Simon Canderous seems to have a handle on his psychometry (the ability to read the history of an object through touch) but then a fancy new mall electronically eats his girlfriend. The attack was an effort to keep hidden a centuries old secret. The bad news is the Simon doesn't like secrets, especially ones that suck Jane into their electrodes. Things get a lot more complicated when Simon's mentor is slowly going crazy, thinking he keeps seeing the ghost of his older brother, who disappeared as a teenager. Turns out, the brother isn't a ghost. He's a vampire.

I really like this series. Why? Because I like urban fantasy that doesn't stoop to gratuitous sex scenes. Yes, there's language but no nudity is a big plus in my book.
