I loved snark and humour, but had to take away one star, because the second part of the book was weaker. All in all - delightful read.

Daisy can speak to the dead (it’s a natural ability, she’s from a family of witches) and has been working with the FBI since she was a teenager to help them solve cases. The story begins with her making an excuse to get out of her college class to be whisked off from Texas to Minnesota to view a murder scene.
While napping at the police headquarters waiting for a warrant she’s kidnapped by Maguire, the crime boss whose daughter, Alexis, was kidnapped during the murder. Using a spell called a gias he ensures that she’ll help him at the cost of her own life to find Alexis. He sends her off to uncover the whereabouts of Alexis and the jackal that was asked for in the ransom with his delectably hot employee Carson before the Brotherhood of the Black Jackal can.
This story does not have a dull moment. Between Daisy’s ability to speak to the spirit world, running from the Brotherhood and FBI, and destroying priceless artifacts along the way. Right when you think a moment might get dull, the heat between Carson and Daisy spikes or mention of Daisy’s family comes up giving insight to the world of Goodnight witches. Honestly, the only complaint that I have is that there are no more books in the series.

This was a fun book. I had a few problems with some of the same things I did with the first one, but all in all, it was a quick and entertaining read. I actually forgot that Daisy was Amy's cousin, not her younger sister, Phin, so I was confused for a little bit at first as to where she fit in. Daisy was an enjoyable protagonist, though she was written a bit thick when it came to realizing certain things about Carson. There were a few plot twists I didn't see coming (thought it was all going to go a different way), so that was nice at least. I'd be interested in reading more by the author.

I loved this book even more than the first one! At first, I wasn't very happy that this book was going to focus on Daisy instead of Amy, like the first book, but it ended up being so much better. I like Daisy a lot. The story is thrilling, and I just kept turning pages wanting to know what happens next. I love the dynamics between Daisy and Agent Taylor, and their code language. I feel like there could be a whole series here for Daisy and her work with the FBI. Ohhhh, please make it happen, Rosemary Clement-Moore! <3

Spirit and Dust is a fun supernatural mystery. It's part of a series, but I didn't suffer for not having read Texas Gothic first. I have enjoyed this author for a while and I think this is my favorite so far (4.5 stars). Her sense of humor is delightful. I would recommend both the Maggie Quinn and Goodnight series to Buffy fans.

I liked the start of this book, but then 10 pages in it went from 4 stars to 2 then quickly 1.
Most disappointing read this year...

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
I loved this one as much as I loved the first. This one had so much more action and was completely different than the first. There was much more at stake this time around.
Readers met Daisy in the first book, Texas Gothic, where she comes to the aid of the main protagonist and cousin, Amy. She is now the one in jeopardy as she is called to find out who murdered a man on a college campus and to find the missing girl he was protecting. Before long she's kidnapped and the real adventure begins.
I liked Daisy and Carson both. Carson was a hard character to read because there was always something . . . shifty, i guess, about him. I also like the the F.B.I. agent Taylor, but he was a little underdeveloped. I'm sad about that.
I loved the plot twists.
There were a couple of places that got a little confusing at the end with the psychic stuff but that could be because I read the chapters at 5:30 am and wasn't quite caffeinated enough.
I certainly won a gem and a new favorite author.

This was really enjoyable and exactly what I was in the mood for! It's an urban fantasy YA where the lead character can sense spirits and talk to the dead and assists the FBI with stuff, and it was just really entertaining and enjoyable. It didn't take itself too seriously but it also wasn't too light and shallow. I was a little confused at the beginning of the book because I thought there was one ship that was going to happen by the end of the book, but then it abruptly shifted where it was clear the main character was going to get with a different guy entirely. It's not a love triangle at all because the book never had any intention of putting the girl with the first guy, it was just my random expectations. Once I made the adjustment to figuring out who I was actually supposed to be shipping, I enjoyed their relationship quite a bit, and I feel like it was developed at a really good pace (…even though technically I guess everything that happens in the book happens over the course of like, a day, at most? But it didn't feel like it was that short amount of time, so it worked for me). I would definitely recommend this; it's one of the better things I've read this year.
