Raintree: Haunted
is a really cool and unusual detective romance story with ghosts and
supernatural powers that provide the paranormal ambiance. The reader is
immediately drawn into the characters and the search for justice.
Gideon Raintree is a fun hero. He talks to ghosts, inhales lightning
and sometimes glows in the dark. Talking to ghosts comes in handy since
he is a policeman on the homicide beat. The trouble is that a partner
might discover his paranormal powers. Hope Malory comes to Wilmington
NC and is assigned to be his partner. He will do just about anything to
get rid of her and work alone again including taking her to bed....but
the real trouble may be all these ghosts begging him to avenge their
deaths and catch the serial killer.
Secrets abound and heighten the suspense and paranormal attraction.
Gideon must use his powers to track down the killer and fears his
partner will expose him. Are the ghosts helping his investigation or
leading him into the hands of the killer? Although he easily identifies
the ghosts of homicide victims, one apparition remains mysterious. Who
and where is Emma?
Both the hero and heroine are somewhat lost or wounded souls in the
"normal" world and somehow, despite many chilling and humorous
meanderings, find their way to a better place than the "normal" world.
She is strong and dynamic. He is strong yet soulful with touches of
gentleness despite the electrical power coursing through his body. A
thoroughly wonderful read!
