First in an excitingly different and new paranormal series. Zo‘ Martinique has turned her unusual ability into a career. When she's traveling, she can't be seen which makes her an ideal professional snoop. Industrial espionage, surveillance, whatever. But one night things get out of hand while she's outof- body. She witnesses a murder and a soul stealing, and discovers she has unwelcome company: Trench- Coat, a ghostly killer who can see and hurt her. Teaming up with a blue-eyed police detective, she tries to solve the case and improve her love life. She also enlists the support of her psychic mother and the ghostly couple who haunt her house. And with murderers, kidnappers, and a desperate ex-porn star involved, Zo‘ needs all the help she can get.

All the characters are totally flat and for the most-part unlikeable. The last third I actually just skimmed throug...
Actual rating: 2.5 stars (The last 30 pages or so earned it the extra half star.) This book...the premise was intriguing, but I felt the execution was somewhat lacking. I think one of my main problems was that the overall tone of the book didn't match the subject matter. It's like the book could...
The concept seemed interesting to start, but I had to give the book up halfway through because the protagonist was SO. EFFING. STUPID. She has the ability to astrally project herself and makes a living spying for people -- the morality of which, by the way, is never questioned, although it would cer...
