I'm very picky about my Brockmann books. I certainly don't like all of them and was hesitant to read this one because of the mixed reviews. But I'm going to have to side with the ones who enjoyed this book.
I thought the story was interesting and I liked the paranormal aspect. It wasn't exactly unique but it was fun. The characters were great and I liked the fact that they had some wonderful side characters I would love to read more about like Bev and Charlie's story or even Tom and Rose's romance. I totally thought Joe and Hugh would hook up but oh well.
I have to say Alison isn't the most likable character or the smartest, but somehow in the end you want her to win.
It also was nice to read a Brockmann book where she doesn't pussyfoot around cuss words. In some of her works, she kind of dances around it which I had found somewhat annoying. Here, she just says it.
There are parts of Jim's narration that were slow and there were some repeats (more like things that were mentioned a few times). I find the different points of view kind of nice. I also liked the story within a story tactic. I know that's what Brockmann did with "Unsung Hero" as well. I haven't read enough Brockmann to know if this is a trademark of hers.
I thought this one was worth the read. It isn't typical of what Brockmann writes but I still thought it was pretty good. Truthfully, I wouldn't want to read an author who only writes one kind of story.
