Sadie Novak knows the pain and suffering families go
through when dealing with a recent death in the family.
She lost her brother Brian to suicide and personally
cleaned up the mess. After experiencing such trauma and
heartbreak, Sadie decided no one else should ever have to
go through that. So she created a company called Scene-2-
Clean that cleans up the aftermath of crime scenes.
The only problem is, Sadie has a gift and it kind of makes
her look crazy sometimes. While cleaning at the crime
scenes, the ghosts of the recently departed tend to talk to
her and ask for help. Sadie can see and communicate with
the ghosts but to the general public this can seem a bit
bizarre so she keeps it a secret from most people.
David Egan runs Scour Power, a company that cleans up meth
labs and former drug houses. Sadie is good friends with
David and they sometimes talk about business. But Sadie
strictly deals with decomposition and David handles the
meth labs. Unfortunately, David is away and asks for
Sadie's help in handling both companies until he gets back.
Cleaning up after druggies can be really dangerous and
isn't Sadie's forte but she agrees to the job.
While cleaning up a meth lab, Sadie hears the cries of a
baby. After following the cries she finds a new born baby
lying beside a dead mutilated goat. The baby is ok but
when the ghost of its mother shows up, Sadie is completely
freaked out. Usually Sadie deals with friendly nice ghosts
but this one has glowing red eyes and when it touches Sadie
her skin feels like its on fire! Apparently, Sadie
interrupted an important satanic ritual and the evil ghost
swears she will get revenge on Sadie for this.
The rest of Sadie's jobs all seem to be connected back to
the satanic ritual clean up. When some money goes missing
at a scene, a gang of motorcyclists stalk Sadie and
threaten her life. With nowhere else to turn, Sadie calls
her partner Zack for protection and help. Their chemistry
is undeniable but Sadie refuses to go down that road again
with him. Will Zack be able to protect Sadie from being
killed?
DEVIL MAY RIDE is the second book in the Ghost Dusters
Mystery Series featuring Sadie Novak, a crime scene cleaner
who can speak to the dead. DEVIL MAY RIDE is full of
twists and turns that kept me intrigued and glued to the
pages of this exciting paranormal mystery.
Sadie Novak finds out the truth about how she came into her
unique gift and this answers a lot of questions for the
reader. I was very pleased with the back-story on how
everything came to be and it put a lot of pieces to the
puzzle together.
This second installment shines with creativity and is
quickly becoming a new favorite series for me. Overall,
DEVIL MAY RIDE is even better then the first book and I
eagerly await the next book in this series due out December
2009.
When Sadie and her sexy partner Zack stumble on evidence
of a chilling cult ritual in an abandoned meth lab, Sadie
comes face to face with an evil spirit unlike any she’s
ever seen before. And it’s no coincidence that a bundle of
stolen cash turns up at her next crime scene just in time
to convince a biker gang that Sadie made off with their
money. She knows the threads are connected—but how?
