    “I have to know his name. It has to be today.” A student volunteered to be a student guide and he aims for a perfect performance until one student ruined it by breaking all the school regulations when it comes to proper attire and conduct, moreover he never tells his student information and left the guide with a kiss?!

    REVIEW: Dead Speak by Pandora Pine

    March 10, 2020 / 4 Comments
    36536722. sy475

    Cold Case Psychic: Dead Speak – Pandora Pine

    Demoted to the cold case squad after shooting a suspect in the line of duty, Detective Ronan O’Mara knows that his career with the Boston Police Department is hanging by a thread. His first assignment is the case of Michael Frye, a five-year-old boy who has been missing for seven years. With no new leads or witnesses to interview, Ronan has to start from scratch to solve this mystery. When he sees a handsome local psychic on television, Ronan figures he’s got nothing to lose in enlisting the man’s help to find Michael.

    Psychic Tennyson Grimm is riding high after helping South Shore cops find a missing child. He’s even being courted by the Reality Show Network about a program showcasing his abilities. He has no idea that his midday appointment with a customer, who instead turns out to be a police detective, is going to change the course of his life and his career.

    With the blessing of the BPD, which badly needs an image make-over, Ronan is allowed to bring Tennyson in to assist with the Frye case. Being thrown together in front of cameras is never easy, but add in an emotional missing person’s investigation, a tight-lipped spirit, and a cop who’s a skeptic, and it definitely puts a strain on both men and their working relationship.

    When the child’s body is found, the work to identify his killer begins. As Ronan and Tennyson get closer to solving the case, the initial attraction they feel for one another explodes into a passion neither man can contain.

    Will working together to bring Michael’s killer to justice seal their fledgeling bond, or will unexpected revelations in the case tear them apart forever?


    Whenever something somewhere happens, somebody shouts, screams, bellows. That somebody is usually Detective Ronan O’Mara, who as a police officer, certainly had no qualms yelling out confidential police info when his temper gets the better of him. I neither liked nor disliked the man. He was not a boring character, I’ll grant him that. But, jeez, get a hold of yourself, Ro!

    Tennyson ‘Ten’ Grimm is a psychic with the patience of a saint. He’s able to deal with anything from grieving parents to hot-headed detectives with equanimity. I dunno what he sees in Ronan but he’s a psychic a.k.a. he can read people, so I trust he knows his business

    Cold Case Psychic is a police+psychic procedural series that’s off to a 3-star start. Book 1, Dead Speak brought together the detective and psychic to work on a cold case of a missing child last seen 7 years ago. Their investigation was filmed for a reality tv pilot with the series name as their working title.

    It bothered me that these two seemed to forget they were being recorded. I know that’s the point of reality tv but still. They talk about details of the case that should have been secret. They fight and blurt out very personal issues right inside the car with voice activated cameras. And Ronan’s captain never even mentioned his lack of professionalism. At all.

    I would like to say I guessed the unsub early on but I didn’t. I only got the hint when I read the other reviews that complained about the villain being portrayed as pure evil. Probably if I was smarter or more invested (because at some points, I was just there for the ride) the glaring clues should have tipped me off. Heck, he was the only one who was consistently mean. Michael was slow to reveal the clues which made the story longer. This is understandable because he was a child, even if a ghost, and had to be handled sensitively.

    Even if I knew who did it, it was still enjoyable finding out the hows and whys. I still felt a sense of anticipation with the big reveal and the climax brought out the heebie jeebies. Sure, it was a bit OTT with the voices in the head thing but it was still effective.

    Ten’s growing found family was a pleasure to meet. The prequel is a must read for Carson and Truman’s story. They’re expecting triplets. Cole is Carson’s brother who is married to Cassie, who is Truman’s bestfriend and business partner. They have a 1 year old daughter, Laurel. The brothers are both psychics. Tennyson is mentoring them.

    All in all, I wasn’t wowed but I’m up for the second book. If you like a passable police procedural with a winsome family of psychics you might want to give this one a go. But skip if you’re looking for a stronger connection between MCs, a more professional police behavior and a more mindboggling case of whodunnit.

    Walking down the road
    I feel so low, low, low
    And I’m feeling like I don’t know life
    I don’t know, know, know
    There’s something in my head
    Something haunting me
    Something that I’d rather say
    Goodbye, goodbye

    It’s another deception
    It’s a voice that’s being cruel
    It’s the predator deep inside

    You meet a Bluebeard on the road
    He’s saying hello, hello
    And he shakes you by the hand
    He says you’re gonna blow
    Man you’re gonna blow
    He’s a clever person my dear
    He’s a clever one to fear
    He’s the one that says don’t open up that door

    It’s a monster, I can tell you
    It’s someone to be scared of
    It’s the predator deep inside

    He’s coming for you
    He’s coming for you now
    He’s coming for you now
    He, he sounds a little scary
    As he whispers, he tells you and you frown

    You’re losing, losing your ground
    You want to, move him out
    Deny he’s there
    But you can’t let out that he’s in your head

    It’s the predator
    It’s the predator who lives inside your head

    It’s the predator inside you
    It’s remarkable disguise–you
    It’s the mask you won’t admit inside your head

    Walk with the man at night
    He says he don’t know, know, know
    And he’s fucking with your head
    You don’t know, know, know

    It’s radio k-fuck
    It’s coming in loud and clear
    But the signals crossed
    You can’t shut it off
    And it knows no fear

    It’s a monster
    I can tell you
    It’s someone to be scared of
    It’s the predator deep inside

    It’s not the sharks outside you
    It’s not living
