Madison Meyer has come across her first case as a paranormal investigator. The trouble is, she's not sure if the girl who hired them is even telling the truth. Or she's not sure until she gets marked by the winged demon Hadley told them about
Their client is a seventeen-year-old girl who was sent to Hope House, a live-in counseling center. After hiring Maddie and Erkens to find her missing friend, Hadley also disappears. She's not the only girl to be unaccounted for in Pittsburgh either. The clock is ticking.
Can Madison figure out where those missing girls are being held before it's too late? Do you know who the black merchants are? The truth can sometimes be far more painful than lies. What is truth and what is lies?
Shannon Reber was born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . . or her imagination was anyway. She lives in western New York with her husband and a wide variety of both real and imaginary friends who often battle it out for dominance in her head. Who needs yet another normal person in this messed up world? Read her books, or the evil overlord will take control of her mind!
The Black Merchant is the second book in the Madison Meyer series – and it doesn’t disappoint! I love the character development in Madison, Ian, Erkens and Spencer. I enjoyed seeing more of the spirit world and learning how everything fit together. A few new characters were introduced that I hope become regulars as they enrich the background and encourage Madison’s growth. If you like fast-paced books that have snark, humor, ghosts and other things from the other side of the veil – this is for you. I can’t wait to see what kind of shenanigans the gang gets into next!
