First one to actually be spooky. Also definitely the best mystery so far in the series. Feels like the author leveled up with this one.

4.5 stars I am so glad I continued reading past the rocky start of the first book. I'm having so much fun with this series! It keeps getting better and better, and can't wait for the fourth book to get an audio.

Okay I still like it, but I just not in the mood to continue with the series anymore. Maybe later

The way that I hissed out loud, "Don't you dare..." at the last couple of chapters of this book...

As with most series, especially mystery series, things tend to ramp up the further into the series you get. And that's certainly true in this case. Spooky Business went to some very dark, very strange places with Rain right at the heart of it all. 

Rain's trying to understand, manage, and even control his abilities more and more. But that's not always how things work with him. And while his job is often very physically dangerous - even if some of the situations he finds himself in are downright hilarious - he's also finding that the spiritual dangers can take their own toll, too. 

It doesn't take much for shit to hit the fan, especially when a known serial killer seems to be pulling all the strings. But as always, Rain is determined to find answers, and get to the bottom of things - even if that involves tying a lot of convoluted strings together the more he uncovers. As always, Rain has support in Danny through it all. 

Rain and Danny are still going strong, even learning to communicate better, which I appreciate wholeheartedly. It's not easy - their jobs are demanding, and oftentimes harrowing. But they support each other, and they work through challenges together. And they were certainly hit with a couple of major challenges this time around. 

This series is going down as one of my favourites. I love these characters, and I love this setting. And I love watching Rain grow into his abilities, accept them, and learn how to utilize them to their fullest potential. And watching Rain and Danny build their future together brings me nothing but major joy.

This series just gets better and better. The writing, the humor, the character growth - all of it is amazing.
Book 2 is still my favorite so far but I thoroughly enjoyed this new addition. The mystery is interesting and the relationship development between Rain and Danny was perfect. I love how real their relationship is. I love that they talk things out, even when it takes a while to get there sometimes. Their love for each other is genuine and deep and they’re working hard for their HEA.

Rain's snark is hilarious. Danny is swoonworthy.

Letto di filato con i due volumi precedenti, viene spontaneo confrontarli.
Il viaggio verso il serioso/truculento/splatter continua. I fantasmi sono descritti in modo più drammatico e horror, se vogliamo, anche se non mancano anche accenni di spiritelli simpatici o buoni.
Lo ammetto: mi manca la spensieratezza del primo volume. Ho adorato quel sovrannaturale scanzonato e irriverente, ma temo che quella nave sia salpata e che questa sia la strada presa dall’autrice.
Rimane l’ironia impagabile di Rain e il mio amore assoluto per lui e la sua caratterizzazione; in ugual misura, amo l’animo da eroe stoico di Danny e tutta la combriccola di parenti/amici/colleghi che li supporta.
Lavoro e vita privata scorrono intrecciati, e i nostri eroi devono imparare a convivere con un sovrannaturale invadente e imprevedibile. Interessanti i vari casi da risolvere.
Peccato che il finale sia un grosso cliffhanger, cosa che io odio di cuore. Il quarto volume mi toccherà andare a leggerlo in inglese, o morire di curiosità… se solo Rain venisse ad aiutarmi…
