Maggie Toussaint has done it again with her next in the Dreamwalkers Series. As a psychic consultant to the police department in coastal Georgia, Baxley Powell helps solve crime. She also struggles with raising her young daughter and the family responsibilities that go with sharing her with her missing husband's overbearing family. While a movie crew comes to town, one of the crew and a local are brutally murdered in a ritualistic ceremony, and Baxley is on the job to help solve the crime. While in a dreamwalk to talk to the victims, she trades favors with a demon to get back to the real world - the evil around these murders threatens to hold Bax on the wrong side of the veil between life and death.

I love the mysticism and the personal struggles Bax faces and the overwhelming sense of family that keeps Bax not only grounded, but protects her from the ultimate battles of good versus evil. I kept waiting for her demon helper to call in her marker, and I'm intrigued by the watcher in the woods, both of which I eagerly anticipate being outed in her next book(s) in this series.
