I am a Heather Graham junkie, I can't wait for the other books to be published later in the year - I don't even mind that they are not available for Kindle.
Give it a go.

Good Series, But Read It In Order
7 July 2011
By N. Blackburn
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Heather Graham is very much a hit or miss author with me. In a great number of her books, I find them to be good stories, but very superficially written. I had the opportunity to review this book; however did not have the chance to review the first book in the series. Although I have done this before with her other series, it appears that the character development which occurred in the first book,Phantom Evil, was pretty important to understanding the characters in this book. What I thoroughly enjoyed in this book though was that it was light on romance which always works for me.
I am half way through Phantom Evil at this point and still believe that it is important to read this series in order.

If Ms. Graham can't keep her character straight.....

First of all, let me say that I am a harsh book reviewer. Not by trade but by virtue of the fact that I read. A lot. That being said, and having read a few of Heather Graham's novels before, I knew I was going to be getting a light summer read with some romance and a ghost dressed in period costume, like always. But this time, I really had a hard time getting into the story. It wasn't a real page turner by any means, but at least it was something to read. Until I got to the part where she mixes up her main character (Ashley) with an investigator (Angela) on page 173. What?! And when it happens again a few pages later..... well. I think I'm done with this book.
Note to Ms. Graham, if you or your editor can't keep two "A" named people straight, maybe next time to you need to have an Ashley and a Zelda. More letters in the alphabet to help you out.
Bottom line: She's written better. Don't bother with this book.

Fantastic!

This story of history, ghosts, and love reunited drew me in quickly and kept my attention throughout. There is nothing like a serial killer doing a vengeful ghost's bidding to bring back together two people who were separated because of their opposing views on the existence of such paranormal entities. How is that for an original plotline?
The characters were strong, each with their own unique personalities, including the unnamed killer. I really like it when you get brief glimpses into the killer's demented thoughts in these types of novels. I think it takes the suspense up a notch. The dialogue of all of the characters was expertly written, enhancing each character in manner of speech and tone. Graham is one of the best characterization authors I have ever read. Even the secondary characters, including the ghostly ones, were all very well developed.
Of course, I can't talk about the characters without mentioning the steamy, romantic plotline. I am a sucker for lovers-torn-apart being forced back together again. In this one, as opposed to most, the two past lovers didn't hate each other. Yet, despite the fact they were willing, so much stood in their way of getting back together again. I found myself really rooting for Jack and Ashley.
The plot while well constructed and suspenseful, took a few scary turns with ghosts to help the investigation along. I loved how the paranormal element helped even when the main character resisted, a nice opposition to the ghost who had a human killing for him.
The setting came through beautifully through rich descriptions of the plantation and cemetery along with the rich history of the place. The setting of a civil war reenactment was very clever especially when you have modern day people playing the ghosts walking among them. Again, the story was so nicely layered, giving it a full plot. I highly recommend this novel, even if you haven't read the first in the series like me. It has a little something for everyone: history buffs, romance addicts, suspense/mystery readers, etc.
