This book starts with a speed date from hell and someone talking to you from the afterlife - I kid you not!  Only Victoria Danann could bring those things together and make it work in such a way that it seems absolutely 'normal'.Being back with the Black Swan is always a pleasure and this book is no different.  After six previous books, there is a sense of familiarity of how characters will react, what they will say, what their body language will tell you.The one thing I will say about this book - and it is also the reason I am only giving 4 stars instead of the usual 5 to Victoria - is that it is such a busy book!  There are a lot of things going on so you will need to read carefully.  For example, you have the Sol/Farnsworth story, Raif and Mercy, B Team being brought back from retirement, Z Team having their babysitting mission, Rosie having her sabbatical.  Unfortunately for me, it felt like there was so much going on that I missed out on parts.  I would have loved for Raif and Mercy to have their own story, linked with Farnsworth's search.  I felt like they were only in the book for a couple of scenes and now they're together.This is my only 'niggle' with the book and of course, I can still highly recommend this series as one of the best paranormal romances that I have read.  These books are definitely keepers and are to be kept, cherished and re-read for years to come.
