Hearing Evil
Cycle of Evil #2
by Jason Parent
Goodreads blurb: Michael Turcotte wants nothing to do with his
so-called gift—the ability to see other people’s fates simply by touching them.
Michael decides to spend his summer searching for answers about his past. He
can’t rest without the sounds of forgotten tragedy echoing through his dreams,
but reconstructing his memories will come with a whole new set of problems even
he can’t foresee.
Detective Samantha Reilly has always looked out for Michael, but now that she’s taken him into her home, she fears her maternal instincts are lacking. When a brutal gang sets off a chain reaction of crimes, Sam struggles to choose between the two most important things in her life: her job and her new foster son. Fate intervenes when Michael is kidnapped, forcing her two roles to collide.
As Michael’s past meets Sam’s present, their bond will be tested while a city crumbles around them. They’ll need all their skills and a lot of luck in order to survive.

About the Author: In his head, Jason Parent lives in many places, but in the real world, he calls
New England his home. The region offers an abundance of settings for his
writing and many wonderful places in which to write them. He currently resides
in Southeastern Massachusetts with his cuddly corgi named Calypso.
In a prior life, Jason spent most of his time in front of a judge . . . as a civil litigator. When he finally tired of Latin phrases no one knew how to pronounce and explaining to people that real lawsuits are not started, tried and finalized within the 60-minute timeframe they see on TV (it's harassing the witness; no one throws vicious woodland creatures at them), he traded in his cheap suits for flip flops and designer stubble. The flops got repossessed the next day, and he's back in the legal field . . . sorta. But that's another story.
When he's not working, Jason likes to kayak, catch a movie, travel any place that will let him enter, and play just about any sport (except that ball tied to the pole thing where you basically just whack the ball until it twists into a knot or takes somebody's head off - he misses the appeal). And read and write, of course. He does that too sometimes.

My Thoughts - 5 out of
5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review
based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this
book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I want to add this to my library in the
future!
The
cover is intense and grabs your attention!
This
is the 2nd book in the series, and I would recommend reading the
books in order. You will want to know
what happened previously especially with the other kids. This is for adults due to the violence.
Michael
and Detective Reilly are back as the main characters in this book. Michael has questions about his past and
family. Sam is trying to protect him as always. Bad things start happening all over town and
starting with the court house. Sam has a
bad feeling. Sam has a lot of trouble,
and Michael is a part of it. This book
definitely gives you some heebie jeebie moments throughout, and it kept me
guessing what was going to happen next!
And it always surprised me. I
really got hooked on Sam and Michael’s story!
Of course by the end there were more questions, so I need / want to read
the next book to see what happens next!
I
highly recommend to anyone who likes mystery, suspense, thrillers with some
paranormal, and tons of action! I couldn’t
put this book down!
Interested in reading???
See my review of Seeing
Evil (Book 1)
