MY REVIEW -
This was a fun, clean paranormal story full of action. The mystery in this one was very good, intriguing. It took me a while to get into it because I had read the first one so long ago - so I had to kind of play catch up with who was who and what had happened. But once I did all that - I really enjoyed this one.
The character development was great. I don't remember liking Cassie as much in the first book, but I really liked her in this one. I think her personality really took shape here. And I also really liked Evan too, I am still trying to figure out if he is a true good guy or bad. I'm hoping we will find out in the third book. My only problem was that there was a lot of characters, kind of too many for me to keep track of. But I liked all the main ones, well done!
"Yesterday afternoon, a ghost robbed the Eagle Rock Savings and Loan." I took the phone away from my ear and stared at it for a minute. When it started shouting "Hello?" at me, I put the phone back to my ear. "Sharif," I said. "Why would a ghost rob a bank?"
I am currently reading the third book in the series - "Mind Games" and will have my review up next Mon. the 9th. So far I am liking it as well :-)
Thanks to the author, Christine Amensden, for sending me this book for free for my honest review!
