Why did you read it: Was the third in an ongoing series
What was it about: A Terror born of Jack the Ripper
The details of the crime scene are no coincidence. The body-a promising starlet-has been battered, bloodied and then discarded near two of Manhattan’s oldest graveyards.
One look and Detective Jude Crosby recognizes the tableau: a re-creation of Jack the Ripper’s gruesome work. But he also sees something beyond the actions of a mere copycat. Something more dangerous..and more unexplainable.
As the city seethes with suspicion, Jude calls on Whitney Tremont, a member of the country’s preeminent paranormal investigating team, to put the speculation to rest. Yet when Whitney and Jude delve deeper, what they discover is more shocking then either could have predicted, and twice as sinister…
Who was your favorite Character: Andrew, Jude’s father
How did you feel after reading it: It was sort of hard to finish this book because I thought it was a trilogy but then found out there was another coming out as well. I was on the edge of my seat with this book. Normally when I read mysteries I don't have a clue who the killer is. This time I had two guesses, the two that the author wanted me to have. And without giving anything else away, I'm going to stop there and let you enjoy the book :D

Why did you read it: Second in a really good mystery series
What was it about: Emerging from the bayou like an apparition, Donegal Plantation is known for its unsurpassed dining, captivating atmosphere, haunting legends…and now a corpse swinging from the marble angel that marks its cemetary’s most majestic vault. A corpse discovered in nearly the same situation as that of Marshall Donegal, the patriarch killed in a skirmish just before the Civil War.
Desperate for help traditional criminologists could never provide, plantation heiress Ashley Donegal turns to an elite team of paranormal investigators who blend hard forensics with rare-often inexplicable-intuition. Among the “Krewe of Hunters” is an old flame, Jake Mallory, a gifted musician with talent stretching far beyond the realm of the physical, and a few dark ghosts of his own.
The evil the team unveils has the power to shake the plantation to its very core. Jake and Ashley are forced to risk everything to unravel secrets that will not stay buried-even in death…
Who was your favorite Character: Beth the cook
How did you feel after reading it: It was good book and was eager to read the third in the series. It's nice to read a book about FBI and what not that doesn't include a fight between FBI and local law inforcement. I am really enjoying this series.

Phantom Evil

Why did you read it: It looked good and I enjoy reading Heather Graham
What was it about: A secret government unit is formed under the oversight of Adam Herrison, famed Paranormal investigator. The six members he’s gathered know a little of the otherworldly-each has honed a psychic talent of their own.
Jackson Crow, part English, part Cheyenne, heads the group. Haunted by his experience with an ancestral ghost who saved his life as a child, and the recent murders of two previous teammates, Jackson can’t tell if Adam’s demoted him or given him an extraordinary opportunity. Despite his link to the realm of spirits, he’s well aware that the living commit the most heinous crimes, with spiritualist charlatans existing emrely to fool and seduce the unwary.
To counterbalance Jackson’s careful skepticism, Adam Harrison has paired him with Angela Hawkins, a young woman who learned a painful lesson of loss at an early age. A police officer utilizing her paranormal intuition in Virginia, she already has her hands full. But Adam’s call to New Orleans is strong.
The case: In a historic mansion in New Orleans French Quarter, a senator’s wife falls to her death from a balcony. Most think she jumped, distraught over the loss of her young son. Some say she was pushed. And yet others believe she was beckoned by the ghostly spirits that inhabit the house-once the site of a serial killer’s grisly work.
Whether supernatural or all too human, crimes of passion, greed and desire will cast the pair into danger of losing their lives…and their immortal souls.
Who was your favorite Character: Whitney
How did you feel after reading it: It was a good book and I’m eager to read the next one. It reminded me a lot of Kay Hooper's Bishop FBI series but I think I might have liked this a bit better. It wasn't as technical, as this group is working along side the police but working separately. The romance was a nice touch and it was refreshing to read a story where it was more the couple embracing their feelings for one another instead of fighting the attraction between the two. I am looking forward to starting the second one back up because I had already started and got about 40 pages in before I realized it was the second book in a series.
