Sarah Roberts has a unique problem. Routine blackouts occur to her on a random basis. What’s different about her temporary unconsciousness is she wakes to various notes written by her own hand. These notes are prophecies. Dark Visions. Future events of dire circumstances. Circumstances that she can avert, for Sarah is what they call an Automatic Writer. The novel begins with Sarah perched under a bridge with no idea why she’s there, except what the note said; Sit under the Elizabeth St. Bridge at 10:18am. Bring hammer. There’s a car accident on the bridge, plunging a vehicle into the river below. If Sarah wasn’t there at the right time, with the hammer to force her way into the car, people would’ve died. The novel’s intensity increases as more blackouts occur, causing her to note them down. Her next task is to avert a kidnapping. She’s done it before. Couldn’t be that hard. But on this one, the kidnappers recognize her and nab her instead of their intended victim. People are killed. Witnesses place Sarah at the scene. The police find her notebook riddled with prophecies of accidents and crimes. They want answers. They want to know how she has such information. All this happens while the eighteen-year-old star in this first novel of a trilogy suffers from trichotillomania, which means she’s a puller. Most of her hair is missing. The story has numerous twists and turns and finally ends with a massive climax and a lead in to The Warning, which is Part Two of this trilogy. Overall a great read, combining the likes of John Saul, and Dean Koontz.

The lead detective, David Hirst, calls on his friend Parkman for help and asks if he could bring Sarah Roberts along. Since Sarah is on a quest to redeem herself with her colleague Parkman after she had let him down in the past, she agrees to go to L.A. and do whatever she can to aid in the investigation. When they arrive, they head straight to the crime scene of yet another dead priest. With Sarah’s history of antagonizing cops, and a recent feature in newspapers around North America regarding the death of a Canadian officer, the LAPD don’t want her help. Within days, Hirst regrets his decision and asks Sarah and Parkman to leave. But the killer has other plans. According to the Bible, since Sarah is an automatic writer and talks to her dead sister, she is a practitioner of witchcraft and she works for the devil. Therefore she has to die, too. Before she has a chance to leave L.A., the priest killer has carved her name into a small crucifix. What he has in store for her is reminiscent of Eve in the Garden of Eden, a snake and a very painful way to die. Sarah has the will to live, the tenacity to fight, and a little help from her sister on the other side as Vivian digs deep to change the way she sends messages to Sarah. But channeling through Sarah’s body and whispering to her takes a toll on Sarah, and she begins to feel and see Vivian’s thoughts and memories. While Sarah fights to save herself, she’s also trying to save her sanity as two vie for her consciousness. The Sarah Roberts Series Books in Order: 1. Dark Visions 2. The Warning 3. The Crypt 4.

Highly trained ex-special forces want their weapons back. And Sarah Roberts can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys or why they all seem to think she has their weapons. In a fight to stay alive, Sarah goes on The Hunt to uncover the people who put a bullseye on her back, while over a dozen mercenaries and armed ex-military types are hunting her. Sarah enters the battle blindly because her sister’s messages are still restricted, except for the one about how it will all end—in bloodshed and heartache.
