Spirit Willing, Flesh Weak - Julie Cohen

Psychic Rosie Fox is hoping to hit the big time during her tour of England, but she never expected to get a genuine premonition during a reading. Certain that a train will crash, Rosie flees her audience and runs to the nearest tube station, where she frantically tries to stop the train leaving. Taken into custody, Rosie's distressed and guilt-ridden when she learns six people died when the train crashed, but her manger's delighted - Rosie was caught on camera trying to stop people on the platform, and this is the best evidence of psychic ability she could have. Unfortunately a large part of the extra attention comes in the form of disgraced Times journalist Harry Blake, who now works for a small paranormal TV show.
Spirit Willing... is a fun and engaging novel that doesn't try to be more than it is - a light and fluffy, somewhat original rmoance. If I'd written this review a little closer to having read the book I'm sure I'd have been able to give more detail but for now suffice it to say that if another novel by Julie Cohen crosses my path I'll pick it up - Alex
