Publisher Comments:

Clairvoyant Cassie Plamer has inherited new magical powers — including the ability to travel through time. But it's a whole lot of responsibility she'd rather not have. Now she's the most popular girl in town, as an assortment of vamps, fey, and mages try to convince, force, or seduce her — and her magic — over to their side. But one particular master vampire didn't ask what Cassie wanted before putting a claim on her. He had a spell cast that binds her to him, and now she doesn't know if what she feels for him is real-or imagined...

Cassandra Palmer is heir to title of Pythia, the world's strongest clairvoyant. Normally the heir would be trained from birth, but Cassie isn't exactly normal. Being raised by vampires and living on the run have turned Cassie into someone on the fringes of every kind of society, not to mention that the whole being clairvoyant and seeing ghosts isn't exactly helpful if you want to blend in. Even worse she discovers that a powerful vampire put a spell on her to warn off any would be suiters and that a rouge wanna-be Pythia is trying to kill her. She has to try and take out the girl who is after her, while carefully avoiding any contact with men that the spell thinks may be a threat.

Karen Chance's first book was quite good, with only minor problems; this one is much better. Chance keeps the fab characters and interesting, high speed plot but fixes her pacing problems and her writing flows much more smoothly. I was delighted that I was correct and the author just needed to work through the kinks to write a brilliant story.
