About the author

Sick of the slogging rat-race of her 9-5 job, Pandora Pine put pen to paper (literally!) to make her ambition of becoming a romance novelist a reality. She cut her teeth in the dog-eat-dog world of fanfiction, still dreaming of the day when she would be a published author. She lives in Massachusetts with her blabbermouth muse who’ s a fan of middle of the night plot twists.

In her spare time, Pandora fancies herself an amateur nature photographer. She enjoys mucking around in swamps, hiking through the woods and crawling around on her hands and knees in her backyard seeking out the perfect shot. Pandora is a fan of roadside seafood shacks and always thinks Mexican food is a good idea at the time.

Some of Pandora’s favorite things are chocolate, writing longhand with purple pens and handsome men falling in love with each other.

Don't miss Pandora’s seductive new novel coming soon to an e-reader near you.

very short

This os a simple story with one ghost appearance and should have been called a novella. Pandora seems to publish a book a month and perhaps if she spent more time on a longer book with a more suspensful story the results would be better.

Not sure it is worth the money and compared to other authors writing this trope she jist isn’t as good as she was when she began the series.

Another winning book from Ms. Pine. I was excited when I saw that it downloaded last night. The story was excellent and kept my attention throughout the book. Everly again, played an important role in solving the cold case, which delighted me. It always nice to have a new book to read from this author. Strongly encourage reading this book.

This was a terrific story and I admit that I didn't think Cisco was guilty until his nickname of "Doom" was used and even Fitz was beginning to doubt him. Of course Everly knew the truth(wish I knew someone like her)and the truth when revealed was truly awful and made you wonder how much this happens in real life. My complaint again is where are the pups?

Always Enjoyable💜

I never get tired of reading about Ronan, Ten and their growing family of psychics and cops and the kids, especially Everly, often steal the show! I did enjoy this one but as the evidence kept stacking up I kept praying that Cisco was the good guy we all believed him to be!

A friend of Aurora's hears a ghostly voice whilst he is in the local jail for drink driving. Aurora calls in Ten who in turns goes to the Cold Case Detectives.
Following the evidence it goes back to one of their friends and the gang work to prove their friend innocent.

Pandora certainly knows how to toy with your emotions. I was smiling, angry at the guys, fearful for one character and nearly crying. Brilliant book.
