Title: Pushed (Sense Thieves #3)
Author: Corrine Jackson
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
SYNOPSIS:
She didn't know how far she’d go—until she was
pushed.
Remy O’Malley was just learning to harness her
uncanny healing power when she discovered the other, darker half of her
bloodline. Now she lives trapped between two worlds, uneasy among her
fellow
Healers—and relentlessly hunted by the
Protectors.
Forced to conceal her dual identity, and the
presence of her Protector boyfriend Asher Blackwell, Remy encounters a
shadow community of Healers who will put her loyalties to the test.
Pushed to the limit, with the lives of those she
loves most on the line, Remy must decide whether to choose sides in a
centuries-old war—or make the ultimate sacrifice and go to a place from which
she may never return…
This is Book Two in the Sense Thieves trilogy.

EXCERPT
“Asher,
lower your guard.”
“No, you’re right. That was a
reckless idea. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking.”
“You weren’t thinking. You were feeling,”
I said, moving closer to him. Trust me.
Lower your guard, I repeated in my thoughts. And close your eyes.
He did as I asked.
“Promise me you’ll stand still,” I
whispered.
He nodded after a slight hesitation.
His heartbeat spiked when I laid a palm on his chest. His skin radiated heat,
and I wanted to curl into it, but I took a deep breath. One of us had to be in
control, so I raised my mental walls, knowing that when I felt this much, Asher
could see through them. I opened my mind and let my imagination go, as I closed
my eyes, too.
I pictured myself touching him the
way I wished I could without fear of repercussions. I pushed the coat off of
his shoulders, letting it fall to the ground. My jacket and his T-shirt
followed, leaving miles of skin and muscle for me to explore. I inhaled the
scent of the woods mixed with that of Asher. In my mind, I placed one of his
hands on my shoulder, bare except for the thin strap of a tank top. Then,
mimicking what he’d done to me earlier, I trailed my fingers down his forearm,
into the crook of his elbow, up his arm, and very lightly down his side.
Asher’s real-life chest moved under
my hand, as he sucked in a deep breath and I smiled. And then the mental
version of me grazed her lips across Asher’s cheek to his mouth, sharing a
breath with him. The kiss the imaginary me laid on him could have burned down
the forest.
“Remy,” Asher said.
He sounded tortured, and I let the
images fade from my mind, worried he hadn’t liked what I’d pictured. Back in
the reality of the forest, we opened our eyes. My hand still rested against the thump, thump, thump of his heart.
“You’re not the only one who’s
frustrated,” I said.
Review
5 stars
Pushed is the second book in the the sense thieves Trilogy.I have loved this series since I ran across Touched last year.Pushed follows right where Touched left off so these are NOT stand alone books. Pushed follows Remy and Asher through more struggles and more romance.I absolutely loved this continuation of the story. I am on pins and needles waiting on Book three in the series.This is a MUST read series.I'm not even joking.It has always surprised me that I never hear anyone talking about this series because it is THAT good of a series.Read it.This is one of those series that will make you wonder what took you so long to find.Excellent job Corrine.I as always look forward to reading more by you.
I recieved an ARC for an Honest Review.
