before he met sexy Lexie. They connect as they follow clues to Savannah.

This is an entertaining paranormal whodunit starring an intrepid reporter and a man with telemetric extrasensory psychometric abilities. The changing relationship between the pair is fun to follow as they investigate the abductions and murder. Although the villain is inane, fans will appreciate the first Extrasensory Agent urban fantasy romantic suspense due to the lead characters and Vonnie.

Delightful, enchanting story! I am looking forward to the next one.: (2010-07-09) 
I ran across Cold Sight a month ago while browsing prereleases and the book description interested me enough to pre order it. I promptly forgot about it until my kindle downloaded it the morning of the release. Perfect timing as I have spent the last 2 days off work and having a lot of time to read on my hands.

I give this book 4 stars because I loved the story line the, the characters and everything about this book. The only reason it isn't a 5 star is I didn't become totally enthralled with the book to the point of nothing else. I read the book almost nonstop but found myself sometimes becoming distracted by what I could tell was series building for the next book.

I am not going to outline what the book is about because if you want to know, you can read the description. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Aidan's and Lexie's Story and will definetly read the follow up books in this series to see what happens to the rest of the eXtreme Investigations team.

This is defintely worth buying if you find yourself even remotely interested "Cold Sight" after reading the description. In my opinion you won't find yourself regretting it!

Cold Sight : Extrasensory Agents by Leslie Parrish
Paranormal Romance - July 6, 2010
5 Stars

Aidan McConnell, a physic detective, left Savannah for Granville after a botched investigation that left his reputation and conscience in tatters. Unfortunately, his wish of living a peaceful life was not to be. Alexa Nolan, a small time reporter in Granville, believes that there's a serial killer at large, abducting and killing girls from the poor side of town. When another girl goes missing, Alexa has to race against time to find the killer and save the girl. She seeks out the help of the reclusive and reluctant Aidan and his friends - the extrasensory agents.

Parrish does an amazing job in this novel with her characters that have a witty banter between our hero, Aidan, and the plucky heroine, Alexa. Despite their rocky start, these two characters chemistry is very well-written and fleshed out. Parrish is not a gratuitous writer. The attraction between the two main characters is carefully maintained and lovingly crafted so that it builds up over time. The camaraderie between the Guy and the Girl is so vivid and fun to read that you root for those two to get together in the end, and not just in bed.

Parrish is an amazing writer who has created a very intense thriller and some parts of the book can be quite gruesome. The author is not afraid to push the boundaries and has no qualms about killing off one of the character. The story starts with a bang; from the very first page, she drops you right in the middle of the action and as the reader, you have no choice but to hang on tight and keep reading...or be left wondering. I definitely could not put it down. Parrish's novel is so compact and tightly written that the plot flows and is so organic. Unlike a lot of poorly written romance thrillers, Parrish does not just focus on sex and uses the plot as a background. You can't separate the romance from the plot or vice-versa. There are also other relationships going on in the book, from friendships to sisterly love that are equally poignant and well written. Simply put, this is one of those books where you have to read it because it is so good. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment of the Extrasensory Agents series.
