For Lorelei Clay, no good deed goes unpunished…
Reluctant ghost whisperer Lorelei Clay wants a working moat, which is the only reason she agrees to help with yet another supernatural situation. The simple ghostbusting job quickly escalates when Lorelei discovers the involvement of a powerful and ancient collective not known for their social skills.
Lorelei wants nothing more than to get back to her renovations and her life of solitude, but it becomes painfully clear that if she can’t fix this small-town problem, Fairhaven is going to suffer big-time consequences.
Dead of Night is the second book in the Crossroads Queen urban fantasy series.
Also in this series: Dead to the World, Dead Last
Dead of Night is book two in the Crossroads Queen series by Annabel Chase.
Well not a lot happens in this installment and as for the mystery it was good, but it didn’t have to happen. Lorelei could have avoided the issue on Theodore Street and if she did then we wouldn’t have had the issue of The Collective and all the deaths that occur in this novel.
I did enjoy following our heroine around, getting to know a little more about her, and the kid that comes to visit her at the Castle. I am disappointed in that we haven’t learned more about Lorelei. Their are still lots of questions and very little progress in this area. I’m frustrated with the author keeping us in the dark on Lorelei and why she wants to be alone.
What saves this novel is the secondary characters who are unique and interesting. I’d like to know more about them, but I had fun with Ashely, Otto, Ray, and others.
Dead of Night was an enjoyable paranormal mystery to read.
Rated: 3 Stars
