Wiccan Gavenia Kingsgrave's psychic gift, the ability to talk to the dead, comes with strings attached. As a Shepherd, she escorts them into the hereafter, but not all the souls want to cross over, and some can be downright vicious. When her latest case involves a heart-breaking hit-and-run victim, Gavenia is stressed to the max. The last thing she needs is a no-nonsense private detective on her tail, even if he is a handsome Irishman. Former homicide detective Douglas O'Fallon possesses his own psychic gift, one he's denied for years. Hired by a wealthy client to prove that Gavenia is a con artist, he is skeptical of the witch's claims she can speak to the dead. If he finds her gift to be genuine, then he will be forced to accept his own. When their two cases intersect, opposites attract. But will they be able to set their differences aside long enough to outwit their foes - both the living and the dead?… (more)

In this intriguing genre-blender, Jana Oliver mixes urban fantasy with gritty crime thriller, grown-up romance with police procedural. A lot to bake in, but she writes with such a deft command of language, and creates such complex, sympathetic characters, that I wanted to devour it all.

This author just keeps getting better. ( )

I am a huge fan of Oliver’s Demon Trappers series and really wanted to read something else by her. This book started a bit rough for me. I wasn’t drawn into the story right away and had a hard time connecting with Gavenia and O’Fallon. However, things picked up quickly and I ended up being completely drawn into the story. I also enjoyed the complex characters and the fact that they were older and had some history to them.

This ended up being a very quick read for me, despite its long length. This is a complex story but it does a great job of wrapping up most of the storylines in a single book. There’s a lot of paranormal elements in here, a lot of investigative elements, and a bit of romance. At times the story has a noir feel to it as well. All these elements were deftly blended together to create an engaging and unique story.

Overall I was impressed with the complexity of the story and characters and with how engaging it was. The book did start a bit slow; it would have been a 5 star read for me if it had had a better start. I would definitely recommend to adult paranormal fans out there. ( )
