It was easy to glide into this book…I thoroughly enjoyed the introductory adventure of Lacey and Sam, the oddly matched couple who have joined forces as a PI team. Lacey is an ex LAPD cop and Sam a Navajo medium.
Their investigation for this second instalment is a little more personal as Sam is asked to look into the death of his cousin…the circumstances are sitting well with Sam’s grandfather.
But this isn’t a straightforward piecing-together of clues. Witches, curses and shapeshifters are added to the mix…and Lacey and Sam find themselves conducting a dangerous investigation.
This sequel certainly lived up to its predecessor. I enjoyed the development of the couple as they grow more comfortable with each other as a team. They’re chalk and cheese, but are gradually settling into each other’s lifestyles. I think I’m looking forward to the progress of their relationship as much as the cases they’re commissioned to solve.
Roll on Case no. 3!

Lacey Fitzpatrick used to be a detective for the LAPD, but now she’s a private investigator. Sam Firecloud works construction, but he’s also a medium who works on the side to release ghosts from their Earthly prison. An unusual partnership formed at the end of book 1, slowly starts to gel as Sam and Lacey feel their way around each other (not that way, you pervs) and mesh how each likes to work to solve a case.

This particular case takes them to Sam’s family on the Navajo reservation. Sam’s cousin has died in what his grandfather believes is not a natural way. The clues are hard to come by, but they chip away at it until the culprit is revealed. Wow. I did not see that coming. Great story! ( )

It's a big difference from ordinary ghosts in LA to the spirit problems of the Navajo, but that's where this partnership has to go to help Samuel's cousin find peace. Meeting Sam's grandfather was the best part, but most of the rest of the family were friendly if a bit overwhelming. So was the murder investigation. Accustomed to regular law and order, finding out that the murderer is a witch is a bit mind boggling, and seeing for herself some manifestations are absolutely terrifying. Excellent read and obviously well researched!
Laura Wilson is a very good narrator, but needs a better sound booth. ( )
