Short description
After sequestering herself to the tiny island of St. Simons, Georgia, Adelaide's plan to 'get normal' goes awry after a crackpot astrologist predicts she’ll meet with death. Now ghosts are appearing and Adelaide Graves is forced to admit that she has unwittingly acquired another gift.Extended description
To Adelaide Graves, being empathic isn’t a gift, it’s a curse. To her nothing could be worse than the barrage of emotions that are constantly seeping in, that is, until she started seeing ghosts. Such gifts don’t go unnoticed by Reed Wallace, the island’s richest celebrity, who is quick to use his own gift to strong-arm Adelaide. Luckily, she’s half-immune to his unnatural charm, though not to his blackmail. Now his scheming has got her neck-deep in a dangerous race, desperate to find a demon diary, the key to unlocking another realm.Tags

liked the book a lot! Do have some gripes though... one major gripe, one middlin gripe and one weasley little gripe.
First, though, I'd say this author really has a talent & I got very involved in the world as presented. Especially the idea that an empath would rather avoid people than be lovey-dovey & understanding.
Major gripe -- the story just stops! Right in the middle of everything it just STOPS! This is not nice. I've read many, many serials, trilogies, etc. and this is just not the same thing. I was left feeling kind of ripped off emotionally. Why not clearly label a work as a
cliff-hanger" if that's what it is?
Second, middlin' gripe: All of a sudden the heroine jumps into the back of the truck belonging to this crazy, dangerous, torturing bad-guy -- even though all the previous story was built on how scared (with good reason) she was of him. Duh? very psychologically unlikely!
Tiney little gripe... in one passage the heroine realizes something and this is portrayed as having "donned" on her. Mispelling is rampant on the internet & I do a lot myself when it just seems too much trouble to correct it... This, though looks like a major flaw in understanding. the term is "dawned" -- as in the morning sun rising to illuminate something that was previously dark & hard to see.
I am left wondering wth is don, and why is he interested in "donning" on people.
I really did like the story, but I don't think I will read another by this author. I very much disliked the way it simply quit... no closure, no nothing...

Amazing book! I couldn't put it down...it is definitely on a par with any of the current bestseller urban fantasy types, like Kim Harrison's Books of the Hollows and the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse novels & rivaling the Harper Connelly series, also by Harris. I don't have much money for books, so I was thrilled that this novel was free, but having read it, I feel a bit guilty for not paying...it was that good. Adelaide was amazing as a quirky heroine, but completely herself--not an amalgem of other author's heroines. I cannot WAIT for the next installment!!!
