About this listen
Unemployed accountant Sophie Masterson never dreams that a trip to Salem on Halloween night will change her life forever. When a birthday gift of a psychic reading is thrust upon her by her best friend, Sophie has no choice but to play along. She wants the winning lottery numbers but, instead, receives something far more ominous - a warning of things to come. Being told her own clairvoyant abilities will soon surface should be enough to send any woman running to hide. Throw in the possibility that something sinister is headed her way and all she wants is an easy out.
When asked to help her brother, the police chief, with some easy filing, she's sure that her problems are over. She now has an income, a job, and a safe haven where she can relax. What she doesn't expect is that one of those files will be the catalyst to set the wheels in motion for the predictions to come true.
Detective Jack Love has a hard time following instructions. When his latest bust gets him benched, and shoved in the cold case filing room, the last thing he expects is to be tasked with babysitting the chief's sister. When unqualified and in-need-of-medication Sophie gets the crazy idea to play detective on a case gone cold, there is little he can do to dissuade her from investigating.
Attempting to keep her clairvoyant abilities a secret, Sophie Masterson thrusts herself into a cold case where the dead are multiplying, the clues are disappearing, and the hunky cop assigned to play babysitter is a nonbeliever. She doesn't hold out much hope for solving the case, much less keeping her secret, especially when the dead seek her out to tell their tales.
When Sophie plays a deadly game of cat and mouse with winner takes all, it's no longer the dead that scare her, but Jack Love. Surviving with her heart intact now ranks at the top of her list.

Broke and living in a one-bedroom apartment the size of a closet is not what you’d expect from an elite hunter like me. But hunting demons and half-breeds isn’t your average nine-to-five job with benefits. The hours are long and the pay usually sucks. I didn’t think I was going to make rent again until the Council, the group of angel-born who’d shunned me all those years ago, offered me a job - a paying one.I could either tell them to shove it, or take the job. So what’s a gal to do? Take the gig, of course.

I ENJOYED LISTENING TO THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST BOOKS I HAVE LISTEN TO. THIS BOOK HAD LOT MYSTERY I DIDN'T REALLY CARE FOR THE MALE NARRATOR HE SOUNDED LIKE HE HAD A COLD OR AN OLD MAN. THE STORY WAS INTERESTING AND MYSTERIOUS, IT REALLY KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. I'M GETTING READY TO LISTEN TO BOOK 2 RIGHT NOW WITH HOPES OF THIS NEXT ONE TO JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER THEN BOOK 1.
