The Burning Island by Hester Young

The Burning Island is the third installment in the Charlie Cates series.  While she has been able to keep her dreams a secret from most, Charlie's latest involvement puts her under scrutiny from the police and all at once, her psychic abilities are being covered in the news.  To give herself a much needed diversion from all the media circus, she travels to Hawaii with her best friend Rae to write a feature story about a scientist/tri-athlete.  This tropical getaway should be just the cure for Charlie's troubles, but when she quickly is met with a disturbing dream, she finds herself embroiled in the search for a missing girl that is full of dead ends and many more questions than answers.

I personally had some trouble becoming engaged in the story and found myself distracted with some of the side journeys that I felt the story took.  Charlie Cates is an interesting character, but for some reason, I just wasn't drawn into this particular installment in the series.  

I received this book courtesy of G.P. Putnam & Sons through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
