"Evil is coming"… just what a cop-turned-PI didn’t want to hear.

 

Ashley Medearis was a great cop until she died. She can’t tell you what’s on the other side, but she came back with the ability to talk with the dead. Her sabbatical lands her in Camden Point, searching for answers, but only finds more questions, a string of missing women, a hot cop in her bed, and a ghost who’s stalking her. 

Small-town police detective and widower Nate Daines moved to Connecticut, hoping to heal his heart. He never expected to find the second love of his life. If only she’d let him love her. Ashley is everything he’s not. He can’t get her out of his head or his heart, but they have a job to do. The clock is ticking with one dead woman, and more missing and now, Ashley might be the next target. He’ll do anything to protect her because they have more than chemistry, more than a case to solve. She’s the other half of his soul.

Ratings and reviews

Ashley Medearis is a cop turned PI that can see ghosts. She works with some unique ladies that have there own abilities. This is a great small town mystery with some paranormal mixed in which happens to be a favorite of mine. Nate is investigating the disappearance of several missing women. He and Ashley have a no strings relationship that develops into more. Whatever it takes to make this relationship work because I love you, Ashley.” “Even if I see dead people?” “Even if, because maybe the

Charming story about a PI who happens to see ghosts. The detective agency helps local police seek missing women. This story has suspense and humor; the characters are appealing and believable (except maybe the part about seeing ghosts). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to read books 1 & 2 since this is part 3 of a series.

This is the first I've read from this series and I'll be going back to read the others. I enjoyed all aspects of this story - the suspense, the plot twists, Ashley and Nate's romance and Ashley finally finding out what happened with her long lost father. Great character-building, humor, suspense and a bit of a tear-jerker at the end.
