Dead Vessel

Dead Vessel by Amanda Fasciano digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

What are you supposed to do when the spirit of someone alive suddenly appears?

 

Having died in the line of duty, Detective Cadence Riley has been recruited to help police haunted locations so that the spirits don't give too much away to the living. She and her partner have also helped protect the living from non-human evil spirits. All is going according to procedure until someone alive appears before her.

 

Cadence has been reunited with her brother--who died ten years before when the majority of coeds in his dorm were slaughtered. Restoration of the old Victorian style dorm has begun as the college is intent on opening the building up once more. The construction does more than disturb the spirits of the dead, however.

 

The spirit of an old classmate, one not killed in the massacre, appears out of the blue. As Cadence and Snow begin to put the pieces of the puzzle regarding his sudden appearance in place, it becomes clear that more is at stake. This case, for both the living and the dead, is as dangerous as a raging fire. Someone is bound to get burned.

Dead Vessel Reviews

4.0
“4.5 Stars The book starts roughly six months after the last one had finished. Cade gets comfortable in her job and learns more tricks when her brother calls and tells them that the college wants to reopen the old dorm rooms, where he was killed 10 years ago and currently spends his time as a monitor for several of the other killed students, who don't know that they are dead. Additionally, a new ghost appears, who seems to be from the same period, but wasn't killed back then. When Cade and Snow find out, that the person is still very much alive, a new case starts and it's even more dangerous than the last one. We meet most of the old characters again. Ramon, the Orderly in the asylum, who frequently has to patch Cade together and has a crush on her, Andy, her old partner, the human ghost hunters, and Croft, who left me very suspicious in book one but became more positive in this one. Cade and the relationships with all of the characters develop nicely and she realizes that she has very good friends and actually a more fulfilled and happy "life" now, than she had when she was alive. Again, the book wraps up nicely and doesn't leave you hanging, which I always appreciate in series. No cliffhanger, but enough hints and loose threads, to eagerly await the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.”
