Jake Fletcher ghost detective’s life, or rather afterlife, is never dull.
This case is an attention grabber with a necromancer, vampires and an angel that’s determined to drag Jake back, kicking n screaming if necessary, to face judgement but before that happens our quirky witted spook is determined to wipe his slate clean or at least have it tilted in his favour. I’m really enjoying this whole world.
Another awesome Uncanny adventure…
Jake Fletcher, a spectral detective, is back in this second installment of series. He is still seeking redemption for all the souls he unwittingly destroyed during his life when he worked as an exorcist. He is acutely aware that his balance sheet still has him heavily in the red. He is highly motivated to do whatever it takes to make a good impression on “the man upstairs” and thereby secure for himself a comfortable afterlife “in the good place”. The alternative is unthinkable. When corpses start turning up around town that suggest something uncanny (paranormal) is responsible, Jake is on the case. DCI Stronge, Stella Familiar, Jazz Hands and Frosty are all back to help Jake figure out just what is causing this escalating body count. Can they solve the case before Jake’s time is up and an angel by the name of Adonael, whisks him upstairs to his judgement? The pace is relentless, the snarky humor is inspired, and the plotline is brilliant. If you choose to listen to the audiobook version you will be in for a real treat as the narrator, Mark Restuccia, provides an excellent performance that really brings the entire story to life. This series is a gem in the realm of urban fantasy.
While I did purchase a copy of this book, I was provided with a copy of the audiobook by the authors and I am voluntarily offering my honest and unbiased review.
For the paranormal enthusiasts this is a series you would like to read. Lots of twists and turns. Likeable characters and engaging plot.
Jake is a P.I. ghost trying to get redemption. I like the variety of supernatural characters. This story is well-written. Jake is vulnerable to being hurt and destroyed by supernatural creatures, which puts him in real danger. There is a lot if action. There are twists and surprises in the story.
Jake Fletcher continues to redeem his soul.
Jake Fletcher says, “I help my clients find their way to the spirit world. Why? to offset some of my own bad mojo.” His allies: Stella, made out of magic and spit about sixty-years ago as an enforcer to knock seven bells out of London’s Uncanny bad guys; and from Spectral Detective: An Uncanny Kingdom Urban Fantasy (The Spectral Detective Series Book 1) DCI Stronge, his human connection to the police, and Jazz Hands, his source of magical accessories. Jake has a fairly ordinary complement of ghost powers—invisibility, intangibility, translocation, able to possess the living. Now, an exsanguinated corpse is a murder suspect, but had already died two days BEFORE the murder. Vampires? Zombies? No, worse! Jake finds out who is reviving corpses, and why. But bringing the murderer to justice might be “out of Jakes pay-grade”. A fun read, lots of hilarious dialog, descriptions and similes; interesting characters, very imaginative plot.
Action-packed detective adventure with a twist. I loved the first one and this one delivered another gripping tale! Love this series!
