Mists
of the Past (Book 2)
Darcy Sweet,
psychic bookstore owner and mystery lover, is back!
Now, she’s
dating the police detective (how cliché) and something from his past is
haunting him. Well, not literally, but there was this unsolved case that
prompted his move to Darcy’s town. Now, he’s getting threatening letters and he
thinks the killer is in town, so the couple must work together to solve this
old case.
Basically,
the story involved talking to old ghosts of the past. It was slow and centered
mostly on the lovey dovey couple, which was very distracting. Very
anticlimactic in the end.
From
the Ashes (Book 3)
Darcy is
helping a young girl, who is haunted by her mother’s death. Again, not
literally, but the mother supposedly died in a house fire and the daughter just
wants closure. What could she have seen that day that spooked her? What really
happened to the mother? Could she actually still be alive?
This one
starts a lot quicker than Book 2. I enjoyed the mystery concerning the mother’s
death and the fire.
The
Ghost of Christmas (Book 4)
An angry
ghost comes knocking on Darcy’s door, seeking justice for his murder. Apparently
he was murdered on Christmas 20 years ago. And things between her and Jon are
bumpy, which was good! I thought the couple was too perfect, which is dull.
Could the
guy have been killed by the Santa suit? Was the suit haunted? Mmmm. This was an
interesting angle, if only you didn’t have all the Christmas crap.
The
Stolen Valentine (Book 5)
The Season
of Love – Blah!
Too much
V-Day. Again, this had a slow start. It doesn’t get interesting until Chapter 5
with the missing brother-in-law, but the mystery was just too dull to keep up.
Hiding
from Death (Book 6)
Another slow
one. It just seems that each book after the first just kept getting less and
less supernatural. I mean, Darcy’s a psychic for godsakes!
Overall,
these mysteries were not that great and did not compare to the first book,
which was one I really loved.
Overall rating: 2
stars
