In an eerie lodge in the Pacific Northwest, Rachel poses as a medium with Sam as her technician, as the pair target the wealthy Axel Strauss. Strauss has some deep secrets of his own that are dangerously close to spilling over and the “supernatural” events that Rachel and Sam must manage for him only heightens the tension. Old and new betrayals, longstanding alliances, and unspoken agendas all come to a head as the snow flies, trapping everyone at the lodge.
Can Rachel and Sam manage to con an angry skeptic and escape with the money? Or will their efforts fall short, adding their ghosts to the ones supposedly haunting this ancient location?

I know very little about the Grifter's Songs books and downloaded this entirely because I enjoy reading Kat Richardson. As such, it did not disappoint. Kat Richardson creates splendid characters amidst a spooky backdrop that keeps the reader entranced as they figure out the mystery. The only complaints I had with this book is that there were obviously established characters and parameters that Kat Richardson had to include and these parameters stopped her from exploring some of the more interesting ideas brought up the story.
As usual, Kat’s story grows into an epic concept. The characters take on depth. Ordinary actions have unexpected consequences. There is an intricacy in this simple tale that goes way beyond the pages. A bit spooky. A bit magical.
