Drawn to Death

Evelyn Sinclair, Book 1

By: Kat Shehata

Narrated by: Sarah Puckett, Walker Williams

Ghosts visit Evelyn in her dreams. The secrets of the dead could get her killed.

The city is ripe with crime, and the freshly dead need help solving their murders. Evelyn is a reluctant medium who channels the dead through her art.

Leo is a skeptical homicide detective who believes in evidence, facts, and witness testimonies—when the information comes from the living, not the dead.

When a ghost feeds Evelyn clues about a string of unsolved murders, she teams up with Leo to track down the serial killer.

The romantic tension sizzles when Evelyn and Leo go undercover as a couple to lure the killer into a trap. But when Evelyn gets too close to the case, and the handsome detective, her life is in danger when she becomes the latest obsession of the Windy City Stalker.

Great Book!

This is a great book. I loved the story line and the characters are well done. The narrators are perfect for the voices of these characters and do a wonderful job telling the story. I definitely recommend this book.

Drawn to Death

This is the first book in the Evelyn Sinclair series. This is a really interesting book. Evelyn is an artist that had a near death experience that caused her to be able to interact with ghosts. She would see them in her dreams and would paint them. Until one ghost was her friend. This book ended on a HFN. I’m curious to see what will happen next. Sarah Puckett and Walker Williams did a fantastic job narrating.

A fun, slightly supernatural mystery...

This was a fun, fast-paced read with stalker vibes, just a hint of supernatural aspect, some action, some police procedural and more. It packs murder-mysteries, violence, and a strong, artsy, medium female lead.

There was a bit of romance on the side and it came with some steam—these bits weren’t the best writing, and I think this might’ve worked better as just a suspenseful / police procedural type of read but each to her own.

Overall, this was fun. 3.5 stars.


Audio:
The narration was great, Puckett is one of my favorite narrators. I’m still getting used to her accent, when ‘sender’ comes out as “cinder”, or ‘many’ as “minnie”, etc. it’s a very different sentence, but it keeps me on my toes, and her voice is amazing. She really brought Evelyn, especially, to life for me.
Overall sound quality was absolutely perfect.

Drawn to Death...Loved This!!!

This book was awesome! I wasn't so sure at first. I've heard plot lines similar to this before. Cop meet medium, cop can't believe the mediums craziness, cop falls for medium anyway.... You know....If you watch a lot of paranormal TV shows or read a lot of Paranormal books (my fav!) you will come across a plotline similar to this one. BUT, I have to say, even with the somewhat familiar plot, this book stands on its own very well. I could practically see the pictures Evelyn made. And trust and believe when it comes to art, I know what I like, but that's it. I took 1 art history class in H.S., and that is about as much as I could take. But the way Kat Shehata describes her art, you can practically see it. Also, I find near death experiences fascinating! And I'm a little jealous of Evelyn's art skills & her medium skills. Not fair... she gets two awesome alibies all because she almost died! I almost died plenty of times (In recovery over off of H for almost 5.5 years!) And I never got anything cool happen to me. Granted, If something cool did happen, I probably wouldn't remember it anyways back then lol.
I don't think I have ever listen/read a book from Kat before, but I'm already a fan. She is extremally talented and this kind of book is right up my ally. I also really enjoyed her writing style. I'm really hoping that there is a second book coming to audible. I just went and did a look-see at GoodReads and it didn't mention a second book. But I totally feel like there should be another one! A beautiful 1st book has been created. And I'm sure you could come up with 100 good stories to follow...imo anyways. I obviously don't know much about writing. lol.
The narrators did a fantastic job also. Sarah Puckett is a genius when it comes to narration. She is one of those who doesn't just read a book to you. She actually gives you performance, and plays the parts given to her by her character. I also think that we share a very similar taste in books lol. In the last few years I've listened to many of her performances, and she has never let me down. Not once. Walker Williams did a great job too. I've heard him in 1 other book (Bloody Union, one of my recent favs!!!) And he is fantastic too. I really hope the 3 of them get together again and do a second book. I think it would be great! If not, I suppose I shall live.... <3

I would read again

I couldn't finish this book fast enough. The story kept me interested all the way through. I can't wait to hear more about Evelyn and Leo.
