Drawn to Death
Kat Shehata, author

Adult; Romance; (Market)

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 psychic / 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.
Reviews
Skillfully blending the mundane and the macabre, Shehata (the Russian Tattoos trilogy) presents a delightful paranormal romance built on a foundation of suspense. Evelyn is an artist with a secret: ever since a near-death experience, the spirits of the dead contact her through her art. On the cusp of opening her own gallery in Chicago, she crosses paths with Det. Leo Ricci, a member of the violent crimes task force and avowed denier of the paranormal. After a coffee shop meet-cute, the pair are quickly thrown into a deadly game of cat and mouse when Evelyn’s real estate agent friend, Sydney, is murdered—and Leo reluctantly teams up with Evelyn to crack the case. Clues and red herrings abound, though character development occasionally gets lost in the shuffle, especially when it comes to the secondary cast members who play key roles. The supernatural aspects are where this truly shines, with Evelyn’s spirit encounters, automatic drawing, and clairvoyance presented in all of their spine-tingling glory. Aficionados of old-school paranormal romance will be eager for more. (Self-published)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the 2nd one to come out. This is the first book of hers I’ve read but won’t be the last. It had the right amount of suspense, romance, and paranormal that I like.

Suspense at it's best!

This is the first book I've read/listened to by Kat Shehata. It was excellent! I wasn't ready for it to end. The suspense kept me on edge. I got frustrated every time I was interrupted. I kept trying to guess the outcome and got it totally wrong. The romance was sweet and steamy. I loved how Leo and Evelyn grew together. Their relationship warmed my heart. I'm not normally a paranormal reader/listener, but I took a chance on this. I DO NOT REGRET IT! I'll be looking forward to more from this author. 

Sarah Puckett and Walker Williams are favorite narrators of mine. They were perfect for the roles. I absolutely love their voices. This audiobook rolled like a movie in my head. Perfect performances!

Excellent Story & Narration🎧 A Thrilling Suspense!

This amazing story has it all, the perfect balance of drama, angst, murder mystery, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions, paranormal and romance and this new to me author, Kat Shehata, mastered every one of those genres. I enjoyed the author’s writing style, she created an original story with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about and root for too. Evelyn came back from a death experience with a gift, not to just talk to the dead but for them to talk to her thru her art and gift of drawing. Leo is a homicide detective and for investigations he just follows the evidence and the facts to solve cases, he does not believe in ghosts or psychic abilities. The two meet and there is an instant connection, he has an interest in her art intrigues her, but that does not change the way he feels about things that are unexplainable to him. This did not put an end to his romantic interest in her. When one of her friends goes missing Leo is on the case, but when she claims to have been in contact with her and that she was dead and points the detectives in the right direction to find her body, she becomes a suspect to the murder. She removed from the suspect list fairly quickly, and does some investigating of her own, which puts her in harm’s way, Leo figures that out and wants to keep her safe, he also listens to what she has to say and maybe she will make a believer out of him. There is never a dull moment in this book, it is a cleverly plotted story that is though-provoking, keeps you on your toes and brings you to the edge of your seat. Kat Shehata, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And the amazing narration, Sarah Puckett and Walker Williams did a fabulous job bringing these characters and their story to life. I loved how they took each role, made it their own with a complete understanding of the character and gave each a voice that fit their persona to a tee. Puckett played Evelyn’s role with perfection, grasped every side of her personality, her confidence and bad@assery and Williams did the same for Leo. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to, their narration brings you right in to the story and keeps you there the entire time. Thank you for another great listen.

If you like paranormal, alot of suspense and a whole lot of steam this book is for you. I absolutely loved Evelyn and Leo. Even though Leo doesn't believe in what Evelyn does and is bound and determined to stay away from her, their paths continue to cross. Leo being a detective is given a murder case that he has to work, Evelyn has information that she says was given to her by the victim that no one else would know has just made herself a person of interest. Can Evelyn make him a believer before its too late, we will see. I absolutely loved the ending, I had an idea who the murderer was but how it ended was phenomenal. This is a new author to me and am so glad I read this book and it will not be the last. Highly recommend this book.

Kat Shehata is a new to me author, and seriously, I'm not sure how it took me this long to read her since her writing style is right up my alley. Drawn to Death was a thrill ride that I never wanted to get off of, so I couldn't get enough. Evelyn has a special gift of ghosts talking to her in her dreams, after the person is murdered, and while she doesn't necessarily want that, she sucks it up & channels them through her art. Doesn't that sound fantastic?! Leo is our resident skeptical homicide detective who thinks she's crazy when she comes to him with clues after her friend is murdered, so he's not very nice to her which had me wanting to shake him more than once. The good news is Evelyn goes toe to toe with him so he's not getting away with it, and they finally team up to catch this killer. As they pose as a couple, the sparks are flying, but she gets caught in the killer's crosshairs so now it's a race against time to catch this killer before the killer gets to Evelyn. Obviously the twists are coming in hot, so I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure things out before they did as my heart raced like crazy. Let me tell you, I'll be reading everything by this author going forward, and so I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Goodreads

Our heroine discovers she can contact the dead through her artwork after a near-death experience. If only the hot police detective would take her claims seriously! ;). The next book is on my wishlist!

 

Goodreads

A psychic medium FMC plus a hot detective hero? YES PLEASE! Talk about a kick-ass combination. 

Leo didn’t believe in ghosts and he certainlyyyyy didn’t believe psychics were legit. But feisty Evelyn didn’t let that stop her from wanting to solve her friend’s murder, and more so, from trying to catch the serial killer before he struck again. Suffice it to say, Evelyn’s gifts created some tension between her and Leo. But that just added to the sexual tension already simmering between them. On top of all that, having to fake a relationship in order to bait the killer…well, things we’re destined to get hot between them sooner or later. 🔥 

The mystery and suspense parts of this book had me glued! I needed to know who the killer was! I had working theories along the way but I loved how everything unfolded. 

I also really the paranormal aspects sprinkled throughout the book. It really added good drama to the plot.

Overall, if you love kick ass characters, a good romantic mystery suspense with paranormal aspects thrown into the mix, this book is definitely for you. 
 

Goodreads

This is my first time reading this author and oh my gosh it was amazing. This story is exactly the kind of book I love romance, suspense, a evil killer and a woman who sees dead people.

“Have you ever been alone and sensed someone watching you? Have you heard someone whisper your name, only to turn around and find no one there
What if I told you we’re never alone?

Evelyn had a near death experience and it changed her life. Now when she sleeps she sees the dead. She draws images that are creepy and fascinating.

Leo is a detective married to his job. When she calls him with evidence of a murder he considers her a suspect. He doesn’t believe in that ghost mambo jumbo.

This was a exciting and suspenseful story. I have definitely found a new author and series to put on my auto read list.

Goodreads

It's been a while since I've read a supernatural tinged book, and for me it was just the right amount without being in your face.


I found myself glued from cover to cover despite wanting to shake the (real-life) characters a few times.


Can't wait to see what happens with this couple next.
This is suspense with a difference and not something you'll want to miss.
