They say if you want to really find a good book, go to page 69 (the middle and meat of the book) and you like what's there, it's definitely worth reading the whole book. For today's feature, I'm zooming in on page 69 of Karen Charles' new psychological thriller, A Glimpse Too Far. 

BOOK DESCRIPTION

A terrifying gift. A government cover-up. And a past that won’t stay buried.

Elouise thought she had left the past behind. After a tragic accident, she woke with chilling ability to see glimpses of people’s pasts and futures. She’s spent years trying to live a normal life. But when a powerful senator pulls her into a high-stakes game of deception and control, she realizes her gift is no longer a secret—it’s a weapon. And he intends to use it.

She must make an impossible choice: play his deadly game or risk everything to expose the truth.

Danger closes in. Now, Elouise is running for her life, hunted by those who will do anything to silence her.

Who can she trust? The boyfriend who swore to protect her? Or the man who wants to own her gift—at any cost?

A Glimpse Too Far is a pulse-pounding thriller filled with menace, betrayal, and a race against time. Will the truth be uncovered before it’s too late?

Elouise stood in the luminous shafts of the morning sun, the light catching the strands of her wavy blonde hair, which was tied in a loose ponytail that swayed with her every step. The ranch stretched before her like a painting: lush green pastures framed by sturdy wooden fences, with the distant neighs of horses echoing across the hills. She inhaled deeply, the scent of hay and earth mingling with the crisp autumn air. This was her sanctuary, the only place where she felt remotely in control of the whirlwind her sixteen
year-old life had become.
“Can you hand me the syringe, Elouise?” Dr. Warren’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts.
The veterinarian, a lean, tall, middle-aged man with kind eyes who always seemed to understand more than he said, crouched by a gray mare.
Elouise crouched beside him, her fingers deftly passing the syringe without hesitation.
“Do you think this will work?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry as she watched the horse’s labored breathing.
“She’ll be fine. With some care and patience, animals tend to heal faster than we do,” Dr. Warren replied, glancing at her. “You’re picking up on these procedures quickly. Ever think about doing this professionally?"

What do you think? Would you keep reading?
