A month after solving her first murder (and almost getting killed in the process), Maggie Johnson and her soul brother Serge Popov are hoping for some peace and quiet to figure out. . .well, everything. But the dead wait for no one. Especially a dead guy like Kent Thomas. He was every parent's dream, the kind of good kid who excelled at school, and never caused trouble. And he was the kind of guy all the guys liked. Add in a hot factor that made him every girl's fantasy, and he was the least likely person to be murdered. So who tossed him off a cliff?
Maggie's determined to find the killer but if she's not careful, she'll end up just like the soul she's trying to save.
Deen is able to make this mixture of the paranormal and mystery genres work beautifully . . . Natasha Deen has left some tantalizing clues at the end of the book, suggesting that there may well be a sequel to Guardian and Gatekeeper . Readers can only hope this will happen and that there will be more novels to challenge and interest so many fans - whether of horror, paranormal or mystery - and keep them happily reading. - CM Magazine
