This book begins where book one ends, with Sullivan going to bring Olivia to Seattle to permanently join the Soul Scavenger team, who are basically a group of paranormal investigators for a TV Show. Sullivan definitely has a lot of commitment issues, but the book does explain his reasons for this.In this book we get to know the other team members more than we did in the first book. The team consists of Arnav (he's the main boss), Hudson (just an all round funny guy who's very protective of his sister) and Kelly (Hudson's sister).I must point out that this book takes place over a relatively short time span (a few days at the most) so although it feels slow moving, especially in terms of Sullivan's and Olivia's relationship, things theoretically don't happen as slow as it seems.We quickly discover that Sullivan once had a relationship with Kelly and it was interesting to find that she didn't display the jealous tendencies that we come to expect from an Ex girlfriend. The same goes for Olivia and things between the two girls are remarkably civil.The team embark on an investigation of a large house that was once believed to be a brothel and have been asked by the owner to explain the strange goings on. Whilst this is the basis of their location for much of the book, I did get the sense that the story was more about the relationship between the team and also the relationship of Sullivan and Olivia, which gave it a slightly different feel to the first book.After reading both books, I'm getting a definite sense that this series would appeal more to readers of the New Adult genre, due to the fact that yes, there are sex scenes, but there aren't many and they aren't particularly graphic either, something which doesn't bother me, because the story itself is enough to keep me enthralled.By the end of this book I found that there are definitely some unanswered questions, but that just makes me want to read Book three all the more and I have to say I enjoyed this book even more than book one. So all in all this is turning out to be a very good series.
