Meh, is my first reaction to this book. I didn't like it as much as the first, but I liked the idea of it more than than the first, and I like Thane much more than Devlin (shame that Amanda Stevens seems to like Devlin more. I was hoping he was off the scene for good). But the creep factor that was ...

This was definitely a darker book than the first in the series (and ghosts are a dark topic to start with). I found this to be much less of a straightforward mystery than the first book, and more of a story about Amelia's past. I figured out most of her history pretty early on, but that didn't rea...

One where the rules have become a form of law and outsiders are unwelcome. Amelia fin...

I'm beginning to notice a pattern with these books. They have a tendency to make me stay up until all sorts of ungodly hours of the night because I JUST SIMPLY CANNOT PUT THEM DOWN! Even with my trepidation going into this one knowing that one of the characters I loved from book one wouldn't be in i...
