An unanticipated hookup between two lonely people gave them both a pleasurable night, but the next day identities and occupations are revealed causing lots of tension and mistrust.Working together to find a rabid serial killer who calls himself The Grim Reaper, homicide detective Dylan Collins and psychic medium Alexandra King must put aside their personal feelings in order to get the job done.  Alexandra has even bigger secrets that soon threaten to undermine the shaky trust that develops over the next several days between the duo.I really enjoyed this well-written paranormal mystery. A fan of the old TV series Medium, I had no trouble accepting Alexandra’s special gifts.  I loved her character, her determination to use her talents to assist in a police investigation regardless of the skeptics and nay-sayers surrounding her.  She is a likable person, not brash or overbearing, who resolutely stands strong in the face of adversity.  I liked Dylan well enough but did get a little tired of his unceasing whining about a traumatic past experience.  He had more difficulty finally making peace with certain past events than I thought was warranted, but that is just my opinion.  I did like the chemistry that was constantly present between him and Alexandra, and I was happy that their relationship and respect for each other kept getting stronger even as they met obstacles to their case and to their personal relationship with grit and valor.This book was given to me by the author or publisher in exchange for my honest review.Reviewed by Laurie-J
