    About this ebook



    Born of an ancient family of clairvoyants, Marley Millet finds that her psychic gift is both unsettling and incredibly dangerous. She never wants to "travel" again--but the choice is not hers to make.

    After glimpsing the fates of two missing New Orleans jazz singers, Marley knows she has no choice and must speak up before more women disappear. Flinty cop-turned-writer Gray Fisher, who interviewed both chanteuses before they vanished, takes a special interest in Marley's incredible story--and in Marley.

    Scouring the wild clubs of the French Quarter, Marley and Gray make an unlikely and uneasy team. But their determination is matched only by the heat between them...and the evil they have uncovered.

      Unfortunately, didn't enjoy it so much. Read it more to see where it was going to go/to finish it, not because I liked it. :( I was hopeful it would get better but....
    • 4/5
      "Out of Body," Stella Cameron's start to her "Court of Angels" trilogy, combines both paranormal romance and suspense to create a compelling story. Set in New Orleans, the story follows Marley Millet, a young woman born into a family of gifted (or cursed) psychics, and Grey Fisher, a former NOPD cop turned investigative reporter. Local chanteuses have gone missing in recent weeks--women Grey had met to interview and whom Marley has seen in her visions. When one of these women turns up dead under mysterious and obviously violent circumstances, the rush is on to locate the others before it is too late. Grey's friends on the Force are not so understanding of Marley's insights into what is happening or Grey's association with the missing women. Marley is haunted by the vague clues that she needs help to understand while she and Grey are drawn to each other. All of this is set against a background of Marley's unusual family, their history, and paranormal lore that guides their gifts and lives. Oh. And there is the family "Ghost" as well as an adorably snobby Boston Terrier with a plastic bone. The characters in "Out of Body" are interesting and grab the readers attention. Marley's family is eccentric, somewhat mysterious, and thoroughly entertaining, with promising hints for more in future novels. While the romantic side of this Paranormal Romance is a bit on the lean side, the suspenseful aspects make up for it. Overall, a very enjoyable read and excellent start to the "Court of Angels" trilogy. I can't wait for the next one!

      i read the first chapter and quit, cover and blurbs looked good but book isn't. Very glad it's a public library book and I didn't waste money on it. Have read some of her other books and they were OK.

      2 Stars

      Synopsis:
      Born into an ancient family of clairvoyants, Marley Millet is no stranger to the unsettling aspects of the psychic world but now she has encountered a dangerous foe. After witnessing the fate of two missing women, Marley teams up with former cop turned writer, Gray Fisher. Can these two unlikely allies uncover the truth before it is too late and an unspeakable evil takes hold in the world?

      Review:
      Psychic phenomena are one of my favorite premises but Out of Body fails dismally in this area. The book would probably have been better as a straight serial killer/romantic suspense story without the paranormal aspects.

      The plot moves at a snail’s pace and the writing is overly descriptive with some confusing jumps both in content and logic. The nature of the supernatural creature allegedly responsible for the victims’ disappearances remains unclear as does the identity of the actual perpetrator. Moreover, the supposed twist at the end is neither surprising nor exciting.

      The romance is lackluster and it is difficult to care about either of the characters. Marley and Gray are supposedly fated mates but their chemistry is non-existent and the explanation of their connection completely illogical. Marley is too independent and secretive. She doesn’t even trust the members of her own family and never asks for help even though she is in desperate need of it (definitely TSTL). Gray’s characterization is better. He has a traumatic past and it is interesting to see his developing abilities but the reason he is drawn to Marley remains unexplained.

      Out of Body is disjointed and confusing, and the secondary characters are not interesting enough to compel me to continue with the series.
    • 4/5
      Despite a very confusing beginning, Out of Body quickly builtinto a fascinating tale of the paranormal, with mystery and romance toboot! Cameron’s psychic characters are quite complex, and she choosesto explain everything about who they are and what their ‘powers’ arein a couple of chapters in the beginning as opposed to introducing themto us in a more organic manner. Those used to reading about theparanormal should catch on quickly, but I worry about a less experiencedreader. I give Cameron credit, though, for not writing about the sameboring vampires and werewolves everybody else is these days. The Milletfamily is more interesting because they’re different, even if it is alot to take in at first.Marley Millet has the ability to travel outside her body (although,oddly, never does Cameron use the words “astral projection” eventhough that’s clearly what her character is doing). Marley can alsoread minds and practice something called psychic martial arts, whichnever does get explained all that well. Marley gets involved in thedisappearances of some jazz singers and teams up with journalist GreyFisher to investigate. Grey has some paranormal talent himself, althoughit’s been suppressed. Grey and Marley engage in some Bonding (herword, not mine, another oddity of the Millet family) and set off tocatch a kidnapper/killer. Yay! Although the reader knows *what* isbehind the disappearances from the beginning, you don’t really know*who* and that creates the necessary suspense and mystery to keep youentertained.The only other issue I have with this book is the choice of“Marley” as the heroine’s first name. Ever since that dogmovie, I have a hard time not picturing a golden colored puppy when Iread that word.
