At the Edge by Cait London - Nice start to a new series

Claire, Tempest, and Leona: triplets blessed—or cursed—each with a special extra sense that they would deny, given the chance . . .

Claire, the youngest, finds solitude and escape in rural Montana. The descendant of an ancient Celtic seer, she struggles to conceal her unsettling power to sense what others feel—the good and the evil, the pain and the joy.

When her peace is shattered by her new neighbor, Neil Olafson, Claires shielded emotions start simmering. Hes the opposite of everything shes ever wanted, a man who ignites her latent sensuality. And while her eerie powers have frightened others away, Neil isnt running. And when Claire comes face-to-face with danger, he becomes her protector—as well as her lover.

Now, Claire and Neil must confront the past and save the life of a young innocent. But there is a killer lurking in the background who wants them both dead before they can unravel his dirty secrets. And hes been very busy . . .

Nice start to a new series
Claire and her two sisters come from a long line of psychics. Claire's particular talent is that of an empath, being able to feel other people's emotions, though she views it more as a curse. In order to protect herself and her family after a couple of traumatic times in her life, she moves to a small house out in the middle of nowhere. She gets along quite fine out here until her only friend, her elderly neighbor, Eunice, dies. Suddenly she's faced with having to be around people again and having to come to terms with her past.

Neil Olafson inherits his Aunt Eunice's house upon her death. At this point in his life he's lost everyone he's ever cared about, except for his brother. Feeling alone and unsettled about his past, he decides to move into her house and set up his business of building small campers there. Once he meets his neighbor, however, he's thrust into a world he never dreamed existed.

At The Edge is the first book in a trilogy that Cait London is writing about three sisters. The second book, A Stranger's Touch was released in April 2008. I cannot wait to start the next book!

This book is incredibly well-written and keeps you turning page after page. It's a spellbinding mystery wrapped in a delicate romance, smothered with family values, with a nice side dish of the paranormal. The characters become dear friends that you truly hate to let go of at the end of the book.

Thankfully the mystery and family continue into the next book, and I'm assuming, the third book. Several parts of the book are so heartfelt that I found myself sniffling. I thought Cait London was a good writer before, with her shorter romances that I`ve read, but she has evolved into an excellent writer who I definitely plan to fill up my keeper shelf with.

I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys romance, paranormal, or mystery stories.

Armchair Interviews agrees.
