Description:
Something wicked this way comes…
When her aunt died, level-headed accountant Clare Cermak inherited a fortune—as well as a phantom dog and the power to help ghosts move on. Her new gift led her to Zach Slade, a sexy private investigator with a unique psychic gift of his own, and the man who’s slowly opening her heart. But as they work toward building a future together, a sinister threat emerges.
An evil ghost is ravaging Creede, Colorado, threatening to devour the spirit of an innocent boy. Inexperienced in facing such a powerful ghost—and knowing her spirit, too, could be ripped away—Clare still can’t refuse to help. With Zach’s support she uncovers the ghost’s identity, and the ancestral weapon required to slay it. But does Clare dare to use that weapon before the ghost destroys the man she loves—and her own spirit?
Review:
Ghost Killer by Robin D. Owens is the 3rd book in her Ghost Seer series. I really do enjoy this series, as we get to spend time with our heroes, Clare, Zach and Enzo. This series is a modern day paranormal ghost story that is fun, with a different mystery in each book.
A brief refresher on this series: Clare Cermak is our heroine, and she has inherited her aunt’s estate, as well as the ability the see ghosts. It is her job to help the ghosts move on, but before they go, there is usually a mystery for her to solve. Zach Slade is our hero in this series, a former cop, who is now a PI. He is Clare’s boyfriend, and in each book their relationship continues to build. Zach and Clare, as well as her ghost dog, Enzo work together to solve these complicated mysteries.
In Ghost Killer, Clare has become a little more used to being a Ghost Seer, though she is still somewhat uncomfortable. Her relationship with Zach has become hotter and hotter in this book. Enzo has fully become an important part Clare and Zach (he sees Enzo now) lives.
Clare is now forced to take on her third case in such a short time (only weeks have passed between the three books). There is now an evil ghost that she must stop, before the ghost kills a young 7 year old budding ghost seer. Young Caden, sees the evil ghost and cries for help from his physic grandmother, who sends Clare and Zach to help. To make things difficult, Cade’s parents do not believe in ghosts and just think that Caden’s is imagining things.
Since Clare only sees ghosts from a period in the 1800’s, the stories take place in western towns. After much research, they discover the evil ghost is during the time when Bob Ford (Jesse James’s killer) lived in this small town years after the murder. Someone from the period when Ford was killed has become a dangerous ghost filled with rage. It is up to Clare, Zach and Enzo to find out the name of the killer before they can attempt to kill the ghost. I do not want to give spoilers, and too much more will be spoilers. What follows is an exciting mystery that through Clare’s research, we learn more about the final days of Bob Ford, as well as intense action with Clare coming up against the evil ghost a few times. Both Enzo and Caden find themselves in danger, that only Clare, with the help of Zach can save them.
Robin Owens does a wonderful job of continuing the adventures of Clare, Zach and Enzo with a suspenseful, exciting and historical tale of the old west, though in modern times. Plus the added element of Clare and Zach having upped the level of their relationship to sizzling. If you enjoy mysteries, adventure, excitement, fun and a hot couple, you need to read this series.
