Vera Geist writes for a magazine that concentrates on the occult, haunted houses, spiritualists, etc. While Vera doesn't really believe she's been at a haunted house yet, and feels most of the mediums she meets are fakes, she does keep an open mind.Her boss sends her to a house that is going to have three mediums exploring it. Her degree in architecture comes in handy for figuring out something is off about the house.The character of Vera is interesting, back story, how an architecture major became a writer for a supernatural magazine would be welcome in follow up books. I did feel she was a little less freaked and more passive about the situations occurring, and her burgeoning psychic abilities than most people would be.There were a few errors, sance for seance, at one point Clamille is setting up to perform and everyone is meeting in a half an hour, but then Vera declares and hour has gone by and they are now getting ready to meet, little nitpicky editing errors that don't really detract much from the story and can be fixed later.As a who dunnit it's good, as a paranormal read it's good. I will be buying the next book in the series, I think the writing will only get stronger as the series continues.
