A fun read. Enjoyable and quick. Wouldn't mind reading it again. ( )

A year ago Leslie MacIntyre barely survived an accident that killed her fiance Matt Connolly, she's now left with an ability to communicate with ghosts. She's now back in Manhattan investigating a newly discovered burial ground. There are restless ghosts and torn by her feelings by Matt's cousin Joe. She also has to deal with the power of an evil mind who is determined to hurt her.

It was pretty predictable but enjoyable. ( )

A suspense story with a paranormal element (ghosts). While this is a type of story that generally appeals to me, I found this one to be just so-so. The basic mystery is a variation on who is kidnapping and probably killing the prostitutes and takes place in New York City.

I have sort of mixed feelings about this book. It started out shaky for me — the first time Leslie sat in a room and had a conversation with a ghost, I couldn’t stop myself from rolling my eyes — but eventually it grew on me. Since I have no problem reading books with vampires and werewolves and witches, it’s a little strange to me that I would have that reaction about ghosts, but I think it’s because those other types of characters can interact with everyone, and not just select people. Regardless, I did find myself pulled into this story and wondering just who was trying to kill Leslie, what happened to Genevieve and the other girls, and who was the real target, Matt or Leslie? I liked Joe a lot, even if his morals were a little over the top. Most of all, I have to give Graham some props for a completely unexpected and unconventional ending — I wouldn’t have expected it in a million years. That’s nice. ( )

An excellent book with a bittersweet ending. I'd love to read a sequel. The ending brought me to tears. ( )

Book description
A year ago, archaeologist Leslie MacIntyre barely survived the explosion that took the life of her fiancé, Matt Connolly. In the long months since, she's slowly come to terms not only with her loss but with her unsettling new ability to communicate with ghosts, a dubious “gift” received in the wake of her own brush with death. Now she's returned to lower Manhattan's historic Hastings House, site of the explosion, to conquer her fears and investigate a newly discovered burial ground. In this place restless spirits hold the secrets not only of past injustice but of a very real and very contemporary conspiracy with deadly designs on the city's women - including Leslie herself. By night Matt visits her in dreams, warning her and offering clues to the truth, while by day she finds herself helped by - and attracted to - his flesh-and-blood cousin Joe. Torn by her feelings for both men, caught between the worlds of the living and the dead, Leslie struggles against the encroaching danger that threatens to overcome her. As she is drawn closer to the darkness at the heart of Hastings House, she must ultimately face the power of an evil mind, alone in a place where not even the men she love can save her.
