Publisher Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Eve Duncan novels comes Iris Johansen's The Perfect Witness.

She had the perfect life.
She had the perfect cover.
She was the perfect witness.
Until they found her.

When Teresa Casali was young she discovered she had a strange gift: the ability to read people's memories. But the gift seemed more like a curse as her mob boss father used her to gain the upper hand in his world of corruption and violence. Exposed by her own family to the darkest impulses of mankind, Teresa is alone and unprotected. She realizes that if she is to survive, she has to run.

Out of nowhere, or so she believes, a man by the name of Andre Mandak appears. He kills her pursuers—but that's not nearly enough for Teresa to trust him. It is his promise to get her into Witness Protection, along with his mind-blowing ability to help her control her gift before it consumes her, that convinces Teresa Casali to become Allie Girard. Living a normal life with a new family, she shuts the door to the past …although Mandak is clear: when the time is right, he too will benefit from her powers.

For years Allie flourishes …until the day her cover is blown and the truth comes tumbling out. Once again she is on the run, with her own life and those of her loved ones at stake. But this time she will not be a pawn. This time she will use her finely honed gift to end the threat that began with her family's betrayal. From perfect target to perfect witness, Allie Girard is ready to take on the past even if it kills her.

Excellent Read!

This book grabs you at the beginning and never lets go! I'm just starting to read books by this author and I'm finding her brilliant and entertaining. Looking forward to reading some of this author's past books bc this book really sold me on her. Loved it!

No.

It was an interesting premis but I couldn't get down with the repetitive and mundane writing. The thoughts in the main character's head is childish and petulant. The author uses the same choice phrases over and over. How many times can he curse and she moistens her lips??! Also, I felt like the author wasn't exactly hip to how a teenager or a 23 year old would act or talk, then I flipped to the back cover and saw how mature the author is and realized I was right.

Boring

This has to be one of the worst books ever starts off interesting but the repetitive dialogue inside the main characters head was enough for me to scroll to the ending and give this review - what a waste of time!
