I received this book from the author for a review so I hope he wanted an honest one. First, the story was great. It was interesting and I fully enjoyed the character development, the plot, and the scenes as the story played out. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The main character, Vincent Graves, has to solve a murder, the murder of the body he's inhabiting. Something paranormal killed Norman Smith, and when there's paranormal doings going on that results in someone's death, Graves is sent in to find out whodunit and to take care of the nasties that did the doing. He's given a ridiculously short time in which to do the investigation before he fails his overseer "Church", and the reasons for the lack of information given to Graves and the short time period are revealed to Graves after the investigation. END OF SPOILERS***This is definitely leading to a sequel, and when it does I hope the author will invest some time and effort into editing. There were a lot of missing words, as well as repeated words, run on sentences and misplaced modifiers. Nothing in that should detract from the author himself or his work, an author shouldn't edit his own work, because he's too close to the story.So all in all, I'm glad I read it, and would recommend it, if for nothing else but to set up what promises to be an epic book 2, but it also stands on it's own as a story unto itself.
