This book is the second in the series after The Last Victim and the publisher sent me a free e-arc.
Even though I have been reading books by her for over 20 years and she is one of my favorite authors, I was hesitant about this series. I really love romantic suspense when it is well-written. What made me hesitate was the hero. Michael was convicted of being a vicious serial killer and is currently on death row when Dr. Charlie Stone starts to study him as part of her research. Nothing too out of the ordinary yet. That comes when Michael is stabbed to death by another inmate and his spirit attached itself to Charlie. Yeah- the hero is a convicted, dead serial killer.
But don't stop reading because of that! Both books contain a fabulous mystery, a love-triangle, a fun secondary couple and some really hot ghost/dream sex. I have no idea how Ms. Robards will end this series, but I cannot wait.
Book 2 takes up about 30 seconds after Book 1 ends. This time, a new serial killer comes to Charlie's door and she calls on Tony and his FBI team for help. The best parts are when Michael contributes to the investigation. Not only can he converse with the other spirits, he actually has a good head for this work and helps solve the case.
I hope the next book is about how Michael was convicted in the first place because it looks like he was innocent. Which would totally solve the icky loving-a-serial-killer issue that Charlie faces. I cannot wait to see how the series ends. It is romance after all and there has to be a happy ending somewhere!
Rated A
