Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 24, 2012
Believe it or not, this is a perfect read for the spookiest time of year--Matthew Bennett is barely hanging on as a cop in Seattle, having lost his lover and partner to a murderer 18 months previous. When he investigates the circumstances surrounding a missing child on Christmas Eve, and ends up discovering the little girl's body-with some help from her ghost-well, life just couldn't get any worse.Unfortunately for Matt, it does get worse: desk duty and being dropped off the case, a resentful and adversarial supervisor, fellow cops who distance themselves from his 'gayness'(like it was catching or something!)-and all he has to hang onto is his stubborn refusal to give up on solving the murder, in spite of his disbelief.But when he enlists the aide of a handsome youth named Kiernan Fitzpatrick, everything changes. A charismatic psychic burned by players more often than not, Kiernan sees possibilities in yet one more risk with his heart as Matt and himself work together feverishly to solve the case.Things get life and death dangerous, with bullets flying, desire rising up at the most inopportune moments; and as Matt and Kiernan get closer to the murderer, the simmering sexual burn between them bursts into flames.Risk and reward; love and a second chance . . . what better gifts for the lonely to be lonely no more...
