Sykes Millet is the strongest psychic
in the Millet family so far, but he isn’t in charge of the
family because of a family legend. Sykes is a bit different
than the others in his family, and he sometimes feels like
he is on the outside looking in. Sykes also sculpts statues
for clients he chooses. That is a personal thing only for
him, or at least until he gets a mysterious delivery.
Poppy Fortune runs her family’s
restaurant/bar Fortunes along with help from her
brothers when needed. While being a member of one the oldest
psychic families, it hasn’t been a good thing for her
family. And Poppy herself, seems to only have bits and
pieces of powers – nothing really helpful. A rash action
done years before makes Poppy believe that she can never
have the man she wants – Sykes.
Poppy and Sykes have never really
socialized together much believing that the other really
doesn’t want anything to do with them. That wrong impression
is shattered after one passion-filled night. Sykes is still
trying to decipher his strange delivery when it become
apparent that danger is surrounding Poppy. On top of that,
the Embran seems to be back, but different. When the body
count begins to rise, everyone hunts madly for answers that
just might finally let the Millets, and the other old
families of New Orleans, defeat the Embran once and for all.
Or will they be the ones defeated?
Sometimes your greatest love is just
under your nose. Out of Sight lets Sykes and
Poppy learn just that when they open their eyes and
feelings. Poppy told Sykes about her biggest mistake hoping
for answers, and now thinks him lost. Sykes has fought his
entire life against a family rumor, which has plagued him. I
wasn’t really surprised when Poppy and Sykes became lovers
just because I know that sometimes an old friend can become
your greatest love. Once again I was kept intrigued by not
only the discoveries that Poppy and Sykes were making, but
also by the plotting Embran. Intrigue, danger and passion
seems to follow the Millets and Fortunes. I loved watching
just how easy Poppy and Sykes fell into love while at the
same time wondering if they would have the time to explore
all that was before them. Ms. Cameron did answer a few of
the questions that had plagued me during the first two
books, but at the same time she left open many more
questions. Out of Sight is the melding of
passion, danger and mystery that is Ms. Cameron’s specialty
and she does not disappoint with Poppy and Sykes.
I was thrilled upon reading the final
letter in the hopes that soon there will be even more books
in the Court of Angels series, or at least in their world.
This is a series I will be re-reading again and bet you
will, too. |
