The theme for this series is paranormal with some romance. I say some because really Eve Dallas, while romantic, is more futuristic detective than true romance.

Haunted in Death is an Eve Dallas story. There's a murder, there's a skeleton found and theres a story to unravel. There's also strange goings on in the building and Eve remains skeptical while all around her ask if ghosts are real.

Poppy's Coin by Mary Blayney could have lost the framing story of an American abroad and not missed much, except possibly the reinforcement of the magical elements of the coin. The story is mostly about a couple in Regency England and their wishes for love. Pretty standard story.

Ruth Ryan Langan's The Passenger is a story about a ghost, some people who need each other and some stretching of time. This one came across as the story with the most paranormal elements. A bit predictable though.

Mellow Lemon Yellow by Mary Kay McComas is the story of a woman whose "imaginary friend" comes to visit when she loses her parents and helps her find a more solid sense of self and love.

Overall the J D Robb story was the most solid, the others were pretty predictable romances, readable but nothing that really stood out exceptionally. ( )

Just okay for me. I enjoyed the Eve Dallas story, but the rest were just kinda eh for me. Not a big romance reader anyway. If you enjoy romances, this would be a good read, otherwise read the first story and skip the rest. ( )

I like the Eve Dallas series. It is a quick, easy read that does not need much thought. I was not that impressed with the rest. They were ok. ( )

A lovely, short interlude with Eve, where she faces a mystery that might have a paranormal element - something she refuses to believe in. Well told and fits nicely in a paranormal anthology without going over the top about it and changing the essence of Eve and her stories. ( )
