The Wild Sight (Amy)
Loucinda McGary
319 pages
Donovan O’Shea has lived in America since he was seventeen years old. It seems that whenever he gets near the fens(which, from my reading, I gather is a marshy-type area) his gift of “the sight” is triggered. Donovan is afraid of his gift and tries to stay as far from the fens as possible. When his father Dermot has a stroke, however, he must head back to Ireland to help his sister make decisions and take care of Dermot’s interests.
Rylie Powell has grown up in America with her mother and a man that she has always known was not her biological father. When her mother dies, Rylie’s stepfather gives her a share of the insurance money and as much information as he has to help her find her father. A private investigator tells her that her father is Dermot O’Shea.
Rylie and Donovan’s paths intersect in County Armagh, Ireland in a maze of mystery, attraction, and family secrets.
When I first read about The Wild Sight, I was interested in reading it because of the paranormal aspect of Donovan’s gift. I was a bit hesitant because of the romance and forbidden love aspect because I am not into the more graphic love scenes. They do exist but I didn’t find there to be an overabundance of them(meaning that I didn’t have to skip huge chunks of the book) and the rest of the story was well-worth reading. The paranormal was different than some of the others I have read and the mystery was not easily solvable. All in all it was was engaging and a fun diversion from reality for me.
I would recommend this to any fan of romance/forbidden love-type stories as well as readers who enjoy a paranormal element and solving mysteries. (3/5)
