Wind themselves throughout this story.  This was an interesting blend of magic, curses, ghosts, and psychic/aura abilities.Other reviews mentioned that the author's style and plot line resembles the Kim Harrison series.  (could the heroine's last name be a not-so-subtle hint?)  Well, I agree, but I have to point out that Kim Harrison's books are a hard act to follow.3-3/4 star rating.  Good instead of great, mainly because the story kept mentioning interesting things that had previously happened to the various characters, without actually going into detail about those occurrences.  I felt like I had missed  a prior book.  My feelings are that you shouldn't tease...if it's worth mentioning, explain it then and there.  I also found myself unsatisfied with the backgrounds of how her friends became her friends--and especially the references to the dead woman Carol who had such an impact on Juliet's life.That being said, I still found this book a pretty good read.  I felt connected to the characters.  I eagerly tapped the Kindle to devour the next page.  I felt fulfilled at the end of the book, and yet still looked forward to the next book in the series.
