I am going to start this review by stating that I prefer this authors Psychic Eye series. Having said that, dont let that sway you from checking out this series. I enjoyed meeting M.J. and her partner Gilley. I also liked that M.J. has a parrot she named Doc after her infamous ancestor, Doc Holliday. The bird is quite the character. He talks and sometimes says some very inappropriate things, such as singing Y.M.C.A. or some cute things like calling M.J.s client Dr. Delicious. Steven Sable is M.J.s love interest and client and has his plate full just trying to make himself understood. He didnt grow up in America, so his vocabulary is a little different. When he and M.J. share a drink one night, he refers to it as a nightgown instead of a night cap.

Though I found the story to be interesting, I felt like there were a lot of details that didnt seem to fit and made it a little bit hard to follow. First of all, Stevens grandfather has died under mysterious circumstances so he hired M.J. to look into it to determine if it was really suicide. During this time, Gilley has a nasty encounter with an angry ghost who pushes him down the stairs. Obviously, I am led to think that Stevens grandfather was pushed to his death by the same ghost. The story veers off into a sub-plot involving Stevens birthright, the father who has never acknowledged his existence, paternity tests and shady land deals. When I got to the end, I am left still wondering if Stevens father is really his father and what his intentions were throughout the story.

Im hoping some of these details get clarified in the next book as it appears that Steven will be a regular part of M.J.s life. Overall, though there are a lot of confusing details that left me with more questions than answers, I am curious enough about the series to find out where it will lead me to next.
