The crew from Serafina's is back again in this second installment in the series.  While Sera and Blair are still very much active here, and the Founder makes a few shadowy appearances, the focus this time is on the beautiful yet emotionally distant computer geek Jillian Kerr.  We learn about her childhood and family and why she has built so many walls around her heart in the midst of Serafina's latest case, a destructive poltergeist.  The poltergeist is plaguing a highly-regarded video game developer, Dale Ewan, and his wife.  Sera and Jilly discover that the poltergeist is all too real and that the Ewans have not exactly been forthcoming about events in their home.  When Jilly literally stumbles into a new virtual reality game and discovers Ewan's deceased ex-partner, Genesis Adam (yep, that's really his name), things get even more interesting, especially when Jilly finds herself falling for Adam.  Who is the poltergeist?  What happened at the Ewans' house during an attempted break-in by Jilly's brothers?  And why can't Sera reach Adam's spirit?I found myself like the Serafina's gang even more this time around, so I'm definitely looking forward to book 3.  They are all flawed and damaged in many ways, yet they have banded together into a motley crew that really does try to help others, both living and dead.  They also all protect one another.  Sera and Blair's relationship continues to develop, although there's not as much of them in this book.  I hope to see more of Jilly and Adam (I just can't bring myself to call the man Genesis) in the next book. I have to say that both Jilly and Sera were slow on the uptake in this one, though, because I had figured out why Sera couldn't reach Adam's spirit much sooner than they did!
