Recent college grad Alex Conner is thrilled to have landed a job as the Hughes County coroner/medical examiner in Pierre, South Dakota. But when her first day on the job ends with a missing corpse, Alex starts to wonder if she would have been better off collecting unemployment... When the cops made some cryptic comments about being careful with the body they brought in, Alex just thought the boys in blue were messing with her. That is, until something freaky happens that no amount of med school could have prepared her for. By the time Alex gets herself together, the body has disappeared and the other residents of the morgue start talking her ear off. After working up the courage to report the missing body, Alex is transferred to the mysterious Precinct 13 where she discovers that her new co-workers—including a cute technomage named Jack—are paranormals just like her. Now, Alex is being encouraged to use her ability to speak to the dead to solve crimes. And despite being in the middle of nowhere, Hughes County sure does have a lot of paranormal activity…

All I'm going to say at the moment is. It could have been better. I was gripped enough by wanting to know what was happening, but felt let down by character building. Most of them felt wooden. This book was lacking in believability.
Kinda disappointed this isn't a series. There is obviously a lot of room for future story lines. Maybe some day. I devoured this book and would love to read more of this world and these characters. I feel like we just got started.
Enjoyable lead and secondary characters. It got a little rushed at the end, but I liked the world this was set in. Easily would have worked as a series (this is a stand alone).
So much promise from the book blurb - but the author completely failed to deliver on it. Main character was very blah, in fact whole story was blah. Don't waste your money.
Review to come, I really enjoyed this.
