My Review:We're getting so close. This book was the third out of four books in this series about the romance between Tess, human, and Kipp, ghost. For me, this book seemed to be a little bit like we were in a holding pattern, setting up for the big finale, but that's not the case with most of the reviewers. Most of them say that this was the best in the series for them. For me, I needed more Kipp and Tess interaction on the page (although what was there was damn good!) This is where my romantic roots show through...I am much more focused on the romance than the mystery and there is a WHOLE LOT of mystery in this book.This book sets up as Tess is being blackmailed to help solve a murder case. The Animus is a society of paranormally gifted people and up until recently they were led by Alexander, but he's been murdered and the society wants her to contact his ghost. In return, they will help her reconnect Kipp's ghost with his body. But, of course, everything isn't that easy and there is a whole lot of mystery surrounding the Animus and Alexander's death, because he is not a normal ghost. Tess doesn't know who to trust and Alexander's ghost can't tell her.There's tons of creepy in this book. Alexander's ghost has to hang out in a swamp and of course it seems like the only time they can connect with him is after dark. There are also Wayde and Dane who both have their creepy moments...you never know who exactly is the bad guy in this one. And a HUGE cliffhanger having to do with this side of the story.With the romantic side, there was a fabulous moment that we've been waiting for....well, it seems like forever. But honestly, it just made me more ready for the HEA for these two. I'm ready. I want them to physically be in the same space and have that space be real and normal and happy. That's not asking for too much, right? I just love these characters so much. I want their happily ever after...Soon, I know, it's coming soon. Trying to be patient (and then I will be admittedly sad because it's all over...see, there's just no pleasing me here. LOL.)I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review:
