   Fans of Veronica Mars and Buffy the Vampire Slayer will love Daisy Goodnight—she can speak to the dead. It’s not the result of a head injury or some near-death experience. She was just born that way. And she’s really good at it. Good enough to help the police solve the occasional homicide.
  But helping the local authorities clear cold cases is one thing. Being whisked out of chemistry class by the FBI and flown to the scene of a murder/kidnapping in Minnesota?   That’s the real deal.
  Before the promotion can go to Daisy’s head, she’s up to her neck in trouble. The spirits are talking, and they’re terrified. There’s a real living girl in danger. And when Daisy is kidnapped by a crime boss with no scruples about using magic—and Daisy—to get what he wants, it looks like hers is the next soul on the line.

[STAR] “You can’t really beat a story that has hijinks, romance, and…the bones of Sue the T-rex.”—The Bulletin

“This likable, uber-competent heroine’s adventure combines elements of paranormal romance and fast-paced thriller.”—Kirkus Reviews

Another great story from a wonderful author! You can't help but love Daisy Goodnight. Mystery, magic and teenage romance all rolled up in one. I would highly recommend this book! ( )

Daisy Goodnight (cousin to Amy from Texas Gothic) sees ghosts when she touches something belonging to the dead person. While definitely creepy, she's used to it, as it's a family trait. So, being a relatively good person, Daisy's been using her ability to help out local police and - most recently - the FBI. It seems like a run-of-the-mill (though serious, of course) kidnapping until Daisy discovers the kidnapped college girl is the daughter of a scary mob boss. Who has Daisy kidnapped and forces her to swear - magically - to help save his daughter, or else.

Fun and fast-paced, this suspenseful mystery was another delight! There's no need to read the books in published order, but definitely read them both!! ( )

This is technically the second in the "Texas Gothic" series, but it focuses on a completely different character/events and could easily be considered a standalone. Almost-18-year-old Daisy Goodnight can talk to the dead. She is called to consult by the FBI, but things go south quickly when the mobster father of the kidnap victim co-opts Daisy's services for his own sinister purposes. Compelled when he threatens her extended family, Daisy is forced to work with Carson, a young man with ties to the mobster whom Daisy ends up trusting even though she knows she shouldn't.

As always with RCM's writing, the voice is terrific -- funny, snarky, loveable, with tons of pop-culture references. Here is one of my favorite bits (no spoilers):

Carson headed for the coffeemaker -- an apparatus that looked like it could pilot the space shuttle. Maybe someone had gotten a bargain when NASA shut down that program. "The note says there's a bag of bagels by the toaster. You can work a toaster, right?"

"Of course," I answered. Neither of us said anything while Carson ran the coffee grinder, but once he'd measured out the grounds and, I don't know, programmed a geosynchronous orbit, he turned to me."

I love how creepy the cover is and I have already read The Splendour Falls by this author and remember how surprisingly creepy that novel was. However, this novel isn't creepy at all, but I found it enjoyable nonetheless.

There was lots of action and adventure, which I appreciated and I didn't expect any of the twists, which was nice. Some of the romance was a bit cringey, but I've definitely seen worse in other novels, so I wasn't too fazed by it.

I really enjoyed the action scenes in the book as no two were alike and took place in several different locations, which made it so that I was hooked all the way through and I'm sure you will be too if you decide to give it a go. ( )
