I am somewhat surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I went into it thinking it would be a paranormal romance and whilst it is paranormal and there is a little romance, it wasn't like anything I've ever read.When I first started reading, Mulder & Scully from the X Files sprang to mind with a little bit of Sixth Sense 'I see dead people', but in all honesty this book is in a class of it's own and having completed the book, I think it would be unfair of me to compare it to anything else.Olivia is a Psychic Medium who can see, sense and communicate with the dead. She is feisty and definitely knows how to put Sullivan in his place. Sullivan, although he is a Paranormal Investigator, who along with Olivia has been sent to investigate strange activity on a remote island.Sullivan is pretty sceptical about Olivia's ability and throughout the book he seems to fight the fact that he doesn't need Olivia in order to carry out his work and also that he is attracted to her.I loved the dialogue between them and for me a good book must have good characters that I can relate to and visualise, so from the start this book had me drawn in. I loved the paranormal element of this book and my only criticism would be that I actually wanted it to be more sinister, especially one spirit imparticular. And I find it strange that I actually wanted to be a little more scared, maybe have more suspense, but that is my personal opinion and in no way have I let it affect the rating of this book.All in all I feel that this is a very good read and although the book does not end with a cliffhanger, I really want to see what happens between Olivia and Sullivan in this series.
