Ghost hunter and agent Tyler Montague teams up with docent and historian Allison Leigh to investigate when a series of murders in Philadelphia seem to relate to the 1777 assassination of Lucy Tarleton, whose death was ordered by British Lord "Butcher" Bedford because of her apparent treason against his king and Bedford's heart during the Revolutionary War. Light, entertaining, romantic What's It About? 1777: In the throes of the Revolutionary War, Landon Mansion is commandeered by British Lord "Butcher" Bedford. He stabs Lucy Tarleton—who spurned his king and his love—leaving her to die in her father's arms. NOW: After the day's final tour, docent Allison Leigh makes her rounds while locking up…and finds a colleague slumped over Bedford's desk, impaled on his own replica bayonet. Resident ghosts may be the stock-in-trade of stately Philadelphia homes, but Allison—a noted historian—is indignant at the prospect of "ghost hunters" investigating this apparent murder. Agent Tyler Montague knows his haunting and his history. While Allison is skeptical of the newcomer, a second mysterious murder occurs. Has "Butcher" Bedford resurfaced...or is there another malevolent force at work in Landon Mansion? Wary...yet deeply attracted... Allison has to trust in Tyler and work with him to discover just what uninvited guest...dead or alive...has taken over the house...or their lives could become history! What Did I Think? I couldn't say anything bad about this series if I tried. It was a reread for me and I enjoyed it as much the second...or was it the third? time round as I did the first. Love ghost stories and this entire series is ghostly. The people that compose the Krewe of Hunters have unique gifts that appeal to the sense of the supernatural. There is usually a little history before the "NOW" part... and the history of Philadelphia and the Revolutionary War that was woven into the story was as fascinating as the ghost itself. This series will appeal to those that love history, romance, mystery, suspense, and of course the main dish...a excellent ghost story. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

One thing I really liked about this book was the way the romance developed slower than in some of the other books in this series, so it felt more natural. The mystery was interesting, and the pacing was very well done. The characters were likable and relatable, and the setting was described in detail, which was appreciated. The conclusion was satisfying, as well.
All in all, I enjoyed this book very much, and look forward to reading the next book in the series.
5/5 stars. ( )
