Book Review and Giveaway: Clarity by Kim Harrington

Clarity is part of a family of psychics. Her mother can read thoughts. Her brother can talk to the dead. And Clarity can touch an object and she the memories of those who touched it.  When her quiet seaside town is hit by a murder, Clarity is asked to use her special ability to aid the police in their investigation.

CLARITY is a well-crafted mystery with appealing characters.  Clarity has such a open personality and fun ability, I find it a little hard to believe that she has no girlfriends (the book's explanation aside). There isn't a single cool, independent chick in the whole town?  How sad!  If I lived there, I'd be hanging out with Clarity all the time - Tiffany and popularity with the townies be damned.

But at least Clarity has plenty of boy attention.  There's the sweet/sour relationship with her ex Justin, her sizzling chemistry with the mysterious new hottie in town, the easy rapport with her brother's best friend, and the tender bond she shares with her brother.

I was so caught up in the depth of the relationships portrayed, I didn't even mind that I was able to finger the culprit pretty early on and also have a good idea of that person's motives.  I look forward to more adventures with Clarity and crew when the sequel PERCEPTION drops in March 2012.  And here's hoping she gets some girlfriends soon!
