Kincaid Strange can’t get a break. She’s a necromancer who
raises the dead for a living. Like people who shoot the messenger, clients
aren’t always pleased with what their dearly departed have to say when she
raises them, and they take that out of Kincaid. So how to pay the rent is just
her first worry… her roommate, Nathan Cade, has his own problems. He’s a ghost,
but now he’s stuck in a zombie body that is rapidly breaking down. Kincaid has
no idea how to help him. She’s being stalked by Gideon, the powerful ghost
magician who kind of owns her after a mishap. Then there is her ex, Aaron, the
Seattle cop who is on the supernatural beat. He’s come to her with the problem
of a supernatural serial killer, one who is freezing their victims solid.
Seattle PD has washed its hands of the supernatural bureau, so there is zero
money in it for Kincaid and she finds herself in the freelancer’s usual
position of ‘doing it for the exposure’.
I liked Kincaid, although with the constant action she
really didn’t have much time to show many moods other than ‘exhausted’. I kind
of liked Nate, but he’s immature (although trying) and the stalking of his ex
meant he lost a lot of points with me. The ex-boyfriend/PD guy had no
personality. Gideon has possibilities. I’ll be keeping an eye out for this new
urban fantasy series. This is the second book in the series; I’ve not read the
first one. Four stars.
