Seeing Eye Mate

**Courtesy of CK2S Kwips & Kritiques**

Tieran has resigned herself to living alone – with the exception of her Grandmother, who just happens to have been dead for ten years! A clairvoyant, Tieran’s visions can be set off with the merest touch, making dating quite a trick. Add to that the fact that most men run in the other direction when they learn of her psychic gifts, and she has given up on love.

Caelan would like nothing better than to find his mate – just not right now. As Pack Prime, it’s his duty to find the shape shifter who has been murdering the female mates in various packs before it’s too late. When Caelan meets his destiny in the form of Tieran Jones one night, his time starts running out, knowing the murderer’s show more ultimate target would be the mate of the Pack Prime.

Tieran’s visions might be the only way to save them all, but they seem to point to Caelan’s twin brother as the killer! Will he choose his mate, or his brother?

Seeing Eye Mate is only the second published work of Annmarie McKenna, and yet her writing skill is that of a seasoned author. With her tale of paranormal romance, McKenna proves she is no one hit wonder, knocking another one out of the ball park!

Pairing a hunky shape shifter like Caelan with a clairvoyant like Tieran affords the author the opportunity for an easy acceptance between the two lovers, with only slight trepidation regarding each other’s paranormal abilities. With this obstacle almost dealt with, the couple is left to struggle with their own fears and doubts, or rather, Tieran’s fears and doubts. While staged as a paranormal romance, the adversity we see is very human, rendering the story relatable to the average reader on a more personal level. We are left with a story that satisfies those of us who enjoy a good supernatural story whose problems can be easily understood and identified with.

That said, ‘Seeing Eye Mate’ does not lack for any of the steamy love scenes you would expect in a shape shifter tale, and Caelan earns a place at the top of the list of unexpectedly sensitive sexy alpha males we all dream of finding.

Tieran herself is a strong independent woman who is utterly confused by Caelan’s appearance in her life, and her own feelings about him. I would wager there are many women who will identify with Tieran’s inner turmoil concerning her relationship with Caelan.

The icing on the cake is that we have an exciting mystery underneath it all. McKenna once again proves herself adept with subtle twists and turns in the story, littering the saga with clues that only begin to coalesce as the mystery finally unfolds, and leaving no doubt that there isn’t a superfluous scene in the novel. show less

Way too many boring sex scenes with too little plot. Despite a murderer being on the loose and major threats to the family all these two can do is snark at each other and have sex. I know she is his destined mate, but honestly there felt like no real attraction between them at all.

A ridiculous story about a shape shifter murdering mates of pack members in order to become the "Prime" or leader of the pack. The story idea was a good one, but the characters did things that made them difficult to believe.

He’s a shape-shifting wolf, she’s a psychic and his other half. In order to catch a killer he has to rely on his Seeing Eye Mate.

Caelan Graham is on the hunt for a shape-shifter bent on killing female mates. As Prime, it’s Caelan’s duty to protect his entire pack, so it’s a good thing he doesn’t have a mate of his own to look after right now. Too bad the most alluring female has just walked past his nose.

As a clairvoyant, Tieran Jones has given up on men and their lack of understanding her gift—until Caelan. The man ignites her passion, sets off a vision of a gruesome wolf attack, then shows up in her bed. In wolf form. To top it all off, he keeps insisting she’s his mate.

When the attacks continue, Tieran’s visions show more evolve and point in one direction. Caelan’s twin brother. With a lack of physical evidence, Caelan must depend on Tieran’s sight for clues. An act making her a prime target. show less

I found Seeing Eye Mate boring. It's about a woman that has dreams and visions. She meets a shapeshifter (wolf) whom she is supposed to help. There is a shifter that is killing the mates of different packs. She's his mate, but she's unaware of the shifter society. Anyway, her visions are leading her to think it's his twin brother. It was obvious what was going on and that took out the suspense of the story. That being said, I don't plan on reading anymore of McKenna's work.

The Prime alpha Caelan is looking for the killer of the local packs' mates. He didn't need to find his own mate. That is until Tieran walked into his life.
