Power of the Mind

Shadowy Solutions, Book 2

By: Nicky James

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

It’s not a real case, he’s not my boyfriend, and we aren’t partners. Three lies I told myself for survival.

After ten months of shamefully stalking and showing up randomly on Tallus’s doorstep at midnight (for reasons), the sinfully hot records clerk decided he’d had enough of my games.

In fact, he went out of his way to bring me the most ridiculous case (it was not a case) on the planet as an excuse to push me over the line (he wanted a date). Our arrangement (hooking up) didn’t suit him any longer.

Could I say no? Of course not (this was Tallus).

Five days, I told him. Five days to prove his silly theory, then we were done.

Little did I know, Tallus had a deadline of his own.

Investigating a mind-controlling-murdering psychic was hard enough (because it was not a thing), but resisting Tallus’s charm was the real challenge.

It turned out, I was wrong about a few things.

The case might be a case after all.

Tallus had potential as a partner.

And after all was said and done…I wasn’t sure I could let him go.

ohhh Talus, will cause guns to go grey.

the dynamic duo is back. with more growls!

Diem and tallus make a good pair. when tallus isn't driving him up a wall. although significantly less baby (that's fine I'll cope) I can't wait to see the day that tallus holds her.

Russo's Gravely Diem is PERFECT!

If possible, I enjoyed this one more than the previous book. Tallus is just as quirky as ever. And poor, poor Diem. He has so much baggage. But the two make such an unlikely pair. From a somewhat romantic partnership to the PI partnership. There is development in both story lines and Nicky James does a phenomenal job telling their story. The mystery is intriguing. Their relationship is heart string tugging. I had a hard time putting this one down. I really do hope this series continues!

Updated for Audio:
Nick Russo's narration is awesome. His change in voice for Diem is PERFECT! I can't imagine what it did to his vocal cords, but it made this story so much better!

Excellent!

This series gets better and better. As always the story is top notch and the relationship between the MCs evolves at a good pace. Eagerly awaiting the next book. A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ listen!

LOVED IT!

Nick J. Russo does an amazing job of bringing these wonderful characters to life.
Power of the Mind is book 2 in the Shadowy Solutions by Nicky James. This series should be read in order.
I can't get enough of Tallus and Diem. This unlikely pair just works so well together. They may be complete opposites in most ways but they sure do have chemistry to spare!
I love how many steps forward Diem takes with Tallus in this story. The struggle is real but his desire for a deeper connection is impossible for him to resist. It is wonderful to see how patient and understanding Tallus is without sacrificing what he wants from Diem.
Seeing them back in action on a case together is priceless! When Diem lets Tallus take the lead on this case it leads to more adventures for this duo/non-partners!
I can't wait for more!

love it!

I really enjoy the big part the mystery takes in the story.
The way we get deeper into the MCs personalities page by page is really enjoyable.
Plus, I was already hooked on D and T relationship with book 1 but now I'm just in love with them.


Can't wait for the third one 😍
