Blurb:Allison Lopez is not your everyday Psychic Hotline operator. She's a real psychic with real abilities that seem to grow daily, thanks to her close association with an immortal friend. Now, as her abilities continue to grow, Allison meets a very strange woman who reveals a starling secret to her. Life, for Allison Lopez, is about to get even stranger... and more fantastic.
And when she gets a phone call from a distraught father seeking answers to his daughter's murder, Allison finds herself in unfamiliar territory: looking for a cold-blooded killer. It will take all of Allison's abilities, both old and new, to catch an animal who preys on the innocent. And as the case unfolds, Allison is about to discover that not all is as it seems and life still has a few tricks up its sleeve.
This book meets my Haunted space requirement for #SFvFBingo being hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm!
This story was a bit unusual. I read this book purely based on the cover and the title. And while the title and the cover fit the story, it didn’t go in the direction I assumed it would. Well, you know what they say about assuming….
It’s a bit on the short end. And it was pretty straight forward with little to no side story, unless you count the one guy who keeps calling to speak with her, but that doesn’t really go anywhere.
A nice ghost/mystery story with a bit of scary thrown in. A lot of it was back story and it was a bit vague. I did enjoy her profession, it made me snort laugh. There was not a whole lot that stood out to me or that I connected with. It was a cute, short ghost story.
I don’t think I’ll read more in this series because I don’t feel the need or want to.
