Catching back up with medium Billie Culpepper we find her a little on edge and stressed out - a toss up on the winner being between running her fledgling bar the Merry Agnes and the fact that mother nature's monthly call has failed to arrive yet. Detective Mockler is called out to assist on a what seems an open/close case until he finds Cole in the woods dressed only in pajamas not overly far from the dead body that was found. Cole had come into the woods to play with a friend but his description of events start to sound more "spooky" as time goes on. Gantry is figuring out just what he signed up for by shacking up with the beautiful and mysterious Cordelia Du Mar. This is especially true when your love interest is neither dead or alive and has all the time in the world.

Alright... so I'll be honest - I LOVE this series. I believe I found the first book in the series for free on either Nook or Kindle and I have been reading them since 2014 when the first novel came out. The entire series takes place in Canada besides a few spots here and there about Gantry. Although there are indeed nine novels in this series the author doesn't do his fans a disservice. He hasn't slammed books out left and right because the fans ask for them. I find his thoughts in the Afterword completely frank and I appreciated them:

"However, I can't say when the next volume will be out. To be honest, the books are getting harder to write. I don't want to repeat myself or let the stories become formulaic. You deserve better than that. So, for the summer, I'm going to focus on a new series."

If this book sounds appealing to you I highly suggest the series - they're one of those books that before I even realized it I was 70% done even though it felt like I just sat down to read. I would recommend this series to readers who enjoy ghosts, the paranormal/supernatural, psychics/mediums with a splash of romance and the occult. ( )
