Cold Case Psychic #22
Dead Line
When Police Chief Cisco Jackson is rushed to the hospital after suffering a heart attack, he has one request for Detective Ronan O’ find a young mother who vanished without a trace. Ronan is itching to jump feet first into the search, but after recently being shot in the line of duty, promised his husband he’d turned his badge in for good.
Tennyson Grimm watched in horror as the drama of Suzi Barton’s disappearance dominated the local news. When Cisco asks Ronan to work the investigation, Ten worries that his bullet-prone husband will join the police chief in the ICU, but agrees to do everything in his power to find the missing woman.
The investigation is rife with persons of interest. Topping the list are the usual
The husband, who believes she ran off with her night school professor.
The father-in-law, who never trusted Suzi or any other woman.
Her college professor who acts like he’s hiding something.
Lastly, study partner Jensen Hines, who’s interested in more than acing the final exam.
Who abducted Suzi Barton? Why? Where is she? Most importantly, is she still alive?

This books keep getting better
Cisco gave us all a big scare and with that scare comes a favor that he asks of Ronan, who of course jumps at it. And again he does so without even considering Ten or the kids. But I do like that they sit down and have a conversation about helping to find a missing wife and mother. As always, ver well written, had me guessing to the end. I can’t give away any spoilers. I loved it!

**4.5**
I can never get enough of Tennyson and Ronan, together with the rest of their family as they work to solve cases, this time it being a kidnapping not a cold case.
Ronan is retired from the BPD, now a private investigator along with Jude and Kevin, apart from that recent case they were asked to work on but definitely retired. Until Cisco has a heart attack and asks Ronan to step up and help find a missing mother. You can tell with Ronan that he was made for detective work, I enjoy the way his mind works things out and how well he works with Tenn, once he got over himself and believed in what Tenn does. However, Tennyson has been there to see his husband recover from bullet wounds and stabbings, several coming close to his end, so he is understandably upset and not on board with this happening.
It is just like old times as Kevin, Ronan and Tennyson work together to bring the missing woman home and having input from Jude and Copeland is always an added bonus, especially as this time, time is of the essence. There are several possibilities as to who might be involved and Tenn's reaction alone makes you know they're bad people, let alone the things they say.
What happens with Cisco shows just how close the group of friends/found family are. They are all instantly there, offering love and support in any way that's needed and it gives all of them an awareness of just how important life is. Spending time with family is the most important thing to Ronan and Tennyson, but then so is feeling fulfilled when doing their work which leads to an important conversation for the couple regarding their future. I'm looking forward to seeing how that develops for the group.
Another strong story in the Cold Case Psychic series, with this being the only story not involving a cold case. We have plenty of time spent with all of the guys and the kids, a strong case that has everyone involved and has many clues to keep you thinking, and then plans for the future of the group regarding their work.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.

You're in for a treat!
If you like ghost stories from Salem, psychics and police detectives, you're in the right place! This story had me both laughing out loud and biting my nails, and I read the story in one sitting. This story is about cursed police chiefs and solving the case of a missing young mother. The West Side Magick team and former detectives Ronan and Kevin are asked to help solve the case. And what a case it was. The suspense was a killer! I found it so hard not to peak at the end of the story. I also loved reading about the love between the members and friends of the Magic team. It reminded me of a big, loving, fun family gathering with all the kids romping and the adults goofing around. The low angst family and friends combined with the nail-biting suspense, made the story a joy to read and I will definitely re-read it again. No cliffhanger and I liked how the story ended, the author managed to surprise me :). This was my first story in this series. It can absolutely be read on its own, but I missed some background of the characters.
I voluntarily decided to write this review based on an ARC of this story. This review reflects my honest opinion. I enjoyed it so much that I will buy the previous (and new) stories in this series.

These books just keep getting better!
I absolutely love these books! I look forward to every single one and can't wait for the next one to come out. Pandora has created a world of characters that are so easy to fall in love with and you can't help but want more of them.
Ronan and Ten are back in the saddle in this book working for Cisco and the Salem P.D. to help find a missing mother. This book is full of mystery and keeps you guessing the whole time who it could be. Will they find her alive and save the day? I guess you have to read it to find out! I loved getting to see some characters we don't get a lot of. I also really enjoy all the love you can feel from these guys for their family and friends just seep off of the pages.
I can't wait for the next book from Pandora and I look forward to what might be next for the gang in their new future! I would highly recommend reading this series!

3.5* rounded up
We are back with Ronan and Ten for a slightly different mystery this time.
When Cisco is suffering a heart attack, Ronan, Fitz and Jude are dragged into the case of a missing woman.
These books have to be read in order to understand the relationships and history between the different couples, especially Ronan's thirst for a proper mystery and Ten's reluctance about it. The books are like revisting good friends, seeing what happened in their lives and how their children grow.
On the other hand, this is a bit of a problem, I would prefer less domestic scenes with children and more ghosts and things that go bump in the night, the reason for the star deduction.
The books are easy to read, the mystery itself is keeping you on track and makes you wonder what happened to Suzie and what the gang will discover.
With a twist at the end I hope the author will go back to her roots how Cold Case Psychic started.

Wow! I just finished Dead Line and loved the story! You are drawn in quickly as the group of friends has to deal with a missing woman and a health scare. Good thing Ronan and Ten are on the case with the folks from West Side Magick. They quickly jump in to help solve a case for Cisco who suffered a health scare that almost cost him his life. This story has ghosts, mischievous kids that steal your heart and both family and found family that support and love each other and that always have each other’s backs. This is another story in a series that I look forward to reading each and every time and can’t wait until the next one. Do I recommend this story? You bet! Dive into a world of mediums, detectives, and families that support and love each other no matter what. Highly recommend this book to all!

Delightful suspenseful missing person case. It was wonderful to be back with Ronan and Ten and included in the world of Westside Magic and all the amazing chosen family. The story was really solid and had me guessing until the reveal. The writing flowed and the story kept me reading from cover to cover in one sitting.
This is book twenty-two of the Cold Case Psychic series and it would be most enjoyable if you had read some of the previous books. The main characters have been developed through many of the previous books and it is so enjoyable to see this authors continuing the characters' growth and connections.
I was gifted this book from Gay Romance Reviews and i freely give my honest opinion and review.

Love these guys!
Ronan and Tennyson are back on the trail of Salem's criminal element when, as a a favour to SPD Chief Cisco Jackson, they agree to find a missing woman...but who knows if she's dead or alive?I
22 cases in and I still don't know how to express more emphatically how much I love Ronan and Ten, their little family, and the whole of the Salem found family. Dead Line is just another wonderfully entertaining read that'll keep you guessing till the end whilst giving you the warm fuzzies be sure the bond these characters have is amazing. The best thing? It seems as if our heroes are going to be staying busy for the foreseeable. 5*

Ten and Ronan are brought back in to a police investigation. The two have spent the last several years working in the private sector with the exception of a one off case with the BPD. Personal tragedy strikes the CCP family in the middle of a missing persons case. Ronan and Ten are asked to step in to help solve the mystery. The two are joined by Jude and Fitzgibbon. This case is different than the usual cheating spouses, insurance fraud or connecting with deceased family members. Ten and Ronan are battling the clock to bring home a young mother. The case has long lasting implications for the entire CCP family and could change all of their futures.
July 12, 2023
I can never get enough of Tennyson and Ronan! Dead Line is a wonderful addition to the Cold Case Psychic series.
Pandora has created a world of characters that are so easy to fall in love with and you can't help but want more of them.
I devoured Dead Line in one sitting and loved it. Ronan and Ten are back in the thick of things in this book working for Cisco and the Salem P.D. to help find a missing mother. This book is full of mystery and keeps you guessing the whole time .
I can't wait for the next book from Pandora and I look forward to what might be next for the gang in their new future! I would highly recommend reading this series!

I LOVE these guys! Ronan and Ten are asked to step up and help in a missing person case, when Sheriff Cisco, has a heart attack. The search for Suzi who disappeared 3 weeks earlier frustrates local LE, because there seem to be no clues. There are a lot of complexities in this story about personal, relationship and legal expectations. Great team of friends, families and professionals who form a great supportive group. DJ has created characters that are likeable and lovable who draw us in and keep us riveted. The cases keep the reader guessing and the endings are always a surprise. Excellent writing. Well done! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
July 12, 2023
This was a very enjoyable read. I especially loved seeing the guys's home lives and kids. There isn't a lot of supernatural action here outside of the psychics using their gift to "read" people and one minor "vision." Mostly it's a police procedural about the team's search for a missing mother. There were plenty of suspects, and I loved watching the guys follow the leads and ferret out clues. Trigger warnings for kidnapping and scenes of domestic abuse and violence (from the suspects).

I enjoyed so much being back with Ten, Ronan, and all the guys as they work to find a missing woman. I loved the intrigue, the mystery, the tension. I loved the how-to of solving the case and finding and punishing the baddies. That's my jam! And of course, I loved the togetherness and affection between the guys and the love between the partners. Ten and Ronan have a never-ending passion that is beautiful to see and even when they disagree, their love is a burning flame between them. It was really nice to reconnect with them...like coming home.

The drama never stops for our resident psychics and detectives. A medical event within their close knit friend group puts Ronan, Tennyson, Jude, and Fitzpatrick back working as detectives for Salem PD. The case has many twists and turns with lots of revelations for our group of heroes. Life changing decisions are in the future which will bring new professional challenges. I cannot get enough of this team and hope to keep reading their cases for years to come.
July 3, 2023
Another awesome read featuring Ten and Ronan. This time Ronan and Fitz are asked to work on locating the missing mother Suzi. She was been missing for three weeks and the team are trying to find her. With Ten’s gift they talk to her parents, husband and in-laws trying to find out who might have done. Great action, world building and the mystery was solved near the end which I did not expect. Cannot wait to read more,
July 11, 2023
This book is absolutely fantastic.. It was intensely gripping while still being a romance. The returning characters all made the story jump off the pages. I found myself so riveted that I struggled with putting it down. The villain was a surprise but so well thought out. As with the previous books in this series this one is another triumph. Excellently told! I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
July 1, 2023
This gang can do little wrong. I love it when we are back with Ronan and Ten.
Love how the team work so well together and how those not direct involved come through to help with the kids. Great to see Luca in this one part of me however wishes he was still a vampire.
Good mystery and as usual I didnt guess the guilty party.
Hope this isnt the end as the book is labelled as 22 out of 22.

Somehow, each book of this series is my favorite and I cannot get enough.
There is something about the combination of the characters, story lines, found family, and how they will go to the wall for each other that makes each book so good. As always, there are a few twists that you might not see coming.

I enjoyed the new addition to the Cold Case Psychic series. It was a delight to see Tenn and Ronan again along with their kids and the other main characters. Ronan is asked to help out with a case after Cisco has a health scare. Tenn is reluctant because every time Ronan gets involved he gets hurt. The book is romantic, mysterious, funny, with some angst, action-packed and I read it in one sitting.
July 7, 2023
Fabulous beyond words!
Dead Line is completely and utterly fabulous. I was laughing out loud one minute and nearly blubbing the next. The characters are all fabulous - even the vile ones. As for whodunit, I did not see THAT coming!! The ending leaves me super, super excited for the next book!!

I took a break from reading this series for some reason then got offered this book as an ARC which has re-ignited my passion for the series. Ronan and Ten are once again helping their friends with a case that like to have a sad outcome. I always enjoy this authors writing and this book is no exception. I am going to read the books in the series I’ve missed.
July 10, 2023
I was so glad Ronan didn't get shot.
Pine always said she was going to have Ronan and Ten unretire themselves. And she always said that if they did it would be i Salem. Hope there's more. Flesh and blood creepies are a little less scary than the dead creepies from their last cases.
Good, edge of the seat suspense. Fun read. Can't wait for more.

The police chef has had a heart attack and is in hospital so they ask him to try to find a missing woman. He knows his husband just wants him to leave the police although he intends to find the missing woman. Is she still alive? Where is she? Who has taken her? What has she been taken? See if he can find her and the truth if it all
July 14, 2023
A great missing person case has Ronan back on the job and fortunately, Ten while worried about Ronan understands and supports his need to work the case. Pine has done a wonderful job of planting clues and red herrings all over the place and I couldn't stop reading to watch our gang suss out the true story of what happened.
August 23, 2025
Poor Cisco! I wasn't happy he was hurt, but I loved the opening it gave for Ronan and Fitz to get into the heart of being a detective again. They missed it so much, even though they love their family. The mystery itself was interesting. I didn't expect it to end up where it did. I continue to love these.
July 4, 2023
Another great one!!!
I had no idea another story of Ten and Ronan was out. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!! The gang was all here. As usual Pandora put out an awesome story. Not tired of this series yet! Great work!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I've followed this series from the start, and this didn't disappoint. This story has a decent mystery, but is more about the strength of the relationship between the guys, and particularly between Ronan and Ten. It demonstrates their love of one another, their kids and their friends beautifully. The whole gang are here, helping and supporting one another, demonstrating how close their bond is. A good and worthy addition to the series.

Ten and Ronan save the day again
This was a great who done it with several twists. Roanan, Ten and the gang once again band together to find a missing woman. With no possible leads it takes all of Westside Magic and the detective agency to save the day.
