SPIRITS, STILETTOS, AND A SILVER BUSTIER is Book 1 in the
Pyper Rayne series by Deanna Chase. This is the first
book I've read by Deanna Chase, but after reading SPIRITS,
STILETTOS, AND A SILVER BUSTIER, it will not be my last.
I couldn't put this book down. As soon as I finished, I
snagged a copy of the first book in Deanna Chase's Jade
Calhoun series -- which I loved.
Pyper Rayne makes an interesting protagonist -- she is
earthy, fun, strong and sexy. She is also a person who
cares for those around her and fights for them. Another
interesting fact about Pyper is that she's a medium. I
look forward to reading future books to learn more about
Pyper's powers and how she deals with them. I love how
Deanna Chase uses the paranormal elements in this story
to the best advantage to create an entertaining and high
energy story. The ghost stuff, romance, and mystery are
balanced perfectly in SPIRITS, STILETTOS, AND A SILVER
BUSTIER.
Deanna Chase does a great job of building suspense --
especially when it comes to Pyper and the men in her
life. She has two potential suitors, and I was guessing
right up until the end who the good guy was. Julius the
ghost is sexy, enigmatic and troubled. I love the
chemistry he has with Pyper. The sense of danger that
runs throughout SPIRITS, STILETTOS, AND A SILVER BUSTIER
gives the romance an exciting edge without overshadowing
it. The adrenaline-filled ending had me on the edge of my
seat wondering what would happen next.
SPIRITS, STILETTOS, AND A SILVER BUSTIER has everything I
love -- mystery, spooky ghost action, humor, and romance.
This is a must-read for paranormal romance fans who like
their suspense cut with a little humor and sexiness. The
main characters are all wonderful and I like how tight
their relationships with each other are. I look forward
to reading the next book by Deanna Chase!
From New York Times bestselling author Deanna Chase, the
first book in the Pyper Rayne series (a spin-off of the Jade
Calhoun Series).
All Pyper Rayne—medium and coffee shop owner—wanted was the
perfect vintage dress. What she got was a dead shop owner
and a sexy ghost who’s suddenly everywhere—at her shop, in
her car, and even lounging in her bedroom. But he’s not just
any ghost. He’s a witch and able to appear in solid
form…sometimes. If only he'd stop disappearing on her.
And Pyper needs his help. When she becomes target numero uno
and the prime suspect in the shop owner’s death, it appears
her ghost holds the key to solving the murder. In between
stolen kisses, Pyper will need to get to the bottom of all
of his secrets if she wants to stay alive and out of
jail…and maybe finally get that date he keeps promising her.
