Rain Christiansen is an FBI profiler who can see ghosts. He really, really doesn't want to be able to see ghosts. But the ghosts seem to have chosen him, much to his frustration.

With his career a mess, Rain heads back to his hometown for a case - and to prove to his boss that he's fit for active duty. But his hometown holds a challenge of its own in the form of his cold case detective ex-boyfriend, Danny McKenna.

The sparks between the two fly from the start, despite some awkward tension and a shit load of baggage they're both carrying with them. Communication isn't exactly their strong suit. They've both build walls around themselves - and their hearts - that's made honesty, trust, and communication stiffled and difficult. And the years of separation since their breakup hasn't helped.

But Rain needs support. He needs to solve this case, and prove he has a handle on himself - the ghosts be damned. 

But the ghosts have other ideas. They won't stay silent. They see Rain for what he is - a medium - and they want his help. And they're going to get it in any way they can.

It takes time for Rain to come to terms with his ability. Time, and a few incidents that are very difficult to explain to others. But once Rain sets his mind to something, he's determined to accomplish his goals. That includes helping the ghosts who won't leave him alone, and getting back together with Danny. 

As an intro to a series, this one ticked all my boxes. We had some romance, a lot of sass, some mystery, and some very persistent ghosts. I'm still not quite sold on Danny and Rain being a solid couple. But I suppose we'll see how the rest of the series plays out.
