Publisher's Summary
From Shani Struthers, author of The Haunting of Highdown Hall.
"This isn't a ghost we're dealing with. If only it were that simple…."
Eighteen years ago, when psychic Ruby Davis was a child, her mother - also a psychic - suffered a nervous breakdown. Ruby was never told why. "It won't help you to know," was the only answer she was ever given. Fast forward to the present and Ruby is earning a living from her gift, running a high street consultancy - Psychic Surveys - specialising in domestic spiritual clearance.
Boasting a strong track record, business is booming. Dealing with spirits has become routine, but there is more to the paranormal than even Ruby can imagine. Someone - something - stalks her, terrifying but also strangely familiar. Hiding in the shadows, it is fast becoming bolder. The only way to fight it is for the past to be revealed, no matter what the danger.
When you can see the light, you can see the darkness, too. And - sometimes - the darkness can see you.

Great Series
I liked the first book so I decided to keep on reading. It was a great story and I like the characters. My one issue was that we didnt get to experience Cash and Ruby finally getting together, the time jump was unexpected. Great message overall

Cheesy, Predictable, and Cringe Inducing
I liked the first instalment of the series well enough so I was happy too give this one a shot but it was awful. The plot is exceptionally predictable. Essentially as soon as you know what the main conflict is you know exactly what's going to happen. I love a long book but a 10 hour book with literally no surprises like this one really drags on.
The author just spends hours of the book really beating you over the head with the idea that "Love is the most powerful force!" She may as well just use a hammer to pound it into your skull every second page. Absolutely no subtlety, just a constant morality message being thrown in your face.
There were quite a lot of really uncomfortable moments in the book that made me question if maybe that author is a little too out of touch with current pop culture to convincingly write from the point of view such young characters. There are a few cringe worthy moments through out the book where characters act like basic computer and smart phone skills are essentially magic. A few One Direction mentions even though the book was released a couple years after they stopped being really relevant. And a weird moment near the end where the main character is worried her butt's too big. Not to mention a very uncomfortable sex scene where apparently accidentally scratching your partners back is absolutely scandalously kinky. Just stuff that makes you think the book is being written by someone with only a vague sense of what an early twenties woman is like now. In fact her most compelling characters are her older ones. I wish she would stick to them.
The narrators voice is beautiful but just completely wrong for this book. She makes everyone sound like a pensioner. I think that is probably another reason why the main character is just entirely unconvincing as a young woman. She sounds like a grandmother reading a story book out to her grandkids. She puts on weird, unpleasant whine for the lead. She also makes all of the male characters sound like complete idiots. She lowers her voice to do any male dialog in a way that makes the voice seem more appropriate for the Moose character in the old Archie comics than anything else.
I'd love to see this author and narrator team up with something like an Agatha Christie style mystery where they could but really use their strengths but as far as this book goes, it's practically unlistenable.
