I have mixed feelings about this book. The premise is intriguing, and it starts out ok - Brianna Winston-Beaufort has inherited her uncle's law practice in Savannah, Georgia. Her first case comes when she gets a call from a local businessman - and finds out he called her after he was killed; then his successor hires her to prove that he was murdered.

I found the paranormal aspects to be a refreshing change from the norm out there, but what irritated me was how long it took Bree to finally ASK her colleagues about the strange phenomena when it was made obvious from the beginning that they knew much more about it than she did. I understand the author trying to draw out the suspense, but it just became ridiculous. And the twists of the mystery took a back seat to the paranormal, so the resolution was not very satisfying. It could have been handled better. Which is a pity, because it was going along fine until just past halfway through the book, and then the story just seemed to scatter. I don't know if I will pick up the second in the series - it will have to depend on my mood and whether or not there is anything else to read within reach.
