Striking Sparks by Jordan Castillo Price is a Psycop Novelette.

Andrew tried his best to arrive in time at the psychic’s office before she closed shop
for the day without success. Andrew is about to get married, and he needs some advice. He was told that this psychic is for real. He arrived just after the store closed, but the weirdest thing happens, he is approached by a stranger, Crash, who seems to know why he is there and what he needs. Crash is a chain smoker who has the most unusual tattoos and appears to know Andrew’s deepest desires which he is more than willing to fulfill. Will Andrew find the answers to his questions before he makes some irrevocable changes in his life? Who is Crash and does he really know what Andrew really wants?

Ms. Price created an interesting story with a possible paranormal basis that explores the doubts that people get before a wedding. Unlike most people, Andrew had feelings that he could never explain until Crash showed him the way. The erotic scenes were raw, basic and very stimulating. I found it interesting that in the end I still couldn’t figure if Crash had psychic abilities or if he was just reading Andrew’s responses and reacting to them. The descriptions of Crash’s tattoo were very interesting. I wish I could see them for real. Thanks go to Ms. Price for an interesting read.
