Blurb
Newly-minted Ghost Detective, Jude Byrne, finally has his life in order. He’s got a job he loves, friends he can count on, and a partner he actually likes. Jude’s only problem is the growing attraction between himself and his partner. He knows nothing will sink their partnership quicker than giving in to those urges.
Psychic, Copeland Forbes, is settling nicely into Salem, Massachusetts. He and Jude have formed the perfect partnership, with the former P.I. researching the history of the places they are hired to investigate, while it’s Cope’s job to communicate with the spirits they encounter to either move them on to the other side or work out an amicable arrangement with the people now living in their home. So far, the duo has a perfect record and completely satisfied customers.
The detectives’ record is put to the test when teenager, Xavier Lewis, parks his bike outside West Side Magick and asks if Jude and Cope’s fee can be paid via weekly installments of his allowance money. When Jude tells the boy it all depends on the story he has to tell, neither detective is prepared for the tale that spills out of Xavier’s mouth. When the boy tells them about a ghostly woman in white that he thinks is trying to kill him, Jude and Copeland are all in.
The partners soon discover that not all ghosts can be reasoned with and that the risks of dealing with the paranormal are very real indeed. Will the Ghost Detectives be able to solve the mystery of the woman in white or will they become the next victims in her ghost story?

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Pandora Pine's Ghost Story is the second book in her Haunted Souls Series, and it has everything we've come to love about her books.
Along with a fantastic mystery, we get a whole lot of humor. The ghost story is developed in a fantastic manner, and takes the readers on a lot of twists and turns.
Jude and Cope are tremendously delightful and will not disappoint you. This book brings them closer, and we get to enjoy the ride with them.
One of my favorite things about this author's books is that despite revolving around some awful situations involving death, they are infused with great characters and a tremendous amount of humor. I am not a fan of paranormal stories in general, but Pandora Pine makes this stories light and fun despite the horrific topics.
Ghost Story is riveting, amusing, and remarkably entertaining. I continue to be in awe of Pandora Pine's brilliance.
