Amends: A Psychic Mystery Series
Carissa Andrews
(A Diana Hawthorne Supernatural Mystery, #2)
Publication date: July 23rd 2021
Genres: Adult, Mystery, Urban Fantasy
For as psychic as she is, shit goes sideways far too often around Diana Hawthorne.
Diana now has everything she ever wanted–her memories, and the soul mate she didn’t realize she was missing. There’s just one problem… the old gods expect her to make amends for her absence. And her work starts now.
But time lost at the oracle isn’t the only thing she has to atone for. Her friend Demetri was stripped of his powers–and it was all her fault. If she could just set things right, she’d feel a whole lot better about moving forward. Unfortunately, Demetri wants nothing to do with her and knows exactly how to keep her out of his head.
To make matters worse, in the age of social media, Diana’s abilities have gone viral. People from all over the world are clambering to get on her books. One case, in particular, hits her radar and despite herself, she can’t shake it. A 14-year-old boy is wrapped up with a deadly governmental agency and he’s scared to death. And he should be–they want to weaponize his power.
Torn between what was and what is, Diana struggles to fully embrace who she’s becoming. Will she be able to help Demitri and make things right? Or will her new role mean leaving the past behind?
Calling fans of KF Breene, Shannon Mayer, and Shayne Silvers! If you like snarky-fun humor, gripping supernatural scenes, and twists that leave you spellbound — then you will LOVE Carissa Andrews’ world built especially for Diana Hawthorne.
Stephanie’s 3 Star Oracle Review:
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
This is the first book I’ve read by Clarissa Andrews. I was not disappointed in the least. The story moves really quickly and it’s quite entertaining. We meet Diana Hawethorne – a well known psychic who can read people’s futures and she has quite a standing list of people who want to be read by her.
If only she could remember where she got these special gifts from. This book is the first in the series and it sets the scene for major changes in Diana’s every day life. In Oracle she meets Blake, a PI that she helps find a missing girl. He’s very doubtful of her abilities and doesn’t know how Diana actually finds the girl. He needs more to believe.
It doesn’t take long for him to come to the conclusion she’s something special. Especially in the romance department. In Oracle both Diana and Blake come into the truth about who they are and what their destiny holds. Though Diana is not happy about the realization of her expectations. I think it’ll work out in the end…we shall see.
Stephanie’s 3 Star Amends Review:
I received a free copy of this book from the author.
Amends picks up where Oracle left off, so if you’ve not read Oracle don’t read any further!
Once they figured out who they really were Diana and Blake had a lot of planning to do and changes to make. Also – telling their nearest and dearest was going to be a bit tricky, however necessary. Diana’s human assistant is a bit over the top and a little crazy. Needless to say he was the funniest one to “watch” his response to the news.
There is a lot going on in this story. You’ll need to pay close attention to the characters and what’s happening. Everything can change on a dime … Diana and her friends really have their work cut out for them.
One of the coolest things about this series is the connection to the Greek gods. There’s many books about them but few and far between that are set up like this series. The interaction between Apollo and Diana remind me of more of an older brother/little sister relationship. It’s special but they also get on each others nerves. HA!
Of course Diana and Blake are still figuring out who they are together in the present. I do hope they’re able to get their HEA one of these lifetimes. There is a third book coming and I’m looking forward to seeing what Diana has to come up against next. Should be a good challenge…as the Oracle always needs a good run for her money.
