About this listen

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.

So much potential

Marnie is half super smart and half the dumbest person ever. I listened to half the book but then I couldn't continue after Marnie ignored another occasion to use her power to help figure out who big meanie is. There were other plot issues with the book but this is what ruined it for me... The book could be so good, it has so much potential!

Hilarious

I loved the humour, characters and of course Marnie. The reader was fantastic to listen to as well.

Story was good but too much distraction

This would have been an amazing book if every other paragraph was not just talking about sex. Not sure all the good books are ruined by this type of writing. A little steam is good but this was just annoying.
