I give this 3 1/2 stars.

This was the first time reading a Charlaine Harris book and I can say I would definitely read more of her books. I liked her writing style and the plot was well written as well.

As for the story...
Harper is a girl with a limited paranormal ability to find dead people. She travels all over the country with her brother Tolliver. I guess I could say I had a love hate relationship with Harper. Maybe it was because it frustrated me that she is so dependent of her brother and at times she was a bit depressing. I did like when she wasn't so depressing and when she took charge of things. I also think her ability to find the dead was pretty cool. I also felt like I couldn't really bond with Harper and Tolliver because they would mention there past but wouldn't really get into much details so it left me feeling like I didn't know them that well. I feel this way only because there past has been brought up briefly a few times in the book.

I did figure out who the person was, but didn't know why. At first I thought it was one person then I started thinking no I think its this person. The motives for the murders was a surprise to me because I thought it was just because they didn't want them together, but then it turned out to be so much more. I would definitely recommend this book and I look forward to getting more into the series.
