Library Journal Review: Best-selling author Johansen captivates readers with her latest suspense thriller. The paranormal element is eerily believable as Megan Blair, a Pandora with amazing psychic powers, suddenly faces her own mortality. Megan is working as a physician at an Atlanta hospital when she is contacted by Neal Grady, a man who knew her late mother. When Grady lifts his control of Megan, allowing her to experience the voices she hasn't heard in the 12 years since her mother's death, Megan agrees to help him capture Molino, the evil child-slave dealer who killed her mother. Together, Megan and Grady travel the globe in search of the Ledger, a centuries-old book detailing the descendants and financial holdings of the Devanezes, a family with strong psychic abilities. A white-knuckled race ensues as Molino, Megan, and Grady simultaneously search for the Keeper of the Ledger, and danger is never far behind. Scintillating love scenes between Grady and Megan fill the pages as the suspense escalates toward an explosive conclusion. Recommended for all public libraries.
