This is the third book I've read in J P McLean's unique and superbly written fantasy thriller series. As I've mentioned in an earlier review, this is not a genre I typically pick up but I was intrigued by “the gift” that the protagonist, Emylynn Taylor gets from a woman on the beach. It's a gift that puts her in league with those who have similarly been gifted, and soon she's swept up into a world that challenges her in ways unimagined.
The very appealing man she comes up against is Jackson, but he isn't what he first appears to be. It's in this novel, The Gift: Betrayal, that we learn about his motives and why he acted the way he did when he first encountered Emylynn. What I marvelled at was the author's ability to draw the male character so well, and also her skill at portraying intimate, sexual acts up close. For those readers who want a trip to a world we can only dream of and like their sex graphically portrayed, this is the series for you.
