For her act causes her to accidentally impart her deadly powers

a monumental decision that will put all that he holds most dear
on the line!
Reviews
"Back to Life is a crafty
tale, where the unseen paranormal element packs a powerful punch.
Ms. Johnston gives readers a strong romantic suspense with life or death
situations, and adds a sizzling dose of chemistry to heat up the pages.
Back to Life is a fast-moving and entertaining read that I’d
recommend to readers who love a good paranormal romance within a light
police procedural." --
Darque Reviews
"Fans of paranormal romantic suspense
thrillers will enjoy this engaging police procedural due to the actions and
reluctant reactions of the lead couple towards one another. In fact Skye’s
mixed feelings of wanting Trevor and avoiding him make the tale fun to read
as she comes across so human in spite of her Valkyrie powers. BACK TO
LIFE is a well written romantic thriller." -- Harriet Klausner,
Genre Go Round Reviews
"The character development in this is some of
the best I've seen in a Silhouette Nocturne; Trevor especially emerges as a
complex man: a good man, but whose sense of justice veers toward
over-zealousness, even when it's well-intentioned. Skye, with her more
judicious use of her talent, balances him out; she's the perfect guide for
him as he adjusts to his new abilities. Author Linda O. Johnston brings to
this book the same level of realism she showed in her previous book,
Alpha Wolf
(Silhouette Nocturne): she presents her Valkyries as realistically as
she portrayed the shapeshifters in her earlier book, and for a moment, you
can believe that maybe, just maybe there are people out there who actually
have the ability to call the dying back to life or ease them into the
afterlife..." -- Renee Mulhare,

"Johnston offers a novel idea for a story,
and there's great chemistry between Skye and Trevor. Plus, Skye's reluctance
to get involved with Trevor is nicely depicted." -- Alexandra Kay,
