Alexandra King is a psychic medium, whose boss is The Psychic Detective Zachary Collins. Alexandra can see and communicate with ghosts, which makes solving murders and crimes easy most of the time- hey, if the victims can communicate who is responsible for their murders, solving it becomes easier, right? When Zach's mother's ghost keeps pestering Alexandra to trace Dylan, Zach's estranged brother, she has enough. So, see traces Dylan to Colorado. A one night stand turns out to be none other than Dylan Collins himself and he daylights as a cop, who is totally sceptic of Alexandra's abilities. When a ghost of a deceased woman communicates something about her murder, Alexandra knows she has to get involved somehow, and becomes a psychic consultant in the murder investigation, headed by, none other than Dylan himself. The murderer calls himself "The Grim Reaper" and likes attention. Now, Alexandra has to help Dylan find the perpetrator before it is too late. Even more dauntingly, she has to try the impossible task of reuniting Zach and Dylan if she is to be free of their mother haunting her.The first few scenes, especially the one night stands were a bit irking. But, as the story progresses, it begins to get so much better. [ I especially loved Spider calling Zach "Bossman":) Dylan is a curious character. He is torn between being attracted to Alexandra and the impossibility of believing that she is honestly a psychic medium, and is not fibbing. I don't like the fact that both Dylan and Alexandra are ready to sleep with each other, but are not ready to trust each other. Zach and Reedus are better characters.Just ignore certain clichéd parts, and the story is likeable enough a lot. Looking forward to read the third book- Spider's book.
