Stephanie K. (Glendale, AZ)
Belief and Doubt in a Psychic's World
Sylvie Young's doubt that she's a "real" psychic gives Thomas Holmes plenty of salacious fodder for his next journalist effort which "has" to be spectacular, or he's fired. Their background traumas form a strange admixture with their career clashes and personal agendas as they both fight yet give into romantic love. In Thomas' mind, she's a psychic vampire, much like the so-called "medium" who fleeced his mother into bankruptcy. Is Sylvie just another phony or the real deal? As Sylvie tries desperately to reassure herself and the world of her integrity, Thomas does all he can to tear her down. Who or what will triumph in this war of the wills?

A mystery and love story with psychic focus
Whether you believe in psychic powers or not, this is a fairly entertaining mystery with a love story thrown in. In fact, I wish there were more scenes of the psychic readings and fewer of the romance, but that's just me.

How well can a psychic see into your past if she can't see her own?
If you are in the mood for a fun, light read that engages from the first page, why not give "Some of It Was Real" by Nan Fischer a try? When Sylvie, a young up-and-coming psychic who nevertheless doubts her gifts, collides with Thomas, a cynical newspaper reporter out to discredit her, they begin a journey that will illuminate the past and the secrets that lurk there. As they each confront their dark places they discover long buried secrets and explore the meaning of love, especially familial love, along with other topics like religion thrown in for good measure. There are a couple of bodice ripping instances so you may want to skip the steamy scenes if that is not your thing. Through it all Sylvie attempts to prove to Thomas - and to herself - that her psychic abilities are real. The real question, however, is can she convince you, her reader?
