Good sequel but a bit too short. On the other hand this makes me want to read the next one immediately!

I listened to this while on a plane, I caught the beginning and the end and I do not feel like I missed anything in the middle while I was sleeping! This one was slower paced. Calexa ends up living with a woman she initially tried to steal from. The woman is murdered so she spends the whole book trying to figure out what happened to her. And surprise, this woman she barely knew, decided to leave her everything in her will.

I liked this about as good as the first one. Always some crazy twist thrown in - was not expecting Lucinda to be murdered. Ready to know how the story ends with book 3 and didn't realize it's not out until July! Crud.

She calls herself Calexa Rose Dunhill & has been hiding out in Dunhill Cemetery ever since someone left her there to die. She has no idea who wants her dead or why, and is unable to even remember her name. She's searched the missing person reports & can't find anyone that matches her description. A couple of people close by have befriended her & Calexa is simply trying to solve her own almost-murder when one of the few people she can trust is murdered. Able to see & speak to the dead, she must help solve this recent murder while trying to keep from being finished off by her unknown assailant.

This volume wasn't nearly as compelling as the first, mostly because it seemed to be retreading the same ground, only just more of it. Calexa witnesses a murder, gets possessed/inhabited by the spirit of the victim, feels compelled to solve the murder but nearly gets killed herself, the police arrive in the nick of time but are totally incompetent and fail to secure the scene or search the area. Rinse and repeat.

The mystery of who Calexa is and why she was left for dead also only inches forward in this story, though at least we have a face if not a name for her attacker. She has found and lost more than more ally in this story though, and hopefully things will be resolved in the final volume, but it feels like there is too much heavy lifting left to do.
