I loved the Sookie Stackhouse books, and this book sounded like the start of another great series. Incorrect. This is definitely not some of Charlaine Harris's best work. She seems to like the idea of powers in ones mind. Sookie with her telepathy and Harper being able to find the dead. This book just didn't enthrall me the way the Sookie series did. Those books I couldn't put down. This one I was just reading to finish it. It's a great storyline in theory, but needed a better writing style for it be great. Not a horrible book, but could've been better.
