Book Review: Better Read than Dead

TitleBetter Read Than Dead (Psychic Eye Mysteries, Book 2)
AuthorVictoria Laurie
Rating****1/2
Tagspsychics, mystery, series

It has been a long time since I read a book I just couldn't put down, but this book is one. I just had to read the whole thing to find out what happened. The protagonist is Abby Cooper, a professional psychic. After doing a reading for a masked hit man at a wedding, Abby becomes dangerously involved in the Greek mafia. Meanwhile she is having difficulties in the early stages of her relationship with a hunky FBI agent. The characters are good, the plot is very involving.

Book review: Witch Hunt

TitleWitch Hunt (Ophelia & Abby, Book 4)
AuthorShirley Damsgaard
Rating****
Tagsmystery, paranormal, witchcraft, psychics

Fourth in the Ophelia and Abby series by Shirly Damsgaard. The series is about a Ophelia Jenson and her grandmother Abby, both from a long line of traditional Appalachian witches, though Ophelia and Abby now live in Iowa. Ophelia is a librarian and resisted her psychic powers most of her life. Now she uses them, learning how from Abby.

In this episode in the series, bikers have come to town, and one of them is murdered. Ophelia's friend Darci, has a visiting cousin who is accused of the murder.

I've liked all of the series so far. The characters are good, and the plots, if you accept the psychic powers, are believable. Recommended.
