This is definitely one of the writer's better written books. The story was about Anne Silver avenging her reporter brother's attempted murder by a bunch of thieves stealing valuables disguised as de-ghost experts. Since Anne was just an ordinary woman with no special investigative skills or training, she sought out Julian Aries' help in exposing these phonies. Julian was an FBI agent who promised to come back to her after he finished his then assignment. The problem was he never showed up, and as much as Anne hated him, she was left with no choice but to turn to him for advice and help. The story went on about how they set up the plan and trapped these cons in a haunted house and how they fell in each other's arm during the process.
All in all, it is page-turner with an intriguing plot. Both characters were well developed, and the twist at the end was a sure surprise. I also like it when the writer added in a touch of supernatural spirit to spice up the story. If it were not for the silly gibberish quarrel that the heroine picked up at the first few chapters and some occasional typos, this book would warrant a FIVE-star. Anyhow, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a fast-paced, suspenseful gothic with strong sexual tension blended in it.

Not particularly impressed with this book. Characters are completely one dimensional. Not really interesting due to personal immaturity.
