Description:
You couldn’t arrest someone for killing in a past life. You couldn’t bring a civil suit against them, either. They could only be legally penalized for what they did this time around—and what a dark circus the legal system had been before that legislation passed! (It was still a dark circus, but perhaps not as dark.) But you could spot them, and watch them. You could set traps for them.
Leah Nazir is an Insighter. Reincarnation is her business. But while her clients’ pasts are a mess, Leah’s is nothing short of tragedy. She’s been murdered. A lot. If left to that bitch, destiny, it’ll happen again. Leah wants to know who’s been following her through time, and who’s been stalking her in the present…
P.I. Archer Drake has been hired by Leah’s mother to keep an eye on her. But the more time he spends watching, the more he finds himself infatuated. Before long, he even finds himself agreeing to help find the person who wants her dead. Over and over again.
Now going full-on “rewind,” Leah hopes it can stave off the inevitable. After all, she’s grown fond of this life—and even fonder of nerdy Archer. But changing her pattern means finding out who her killer is today. And as Leah fears, that could be anyone she has come to know and trust. Anyone.
Review:
Deja Who by MaryJanice Davidson is the first book in her new Insighter series. It is my first book by Davidson, and I have admit it was interesting, at times fun, and also kind of confusing. The premise of the story is about Insighters, who have the ability to read people and the lives they lived in the past. It started off a bit wild, giving us a look at our heroine, Leah, who is a Insighter consultant that helps people face their current and past lives. It kind of threw me off, as she can see the lives of this one person, some being famous murderers. Leah’s job is to help them improve their lives and accept the past, especially those with nightmares.
Enter our hero, Archer, who was hired to watch over Leah, by her mother. Archer, is a bit weird, but he quickly expresses his love for Leah. He is also the one person she cannot read. Leah herself, is in a predicament. In each of her lives, she keeps getting murdered, and is trying find the person who follows her into each life. Archer will join hands with Leah to find her killer, and stop him before he kills her again.
It is difficult to write this review, as it really was a different type of read. I was also not used to Davidson’s snarky and funny dialogue , which was fun at times, and even annoying at times. I liked Leah and even Archer, though he was a bit quirky.
What follows is an excellent story about finding her killer, and her falling in love with Archer. The last third of the book was exciting, with a good resolution. If you enjoy a different storyline that delves partly in the past, and fun snarky dialogue, then this would be a good series for you to try.
