She can't picture his face.
But he knows hers.

Firefighter Jules Adler suspects her blind date with Officer Dante de Marco will not go well. When she witnesses a violent crime, the night goes from bad to worse fast.

Dante, the police sketch artist, is tasked with getting enough details from her to draw the killer. If only Jules could visualize the man’s face.

She and Dante are forced to spend a lot more time together than either would like, trying desperately to come up with a likeness. The problem is, with a ruthless psychopath closing in, that time is about to run out.

For fans of fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat suspense, slow-burning romance, humor, and deep issues of faith.

A cop and a firefighter walk into a pub. And so begins an edge-of-your-seat mystery that is no joke.

After the worst first date ever, Jules and Dante must evade a murderer intent on tormenting them. From pesky neighbors to the devil himself, suspects abound and his identity remains shrouded until the very end.

This is not a cute, predictable love story. Deep characters and a well-thought-out progression of events, along with a mutual faith journey, will keep you guessing and engaged from page one. I definitely loved the characters’ spiritual advancement through it all, with profound conversations and authentic mutual development as they deal with past and present pain.

Eye of the Mind is a satisfying, suspenseful tale that is difficult to tear away from. If you like Christian mystery novels, from authors such as Colleen Coble and Dana R. Lynn, then this is one not to miss.

Do you ever finish a book and just thank God for the gift of that author’s writing? The witness that the author gives? Well, that’s exactly what I did after finishing this one. 

This book had me in its grip from the first page and did not let go. Well, until night came. Then I had to let IT go (note to self: don’t read mind-game books after the sun goes down and your husband works nights). 

This is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

I loved the tagline: She can’t picture his face. But he knows hers. This alone made me wonder why? What’s happening? I was eager to open the pages and find out.

 “Eye of the Mind” is not just a suspense novel but an experience, reflecting what could happen in real life. The beginning blind date disaster sets the stage for some great interactions and soul searching later in the story. 

I learned something new as I had never heard of aphantasia, a neurological disorder that prevents a person from picture memory. How horrifying it would be to observe a murder and not be able to remember facial details. I’d be looking over my shoulder and examining every face I came across.

This book was fast-paced, had suspense, and a slow burn romance. I also appreciated the faith elements in the story. 

I will be returning to this one again. Great book!

Eye of the Mind is a fast-moving Christian romantic suspense novella layered with thriller twists and psychological intrigue. The emotionally charged story hooked me from the beginning and never eased its hold. 

The smartly woven storyline features a compelling cast of characters headlined by firefighter Jules Adler, who witnesses a murder, and police sketch artist Dante de Marco. The couple must work together in a race against time and a relentless killer to reconstruct a memory and a face Jules cannot visualize due to a rare neurological trait. I enjoyed how their romance unfolds reluctantly, sparked by danger and deepened by the unexpected trust they are forced to build as the killer closes in. 

I appreciate the inspiring faith thread that explores misconceptions about God and trust in difficult circumstances. I thoroughly enjoyed this quick yet satisfying read and highly recommend it.
