Zoe Martinique is a young woman with a unique ability.
During a vicious rape, her spirit left her body and
traveled to other places. Ever since then, she's been able
to separate from her body at will. With such an unusual
talent, she has made a career of it. Zoe gets an
assignment and sets out to listen in on any kind of
behavior or conversation.
One night while working, she witnesses a murder. The
killer sees her and grabs her arm. Now, she's running from
a killer and trying to help the detective on the case
figure out what is going on and who is behind it. All
without revealing her secret.
Zoe is helped in her quest by her psychic mother, the
ghosts of two men who inhabit her mother's store and her
best friend. It's very helpful to have a best friend who
is not only a witch but has highly developed technical
skills.
This was a fascinating glimpse into a world that only a few
could even imagine. I got a little lost when the
explanations about who and what could travel the astral
plane started taking place. By the time that took place, I
was so involved in the story and the characters that
nothing could stop me from finishing the book.
Zoe is a delightfully quirky character with an offbeat
sense of humor and the strength to overcome the physical
and emotional trauma she's had to face. The secondary
characters were charming and added to the enjoyment of the
book. Lovers of urban fantasy won't want to miss this
book. If you've been reluctant to start an urban fantasy,
let this book whet your appetite for the genre.
First in an excitingly different and new paranormal series.
Zoe Martinique has turned her unusual ability into a career.
When she's traveling, she can't be seen which makes her an
ideal professional snoop. Industrial espionage,
surveillance, whatever. But one night things get out of hand
while she's out-of-body. She witnesses a murder and a soul
stealing, and discovers she has unwelcome company: Trench-
Coat, a ghostly killer who can see and hurt her.
Teaming up with a blue-eyed police detective, she tries
to solve the case and improve her love life. She also
enlists the support of her psychic mother and the ghostly
couple who haunt her house. And with murderers, kidnappers,
and a desperate ex-porn star involved, Zoe needs all the
help she can get.
