Mind Over Matter by S.J. Clarke

Mind Over Matter (ASI, #1)Mind Over Matter by S.J. Clarke
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mind Over Matter is a book filled with cover up, secrets, lies, betrayal, and heartache, but also hope and love.

The book is about Rebecca who has been looking for her missing daughter for the last three years. While everyone else, even Rebecca's (now ex) husband, has given up hope of finding Sabrina, Rebecca has reason to believe that she is still alive. As the story begins Rebecca is seeking help from Dan Cooper, the FBI agent originally assigned to Sabrina's case.

I liked the pace of the book overall, but there were a few spots where I felt the scene changes were too abrupt and a few spots where the characters made connections that I didn't quite get. I actually found myself going back in a couple of different places to see if there was something I had missed. I would have liked to have more transition from one scene to the next and maybe get inside of the character's heads a little more to see where their thoughts were going.

What I really missed in this book was the paranormal aspect. We got into it a bit in the last chapter or two but that was it. I would have loved to see more of it tied into the beginning of the book some way.

Witnessing a brutal murder at work is only the beginning of Celia's problems. The fact that the victim is a vampire only proves to complicate her life even more. The vampires of New England have always had an undetected existence among humans but with the unprovoked death of one of their own, the lust for revenge has begun. Celia's concerns are magnified when a hunter from Dallas arrives in town. With Jay's sexy smile and rugged ways, Celia finds herself wanting to spend time with him despite being mysteriously linked to the nest that is threatening to become extinct if Jay gets his way. When four bodies are found drained of blood; Jay teams up with a local bunch to take out all the undead which coincidentally, includes her boyfriend Victor. Celia won't stand seeing anything happen to Victor but refuses to hurt Jay as well. Confusion, lust, rage and violence intertwine as worlds collide. Celia will soon discover that her neat little existence is not what it seems as he...
