"<br/> <br /><br /><br/> This is the type of book I love to hate. There is a lot in here that is just dumb drivel. I do not need to hear how the dark mysterious handsome gentleman is so mysterious every few pages. Or handsome. Or speaks with a Southern drawl. Really. I got it. The first time. But I kept wanting to find out the ending so I kept reading...furiously. Not super duper scary but I am a wuss so I was a little jumpy after reading it right before bed. The "bad guy" was easy to figure out but there were some plot twists that kept me entertained and it was fun to figure out. Fast pace. Loved the descriptions of the South and the old creepy graveyards."

"Fun with a bit more of a quiet, macabre bent than most urban fantasy. Heroine is not 'uber end-all-be-all kick-ass zomg' superhero, just a regular woman who sees ghosts...unfortunately. She's got a quiet, normal career, a quiet, normal life, and ends up finding something that pulls her into something not so quiet or normal. Enjoyed it very much -- the rest of the series is on my to-read list, with the next book on my reader already."
