I found this paranormal mystery refreshingly different from all the vampire and shifter books flooding the market at the moment. It's more of a "ghost whisperer" book with some serious twists, angry ghosts and a high amount of danger and tension. Sophie is the heroine, and she's about as down to earth and "real" as any character I've ever read. She's been through a lot, and has to go through a lot more in order to solve the murder she's accused of committing, but she takes it in stride for the most part, and I admired her strength throughout (which includes navigating a sticky romantic entanglement). And of course the writing is top-notch, as anyone who's read Samantha's romance novels would expect.My only complaint about this book is the very well-done cliffhanger at the end. Mind you, all of the issues in the book are wrapped up neatly, but a new mystery is introduced at the end as a lead in to future books...and I admit to being extremely impatient with such things. Here's hoping we get the next one soon...
