Mikki is sixteen years old famous painter and she can feel others strong feelings or pain but after she witnessed a murder, not only police became interested in her. Mikki's curiosity drive her to solve the case on her own even it could be very dangerous.
Author's style was really my taste, even he used some clichés and not original thoughts he was able to put them in the story by the amusing and interesting way so I was able to enjoy it. And of course I love his sense of humor.
Characters were well-made. Mikki was sometimes a little bit annoying at the start but it can be pardoned because it just go well with other characters. And I loved the chemistry between her and police officers. On the other hand Chris were quite a poitless element here. I mean he showed up, been with Mikki for a while and then just died in absolutely stupid way. Probably because of tension but it didn't work for me.
Story goes well too. It was interesting, sometimes little thrilling, and I really wanted to know more about Mikki's power and relationship with police officer. Yeah there were some things which didn't make sense or were obvious (Mikki told police what she saw even it would be impossible without her power so she became suspect, she get into dangerous club just to be caught and almost killed, Chris showed up just from a nowhere and has an interest for her) but overall I enjoyed it and it was really relaxing read.

Olivia works as organiser and her newest event is birthday party of vampire boss. It's quite a nightmare for her because she don't trust them even they declares themselves as harmless. But everything changed when she met Daniel.
A lot of story is about nothing, just some blabbing between Olivia and Daniel which didn't have any sense. I mean, she was freaked about vampires but two sentences from Daniel just convinced her that everything is just OK. Sorry but this is highly unbelievable. And what's worse, they can have some very intimate moment together. Surprisingly this was abandoned by greatly made plot twist which was expected but still made awesomely well.
Characters, well, in so tiny time I wasn't able to get into them. There wasn't any deeper things or precisely made background. Daniel got a little more of spotlight but still everything interesting was just spoiled by his resurrection and I am not a fan of those.
Overall. It had good idea but for me it was too short and unedeveloped.
