With a great set of protagonists, fascinating secondary characters and a storyline that intrigues, Meg Benjamin has penned a story I very much enjoyed.I loved having a medium and a skeptic paired together.  Realistically attracted to each other, but aware of the pitfalls of their attraction made for an interesting bit of tension.  Rose kept mum about her abilities for a very long time, because how to do you explain to someone like Evan that you have a ghost in your house who helps commune with the other side in order to locate missing items?Evan has surprises of his own ... things that are a surprise even to him.  He was believable and interesting and just a really three dimensional character.I loved, LOVED Helen and Lenore ("moron").  Every time they showed up in a scene I had to smile.  Really, they completed a well rounded cast of characters here, and of everyone I was most attached to them.There weren't many downsides.  I did think Rose took having a ghost in the house a little too smoothly.  And the story was a little slow to start, but interested me enough that I wasn't tempted to stop reading.  Thankfully, despite being second in a series, it stands alone quite well. There were a few allusions to things that happened in the first book, but this story itself is quite solid on its own.Ms. Benjamin is quite a master of prose.  I enjoyed her voice and commend her on her skill.  But, truly what makes this book something I can happily recommend are the characters, even though the plot (once it really got rolling) was definitely a page-turner.Well done!
