Two brothers. One fears the dead. One sees them. Together, they help homicide victims find justice.The Sullivan Gray Series takes mystery and suspense and gives it a ghostly twist. This set contains books 5-7 (Hollow Road, Second Son and Spirit Caller).Hollow RoadFor years, the legend of Faceless Flo—a young woman who disappeared in the 1920s—has drawn people to Hollow Road in search of her ghost. Road in search of her ghost.
Some were never seen again.
Among the missing is a young banker who vanished thirty years ago. Dez is called in to help solve the decades-old cold case, and when a connection to the Faceless Flo legend comes to light, he enlists Sully’s help.
But not everything is as it seems.
As Sully begins to unravel the truth, he finds himself on a collision course with an angry and dangerous spirit, and an enemy from his past who is guarding a dark secret.
But Dez and Sully have been concealing secrets of their own—and they’re about to come to light in a way that might shatter the brothers’ relationship forever.
Second Son
When the Second Son rises, the Circle will fall.
Uttered years earlier by a troubled seer, the prophesy provides a significant clue to the death of five-year-old Aiden Braddock. But gathering proof enough to catch a killer is easier said than done.
Their relationship strained by the recent revelation of devastating secrets, Sully and Dez must figure out a way to work together as they continue to seek justice for their loved ones.
A possible solution lies buried deep within a forty-year-old mystery. Psychiatrist Roman Gerhardt’s son was just six when he disappeared; Sully and Dez are banking on Gerhardt turning over damning information on Lowell Braddock—if the brothers can uncover what happened to the little boy and stomach what will amount to a deal with the devil.
But digging into the mystery will do more than force Sully to face the torture he endured two years ago. As he closes in on a final confrontation with one of his most dangerous foes, Sully’s about to discover his darkest enemy might be himself.
Spirit Caller
One night. One last enemy. One chance to stop him forever.
It’s all come down to this.
More than two years after Sully took desperate measures to escape his enemies, he finds himself headed for an inevitable showdown with the most dangerous of them.
Years of murder and deceit are catching up to Lowell, and the ghosts of those he killed are not about to rest until they’ve watched him fall. But as Sully and Dez close in, Lowell makes one last desperate strike—one that threatens everything the brothers and their loved ones hold dear.
With Sully’s world balanced on a knife’s edge, he is left to question whether he has the strength to endure this final test—or if he must rely on the darkest part of his soul to defeat Lowell and bring down the Circle.
In so doing, he might save the people he loves. Or he might prove to be the one deadly enemy they never saw coming.

Hollow Road:
Another fabulous addition to the Sullivan Grey series! A paranormal mystery full of twists and turns, I did not want to put this one down. Brothers Dez and Sully are working through their relationship as more secrets from the past are unearthed.
Second Son:
If you have been reading this series from the beginning you know what a masterful storyteller Bayne is. If you haven’t, grab the previous box set and clear your day, you are in for a treat! You’ll want to catch up before reading this book.
Many old friends make reappearances in this book, and yet more secrets are revealed. Dez and Sully – ok, I *might* have a little bit of a literary crush – let’s just say I am so happy that things are looking up a little for them even as they are entering such a difficult time. The family moments are nice. And Sully is adorable.
This book had plenty of danger, adventure, suspense and intrigue, both of the natural and paranormal type. The hangman is back – and he’s scary! And the Circle – OMG not saying more because spoilers but what an enemy.
While the previous books in this series were standalones, this book starts pulling together all the strands of the over-arching plot, even the ones you didn’t even realize were integral to the grander story. Some story lines are resolved, and many others are blown wide open. I would not say it is a cliff hanger ending, but I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see how things will all play out in the next book which is the conclusion of this arc.
Spirit Caller:
WOW! This has been an incredibly high caliber series so going into the last book you know expectations are high and this book seriously knocked it out of the park. A very satisfying conclusion to the series that leaves open the possibility for more stories featuring Dez, Sully, and their wonderful friends and family. After all we’ve been through with them I’m not ready to say goodbye yet.
This book does a masterful job of weaving together locations, people, and events from previous books with new revelations and complications. The stakes are higher, the danger is more intense, everything is more personal – and that’s saying a lot with how intense this series has been from the beginning.
This is book 7 in a series, and the final book in the series, so it is hard to say anything without spoilers. Each of these books has a fully contained story arc, but this book also draws together the overarching plot that has been threading through the previous books. If you haven’t read the series yet, don’t start with book 1, start with the book set – once you start you won’t want to put these books down! Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys crime thrillers with a paranormal twist and strong character development.
This is one of the best paranormal thrillers I have ever read. Unable to put the books down. Twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. Take a look and you will see a great series.
