Science gone awry. A real treat!

"Out of Sight" is one of the best books I've read in a long time. In this novel T.J. MacGregor chooses one of the toughest topics to write convincingly, and does it seemingly effortlessly. She had me believing in the situation of a secret government project using human guinea pigs in experiments on invisibility--or 'shrouding' as she calls it in the book. Well thought out and simply plotted, the characters are compelling--a family you feel an affinity to and the scientist villains are subtle but very real. The story is gripping; a real page turner. MacGregor does something that a lot of authors have difficulty doing. She makes you care about her characters and when you care about the characters, you really want to know how the story turns out. Even her digression into the world of shamanism and ghosting (one of the key players is a Ecuadoran shaman) is completely believable. Be warned, this book is not science fiction even though it deals with invisibility. It is more in line with Michael Crichten's Jurassic Park-- Science gone awry. Someone without much imagination might not buy into this book, but for others it will be a real treat.

I have been a fan of T.J. MacGregor since I first read her series of books set in South Florida. I wish she would write more stories using Mike McCleary and his wife Quin. Whether she is writing a mystery or a more Science Fiction piece as in Out of Sight, she holds you captive to the story. She ads no filler words to her story, everything she says, relates to reveling and moving the story. I love that her setting is my setting, South Florida. A great writer!Barbara Rowe

Be prepared! This book is a non-stop read!

As hard as I try I can not remember a time in my life when I wasn't reading "something." I am one of those who is on a constant search for a "good read". My search led me to Out of Sight and T.J. MacGregor. Not this author's first book and I pray not her last. I couldn't put this book down - not even when I should have - like to feed my family or do laundry. Good thing I read fast! When I was done with this book I immediately looked up all the titles of others by her. I made my list and began my mission of having them all on my shelf. I have since read 4 more and am now on my fifth! From the first page to the last, not one has let me down. Her characters are so real, it makes me feel as if I have found new friends. I find myself laughing out loud, gripping my seat, wiping a tear, or holding my breath for what might happen next. Keep them coming T.J. MacGregor!

Absolutely Captivating

Out of sight can be summed up in sever single words such as Suspensful,Intriguing,Mystical,Humorus,Provoking and even Romantic. I couldn't put the book down. It was the first book I have read by T.J. MacGregor but it won't be the last. Never a dull moment. Never once did I have to force myself to turn the next page in hopes that the story would pick up. I read it in 2 days and I work full time and I am a full time single mom.

Excellent Read

This book was an excellent adventurous read. Not since John Grisham's "The Firm" have I been unable to put down a book. I just had to find out what happened next. Keep up the good work! I plan on reading more works by the author.I highly recommend!
