Divine Intervention by Cheryl Kaye Tardif is the first in a NEW SERIES of 'psi-fi' suspense thrillers with a psychic twist!

CFBI agent Jasmine McLellan is assigned a hot case—one that requires the psychic abilities of the PSI Division, a secret government agency located in the secluded town of Divine, BC.


Jasi leads a psychically gifted team in the hunt for a serial arsonist—a murderer who has already taken the lives of three innocent people. Unleashing her gift as a Pyro-Psychic, Jasi is compelled toward smoldering ashes and enters the killer's mind. A mind bent on destruction and revenge.

"Cheryl Tardif's first venture into the mystery thriller is fantastic. I rarely stray from traditional or genealogical mysteries but Divine Intervention was a pleasant diversion. A team of three Canadian Intelligence empaths led by Jasmine McLellan work to solve a series of arsons that are designed to kill. Each arson appears similar in method and intent, but the team has no idea how they are connected. Assisted by Brandon Walsh, the local area's very handsome and pleasantly annoying Chief of Arson Investigations, the team must dig deep past politics and their own personal issues to find and connect the clues. In Divine Intervention, Tardif has created characters whose friendships and romances feel very genuine. She wastes little ink on descriptions that don't enhance the story, and the action right up to the very end is suspenseful." ~ Christine McCreedy, Christine's Book List

"Extremely entertaining...you had a lot of cool stuff for the slightly futuristic setting.  Good Job!  I am very much looking forward to the next book and can’t possibly wait til 2005.  I enjoyed your characters immensely and had a hard time putting the book down…I loaned my book to a pal of mine who shares the same interest in reading material.  She also loved your book and was very upset to find out she had to wait tooooooooo lllooonngg for your next one to come out!!  So there you have it, you’re a hit as far as millions of readers are concerned." ~ Monica Ratzke  

"A very hot who done it. If you are a mystery fan then Divine Intervention will definitely appeal to you. But this story is more than your average murder mystery. It is a futuristic mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat right until the very end wondering just who did it. Like a fly getting trapped in a spider's web this story will keep you entangled right until the very end. Whale Song was great, but Cheryl Tardif's stories just keep on getting better. I cannot wait until her next one." ~ Ian Lyon, Poet, Artist and soon to be Author

"I haven't been able to put it down until now to write to you. My oldest boy, who is 12 and goes to Kate Chegwin, has been fighting me to read it first. He has already read Whale Song twice and can not wait to read your next book. Thanks. You're great." ~ Tracey Rye 

"Wow. I've found in the past that while quotes like "Anyone who is a fan of J.D. Robb will thoroughly enjoy this one..." may be on the cover, the contents aren't always as satisfying.  This is." ~ Ash Greenidge

"Divine Intervention is a divine treasure! Finally, a Canadian novel by a Canadian author that captures Canadiana in its finest. Cheryl Kaye Tardif's most recent novel is comparative to Nora Roberts' "In Death" series that is penned under the pseudonym of 'J.D. Robb'. In the first of Tardif's Divine series, Divine Intervention introduces the reader to an elite group of psychic government agents. The chemistry between Jasmine McLellan, the pyro-psychic who enters a serial killer's mind, and Brandon Walsh, the Chief of Arson Investigations, is hotter than a Florida heat wave. Cheryl Kaye Tardif successfully manipulates the characters, their emotions and actions, and takes you to a startling climax that will leave you suspended. The shocking twist at Divine Intervention's conclusion will rip your emotions bare as you enter the world of a serial arsonist bent on revenge. I enjoyed this novel immensely and will be awaiting Tardif's next book with hot, sweaty palms. Cheryl Kaye Tardif is destined to be a great Canadian author--and is the new 'Canadian J.D. Robb'." ~ Melissa Teeq, USA

"Cheryl Kaye Tardif's hot futuristic thriller, Divine Intervention, radiates suspense and mystery. Divine Intervention transports the reader to a tomorrow with comforting echoes of today, but also with strange possibilities that challenge expectations…The author skillfully ties and unties knots in a plot line stretching back decades to a source of evil now unleashing fiery destruction and horrible death amid the scenic wonders of British Columbia, Canada. Tardif fuels her story with relentless pacing, marvelously cryptic clues, frequent surprises, and convincing details of criminal investigation and fire fighting. The narrative temperature reaches feverish intensity when multiple conflicts threaten to ignite and obsessive attractions cloud rationality with sensual steam. As a mystery author and lover of a well-told tale, I found much to admire and enjoy in Divine Intervention by Cheryl Kaye Tardif."  ~ Jimmy Fox, award-winning Louisiana author

"Divine Intervention was a hugely pleasant surprise.  Cheryl Kaye Tardif has definitely found her genre with this new crime novel set in the not-so-far future.  Believable characters, and scorching plot twists. Anyone who is a fan of J.D. Robb will thoroughly enjoy this one---especially any who have been waiting for an excellent voice to bring alive a genuinely Canadian crime novel.  Divine Intervention will undeniably leave you smoldering---and dying for more." ~ Kelly Christian, WGA member and DF (Devout Fan)

"WONDERFUL! Riveting, with imagery almost agonizingly clear. Tardif's characters and story have an integrity that makes it nearly impossible to stop reading!" ~ Kate Leighton, Canadian editor and writer

"It was AWESOME!  It was like a futuristic CSI!  Loved it!" ~ Dori G.

"Cheryl has developed her characters very well. Their emotions are stripped bare, and you feel you know them. I almost fell in love with the handsome, Brandon Walsh. The chemistry between Jasmine and Brandon is hotter than being in Bali! The plots twist and turn, so you are won’t expect what happens next. This book was so interesting, that I read it in one day. To be fair, if I wasn’t in bed taking care of my broken ankle it would have taken me a few days to read it...
I hope this was the first book in a series, because I found the CFBI team very interesting. Cheryl, as they say on Canadian Idol, ’’good on yah’’." ~ Lyla, Mouthshut.com reviewer
