This was the right book at the right time. I had just finished reading an urban fantasy romance and found *this* urban fantasy romance to continue my binge! It had all the elements I look for: danger, romance, paranormal forces, and did I mention danger? I was pleased to discover this is the first book in a series of what I hope will be many, many books.

Spectacular Paranormal Suspense .
I volunteered to read an advanced readers copy through Netgallery of The Third Eye . This story starts out intriguing and suspenseful and just gets more so as I go further into the story . Rowan comes from a long line of so called witches , Rowan being a cardiac surgeon she is very skeptical about mystical things . Rowan is forced to leave the medical practice after money went missing and they accused her . Her world soon gets turned upside down . She starts having visions . The vision has a blue eyed intense man she hasn't met ,
Detective Jack Murphy . Soon both are together try to stay out of harm's way . Jack has secrets as well as Rowan . Danger is everywhere . They and their friends will have to fight the danger and dangerous criminals . The story is full of twists and turns , intense , pulse pounding action and all consuming intrigue . I couldn't put it down . I highly recommend taking the time to read this story and enjoy .

A big thank you to NetGalley and Dragonfly Press for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. This is the first book in a new series. I thought the beginning was a bit odd but I actually really enjoyed the book. I wouldn't have necessarily called it a romance. More paranormal, suspense with romance thrown in. I liked Rowan and Jack both. Ok I have to admit the Epilogue freaked me out! Why did suspend with that? Gross that part of the story I did not enjoy. 4 stars

Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Rowan is a successful, brilliant surgeon who has no idea of the gifts she suppresses. A suspenseful, thought provoking book. Lots of plot twists and excellent supporting cast. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Strong work Margaret Watson.

As a first time Margaret Watson reader I found myself thoroughly enjoying her new paranormal romance, The Third Eye. Starting the story with cardiologist Rowan who suddenly experiences something beyond her scientific understanding - powerful visions - kicked the story off with a bang. Bring in Jack the handsome police officer with his own powers and their quick attraction to each other and the romance is off and running. Both characters are strong and supportive looking to protect each other as Rowan comes to terms with the ability she never knew she had. Danger abounds and soon new strong characters with powers of their own join the story bringing it all to a good conclusion and leaving open some great additions to the series ahead. I loved the strong characters, the description of powers and abilities and the development of the relationship between Jack and Rowan.

I had a bit of trouble at the beginning. I don’t know if the story was really hard to follow or if I just wasn’t familiar with the author’s writing style. I kept reading though and overall enjoyed the book and will read others in the series when they come out.

This is the start to a new series and I was drawn in and can't wait for more I have read this authors work before but never paranormal I believe this is a first for her and I have to say she hit the nail on the head

Rowen suddenly comes into powers the best way to describe them is second sight luckily they kicked in early enough to save her and other people but they made her an enemy that will stop at nothing to end her and her powers. The only person who can really help her is Jack a detective and former Seal and you guessed it he has powers as well With the help of friends they will have to work to overcome the enemy bent of creating super soldiers. The suspense and drama is the making of this story and I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good story with a bit of steam

Rowan is a cardiologist who has been fired for embezzlement of her charity. Jack is a detective who was in the wrong place at the right time. Together the have to keep Rowan alive, clear her name and figure out what this strange attraction is between them. There’s a host of bad guys and some great good guys with some unusual skills. An edge of your seat read.

I read this as an ARC from NetGalley

The Third Eye by Margaret Watson
The Four #1

Knowing this author writes wonderful books and handles romantic suspense in a way that I enjoy had me eager to take on her new series that includes the paranormal. I was unsure if there would be shape shifters or magic or something else entirely but knowing I like her work eagerly settled in to find out what she had created.

AND…

WOW ~ No shapes shifters (yet) but oh my what an action-packed thrilling read this proved to be! There is power and magic and definitely evil to overcome.

The main male and female lead characters in this book were people I liked and wouldn’t mind getting to know better. Rowan is a physician who believes in science so when she suddenly finds herself experiencing new abilities she is a bit shaken. Jack is perhaps more open to “different” as he has lived with some unusual abilities most of his life. His time in the military will also play a part in this series as will some of the men he knew while a Navy SEAL. I am not sure what I expected going into this book but can honestly say that I am eager to find out what will happen next!

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I like to read the next book in this series? Definitely!

A bit more about the basis of the story quoted from the front of the book:

The energy was changing...
Power was shifting...
Four came from the corners of the country.
Four came from its heart.
Separately, each of the eight had power. Magic. Sorcery. Talents.
Their power would be tested.
They would risk everything.
They would face danger and death.
All would be needed to defeat Evil.
The eight would become The Four.
The Four would create the square, with a heart at its center.
The square would provide stability. A foundation for peace. Harmony. Order.
Once formed, it would protect the earth from Evil.
Each time the square added another corner, the power of The Four would grow. Intensify.
But Evil was growing, as well.

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
