Well so far I am feeling pretty good about this new year. I have kept all my New Years resolutions, and a few I haven’t even thought up yet. As a matter of fact, this is my best year yet! I’m going to just stay super still, so I don’t mess this up. Which shouldn’t be a problem, because I actually stayed up until midnight and could really use a nap right now.

Touched (The Marnie Baranuik Files Book 1)
A.J. Aalto
Genre: Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
The media has a nickname for Marnie Baranuik, though she’d rather they didn’t; they call her the Great White Shark, a rare dual-talented forensic psychic. Twice-Touched by the Blue Sense — which gives her the ability to feel the emotions of others, and read impressions left behind on objects — Marnie also has a doctorate in preternatural biology and a working knowledge of the dark arts. She is considered without peer in the psychic community. Then her first big FBI case ended with a bullet in one shoulder and a chip on the other, a queasy heart and a serial killer in the wind, leaving her a public flop and a private wreck. When the FBI’s preternatural crimes unit tracks her down at a remote mountain lodge for her insight on a local case, her quiet retirement is promptly besieged by a stab-happy starlet, a rampaging ghoul, and a vampire-hunting jackass in tight Wranglers. Marnie figures the only real mystery is which one will kill her first. Too mean to die young, backed up by friends in cold places, and running with a mouth as demure as a cannon’s blast, Marnie Baranuik is about to discover that there’s no such thing as quitting time when you’re Touched.
