Something wicked this way comes…
When her aunt died, level-headed accountant Clare Cermak inherited a fortune—as well as a phantom dog and the power to help ghosts move on. Her new gift led her to Zach Slade, a sexy private investigator with a unique psychic gift of his own, and the man who’s slowly opening her heart. But as they work toward building a future together, a sinister threat emerges.

An evil ghost is ravaging Creede, Colorado, threatening to devour the spirit of an innocent boy. Inexperienced in facing such a powerful ghost—and knowing her spirit, too, could be ripped away—Clare still can't refuse to help. With Zach’s support she uncovers the ghost’s identity, and the ancestral weapon required to slay it. But does Clare dare to use that weapon before the ghost destroys the man she loves—and her own spirit?


When a young boy’s great-grandmother hires medium Clare Cermak and her partner, Zach Slade, to go to Creede, Colorado and protect the child from an evil, ghost killing spirit who eats them, they do. They have to find the true name of the spirit doing this in order to extinguish it. More than that, they both must learn to trust each other and lean toward the love they find in each other. Most of all, Clare must learn quickly how to use an ancestral bone knife, her dead aunt had left her, to kill the evil ghost. Otherwise the evil spirit may rip out her soul and devour it, killing her in the process.

Robin D. Owens wove Old West history facts and interesting characters quite well with a sexy, sometimes scary paranormal tale that soon became hard to put down. It knocked my socks off.

Review: Ghost Layer (Ghost Seer #2)

I give Ghost Killer (Ghost Seer Series) 5 sheep.

  1. I gave-up on this series after book 2. The protagonist was too dimwitted for my tastes, and the on-again-off-again romance drove me bananas. The best part was by far the ghost dog, Enzo, but even he couldn't save the story. I like how the author bases each installment on a historical figure though. After reading your review, it looks like this was a case of 'it's not you, it's me.'

  2. Hey, this sounds pretty cool! It sounds like something I'd totally read! And who wouldn't want a phantom dog? No vet bills, no puppy food bills . . .;)

  3. I had the same response to the first two books in this series as Carmel. Those covers are so misleading.

  4. I am a big Robin D. Owens fan, and I do love this series. Yes, the covers are misleading, but I love the originality of the stories and the heroine. I do hope the hero gets his act together though, and embraces his own powers in this third book. I can't wait to read it!
