Summary

A big storm is brewing, there's a killer on the loose, and the ghosts of Myrtle Beach are restless. Psychic medium Simon Kincaide and his sexy cop boyfriend, homicide detective Vic D'Amato, have their hands full helping the Grand Strand brace for rough surf, driving rain, and high winds as a winter storm roars toward shore. 

Everyone's on edge, and rumors are rampant about sightings of Blackcoat Benny, a ghostly omen of danger, and worse, the Gallows Nine, the spirits of nine infamous criminals hanged back in the 1700s, a harbinger of disaster. Rough tides wash the wreck of an old pirate ship into shallow waters, high winds threaten to damage an old mansion with a dark past, and the citizens of the beach town hunker down to ride out the storm. 

As the skies grow dark and the sea turns wild, several men from prominent local families end up dead under suspicious circumstances. Simon's premonition confirms Vic's gut feeling - the killing is just getting started. As Simon tries to reach out to the spirits of the murdered men to help the investigation, he's attacked by malicious ghosts that don't want anyone getting in the way of their long-overdue vengeance.

Another Entertaining Story with Simon and Vic

Book 2 in the Badlands series and we are back with Simon and Vic. I am beginning to really like this couple, Simon with his psychic gifts and Vic the cop, they make a really good team and are so protective of each other.

In this book they now live together and have been a couple for almost a year. At the start of book 1 Vic was definitely a cynic when it came to the afterlife but by the end of the book he couldn’t not believe. Now Vic is on board with all Simon’s gifts and Simon helps the police with anything “hinky”. We meet all the interesting characters from the last book plus some new ghosts. These ghosts are pretty scary with evil intent and the mystery all centres around pirates, a sunken ship, 9 pirates who were hung and an evil landowner who has no intention of relinquishing his estate. It is coming up to the 250 year anniversary of these events and a terrible storm is forecast for Myrtle Beach moving the wreck and starting a chain of events.

As usual Simon has his band of unusual friends, all with their own gifts, watching his back and help from an unexpected source all helping to make this another entertaining book.

Sweet Couple, Just What I Needed

The corny-cuteness of this series was just what I was in the mood for today. Plus Kale Williams' narration seriously hit the spot. Comfort listen, yep perfection.
