In the second book of the Auras and Embers series, Gideon is used to his powers and his team, so when he and Dacey are sent on a new investigation, where five people have died recently from mysterious causes, he's more than ready to investigate. This case is perfect for Gideon and his powers quickly help them to discover even more victims. Dacey and Gideon are such a great pair and their romance really progresses in this book.

The mystery had me constantly guessing and I was so very wrong about the who the killer was. Such a great installment, I can't wait for the next book. I totally recommend this series, although I would recommend that you read the Sophie Feegle series first, I would suggest you start there, but it's not necessary as this series more than stands on its own.
