The Reckoners: Reckoners Trilogy, Book 1 Kindle Edition
| Doranna Durgin (Author) See search results for this author |
The Reckoners (Author's Cut): A powerful ghostbuster raised by a spirit, her brilliantly eccentric backup team, a cat who isn't a cat at all...and a fiercely driven bounty hunter from a different dimension who brings them together when worlds collide.
Skilled ghosthunter Lisa "Garrie" McGarrity not only sees dead people, she wrangles them into submission. But her beloved ghostly mentor moved on years ago, and the Southwest has gone quiet under Garrie's hand. Garrie and her team have grown restless and...well, face it. Maybe willing to take a risk or two.
So when the relentlessly mysterious and fiercely driven Trevarr (and his not-cat!) shows up asking for help, Garrie is inclined to listen. And when he describes big trouble at the San Jose Winchester Mystery House, she's inclined to go with him, even if it splits her team along the way.
But she doesn't expect a mansion crammed with spirits on the brink of madness, and she doesn't expect to face off against the powerful and unfamiliar energies of semi-ethereal beings from another dimension. She definitely doesn't expect the fabric of her own world to unravel around her--with no one but her to stop it.
And truly, she has no idea how deep Trevarr's secrets run.
"The Reckoners is certain to carry readers along at a break-neck pace that is nonetheless savored along the way."
--Jennifer Roberson, author of the Karavans series.
"Ghosts, aliens, danger, romance, and a non-cat. As Lisa McGarrity might say, what's not to like?"
--Anne Bishop, author of the Black Jewels series
"Heroic figures with problems even bigger than they are."
--Jacqueline Lichtenberg, The Monthly Aspectarian
"Readers will enjoy the humorous dialogue and ghost-busting lingo..."
--Publisher's Weekly
"THE RECKONERS is an original paranormal adventure which will fuel your imagination on every page."
--Single Titles
"Delightful beginning to a new series that's funny and lively with a memorable cast of characters."
--Fresh Fiction
"Doranna Durgin makes her mark with her new urban fantasy series, THE RECKONERS. The delicious debut titled, THE RECKONERS, features a topnotch ghost-hunting team, a tracker from another world, his mysterious sidekick, and all sorts of paranormal activity. The pacing is excellent and the plot engaging. Ms. Durgin’s word-building is edgy and she provides some interesting takes on supernatural elements. Overall, the central mystery is complex, the action plentiful, and the developing relationship between the protagonists satisfying.... It is an exceptional read."
--Romance Junkies
"Like all of Durgin's books, Reckoners has glorious 3D characters. It has all the joy of Ghostbusters, all the incredible monsters of the paranormal, and a delightful romance that never lets you down. Durgin deftly avoids cliché, and builds a rock-solid high-tension story. Best of all, it comes with an excellent twist at the end that will leave you begging for more."
--Adrianne, an Amazon Reader
"THE RECKONERS is the first release in Ms. Durgin's new ghost buster series. It is an original and fresh take on the spiritual world and is intense from page one. I enjoyed the interaction between the main characters and the sexual tension between Trevarr and Garrie is extreme. I look forward to more in this series from Ms. Durgin."
--The Romance Reader's Connection
"Doranna Durgin begins a new urban fantasy series with The Reckoners, featuring feisty heroine and ghost hunter Lisa McGarrity known to her friends as Garrie. At age ten she learned of her talent to corral and manage ghosts. Rhonda Rose, a ghost, helped her to understand and develop her abilities. Now she heads a team of three: the empath Lucia, Drew who can sense the history of a place, and Quinn who ferrets out data they need...Durgin takes the reader on a wild ride with plenty of twists and turns.

About the author

Doranna Durgin is an award-winning author whose quirky spirit has led to an extensive publishing journey across genres, publishers, and publishing lines. Fantasy, Paranormal, Romantic Suspense, Mystery, a batch of tie-in books and a smattering of Science Fiction in both novel and short story forms--you can find them all in her fifty-plus titles, always with a special nod to the animals and natural world we all love. She's best known for the Changespell series featuring former equine Jess, and her most recent release completes the Reckoners trilogy--a powerful ghostbuster raised by a spirit, her brilliantly eccentric backup team, a cat who isn't a cat, and a fiercely driven bounty hunter from a different dimension who brings them together when worlds collide.
Beyond that, she hangs around outside her mountain home with horse and accomplished competition dogs. She doesn't believe in mastering the beast within, but in channeling its power--for good or bad has yet to be decided. She says, “My books are SF/F, mystery, paranormal romance, and romantic suspense. My dogs are Beagles, my home is the Southwest, and the horse wants a cookie!”

Top review from United Kingdom
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Garrie is bored of her job and is looking for something else for a change of routine. Then a stranger turns up at one of her jobs (with a cat) and not only messes things up, that she has to go back to finish next day, but books her and her team for a job in San Jose.
That job is not defined and, really, Garrie has no idea what she and her team are employed for.
Her client [Trevarr] has a companion; it looks like a cat, but it isn't. Trevarr and Sklayne are from another world and have a job to do that specifically needs the help of Garrie to complete. They just aren't telling her what.
Durgin tells the story from the point of view of Nevahn (Trevarr's foster father), alongside Garrie's point of view, Trevarr's and even Sklayne's.
Sklayne's way of thinking and communicating is completely different than that of this world and Durgin manages to put this across very well with the use of :: double colon marks either side of Sklayne's comments, to indicate his non-verbal communications.
Once the reader gets used to this, it is a fun read. I really liked Sklayne, even though he wasn't one of the two main characters, and hope he continues to appear in subsequent books. He is very self centred and yet still would like to be able to look out for Trevarr.
If you like paranormal, ghost hunter, alien planet -style books, then I'm sure that you will find this book engaging.
I received an e-ARC of this novel from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.
