The next triplet's story.
At the tender age of ten, the Bartel triplets were taken from their home (without the mother's knowledge or consent) for testing at the Blair Institute for Parapsychology. What followed was three days of horrible experiments and testing before their mother, Greer, could swoop down and rescue them. Greer had been away, helping the police with a case at the time her three daughters had been taken. Those three days were so traumatic to the little girls that they would never be able to forget a moment of their time within the institute.
Tempest is the middle girl. Greer believes that Tempest holds more of their ancestors' Viking blood than the others. She is a fighter. With a light
touch
, Tempest simply KNOWS about the object's owner. At all times, Tempest wears gloves. In fact, she is well known for the hot pink elbow-length gloves she often wears. For so long she has been hunting a certain old brooch. This brooch has a sort of curse on or against her family. Finally, Tempest has the brooch almost within her grasp. Problem is the current owner, Marcus.
Marcus Greystone is used to women throwing themselves at him. He is handsome, rich, and goes through women like tissue. Tempest is the only one who had ever spent the night with him and left before he even woke up the next day. Marcus has a meticulously structured life now, the aftereffect of a chaotic childhood. He uses the brooch as bait, to lure Tempest back to him, and offers her a bargain: Tempest uses her abilities to help solve the twenty-one-year old cold-case murder of his parents near Lake Michigan and she may have the brooch.
Tempest, like her sisters, could be very vulnerable near water. Water could act like some sort of portal for danger. To help Marcus, Tempest must constantly be near Lake Michigan. Tempest is in danger from whatever evil entity is connected to the brooch. There is also danger from the mortal world. As Tempest digs into Greystone's past, someone begins getting nervous.
***** I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about this story. It grabbed me within the very first paragraph and never let me go. I repeat, it NEVER let me go. The characters are realistic. It is so well written that I could easily see and understand everything Marcus, Tempest, and the other Bartels felt. Make sure you have a quiet day ahead, order pizza, and turn off all connections to the outside world before you even open the cover of this gem. Absolutely fantastic! *****
