BLURB:

Tough PI, Frank McGuire, attempts to help the FBI locate three abducted children from a small town in West Virginia. While channeling his inner spirit for assistance, he mistakenly calls forth a ghost. As Frank races against time to locate the missing girls, he receives help from the most unlikely of sources. To complicate matters, Rand has decided its time Frank commit to their relationship—or run the risk of Rand being gone when he returns.

REVIEW:

Now this is much, much better. The relationship is the way it should be more now and the plot is great as the others. Although I do have to warn you, to be on the safe side, this book deals with kidnapped and missing children. Although Frank deals with those a lot in his profession, this one is hitting too close for him.

Frank is finally to a point where things seem to be going alright. Rand and he are on better terms now and business is good. Not that’s necessarily a good thing, but good for his wallet. Until the Feds come calling again. Frank has been having flashes of things again, and this time while he’s wide awake. Not during meditation at all. And to make matters worse, when he does go into his meditative state, he calls forth a ghost girl, with whom he can somewhat communicate, and can do things he’s never seen ghosts do. And he’s a little freaked out. But when the Feds come calling about missing children, he realizes the ghost girl connects to his case. And he finds he’s in a race against time before the missing girls end up like this little girl. 

This was a really good story. I hate that it’s about missing kids, in the sense you don’t want anything to happen to children, but it’s an amazing story. Frank is apparently learning more gifts he has, and things are changing at home as well. Things are changing all around. And while some are for the better, the missing girls is not. But I love how he communicates with this little girl. It’s so funny really. He’s trying not to be vulgar and crass. Trying not to curse in front of her and her attitude is to roll her eyes at him. It’s hilarious. But she really is the key to helping him. And while he may not fully understand her at first, he’s really starting to get a clue to how she’s trying to get to him. And she even saves him. 

It really is a great story. I think this is my favorite of the series so far. Like I said, I hate that it has to be kids, but in a good mystery or murder mystery, you need stuff like this. And at least in this case, it has an HEA for all those involved.
