This should be 3.5 stars. Cute, good story, interesting premise and the mystery was well done. My only issue was I never felt fully invested in the mc’s and therefore in their relationship. They were both a little too perfect, I felt like a little more grit would have helped.

“’He says psychic because there’s not really a word for me.’ I lifted my hands in illustration, graphing what I tried to say in the air. ‘What I’m actually doing is reading your energy. You know the Chinese tradition of chakra points? It’s something like that, only there’s actual energy lines. I can tell a lot of things by reading those lines.’
‘And trust me, he saw a lot more than what he just said,’ Jim added with a pointed look at me. ‘For some reason, though, he feels like he has to keep the world’s confidences.’
‘I’m a criminal consultant, not a tattletale,’ I replied mock-sweetly.”

A.J. Sherwood is officially my go to author when I’m in the mood for some action and suspense without the usual angst.
Jon and Donavan kept an almost constant smile on my face as I read. I loved them as individuals, but the way they melted for each other…I can’t think of a word more apt then adorable.
The mystery and suspense stemmed from Jon and Donovan’s two open cases. Both sets of cases involved storylines that I felt to be engaging—although one of them was far more predictable than the other.
TL;DR: I enjoyed this low-angst, mystery-suspense romance, and I plan to read the next book some time in the near future.

3.5 rating. I enjoyed this more than the first time I read it. It's a lot of fun. I would have rounded this up to 4, but instalove and some other issues (such as how an Asian character was written) kept me from rounding up. The audiobook narration is done well as well.

This was a very good start to a fun supernatural series.
Jon as a character really intrigued me because he was so independent even though he had some serious limitations.
Donovan complimented Jon perfectly and I'm looking forward to their next case.

I loved this one! This is my second book by this author. I love discovering a new author that I love their work. This book was so interesting and really good. I loved Jon, Donovan and their family and friends.
