In "Something Old," Alexie Aaron continues to feed my addiction to the Haunted Series.  I have read every book and short story in this marvelous series and I haven't been disappointed yet.  And like any addict I am anxious for my next "fix" or in this case the next book.lolThis book has several interesting mysteries, ghosts, action, adventure, humor, and romance.  The character development is spot on and, of course, I simply adore, Murphy.  His frequent lack of political correctness is hilarious.  Each sub-story flows seamlessly into the next and the overall pace of the storyline is good.  I was delighted and intrigued by the hints regarding possible upcoming storylines.  One things is for sure, life won't be smooth sailing for Mia and Ted but as long as in the end they have their HEA and Stephen Murphy remains a happy and viable character, I will consider my loyalty to the series rewarded.(Hint, Hint, Alexie) I didn't encounter any lulls or dull moments.However, I do wish that the social political commentary would be omitted.  There are some editing errors but I didn't find them distracting.I would suggest that you read the other books in the series before this one to truly understand what's going on and to avoid being overwhelmed by the number of characters as one reader apparently was.  When an author painstakingly builds a literary world of course it will and should contain numerous characters and the only way one is truly going to become familiar with the wonderfully developed characters of the Haunted Series is to read the other books.  For example, if you haven't read the other books you won't know who Daisy is and why the resolution regarding her given here is so touching.  You won't know who Amber, Angelo, Tom, Father Santos or Father Alessandro are nor will you understand their relevance to the story.So Buy them all, Read them all and ENJOY a truly captivating paranormal cozy mystery series!
