Rachel de Luca has found incredible success writing self-help books. But her own blindness and the fact that her troubled brother has gone missing have convinced her that positive thinking is nothing but bull. Her cynicism wavers when a cornea transplant restores her sight. The new eyes seem to give her new life, until they prove too good to be true and she starts seeing terrifying visions of brutal murders--crimes she soon learns are all too real. Detective Mason Brown's own brother recently died, leaving behind a horrific secret. In atonement, Mason donated his brother's organs, though he's kept the fact quiet. Now he wants to help Rachel find her brother, but when he discovers the shocking connection between her visions and his own brother, he suddenly has to do everything in his power to save her from a predator who is somehow still hunting from beyond the grave.

I'm writing this review after many rereads so it's pretty biased.
Slow-burn, paranormal, romantic suspense.
This book is 10 years old now, so a few things feel dated but I think it still holds up. The paranormal aspect is very heavy and I think if you're already willing to read that you can overlook some of the unbelievability of other plot points.
Rachel and Mason are two very similar characters who both experience drastic, life changing, interconnected events. They end up investigating the same case while both trying to keep the other from learning their secrets.
The pacing is great, the dialogue flows really naturally, and although the tone of the writing can get a little cheesy sometimes I think it's a really strong paranormal, romantic suspense book. It's also worth noting it's a closed door, slow burn romance.
I'd recommend for an easy-to-read, slow burn, paranormal romance with the feel of a thriller.
