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.

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.
