Along came a demon (Whisperings)- Linda Welch

I've always enjoyed a good paranormal adventure, so when this story was offered I grabbed at the opportunity.
Tiffany sees ghosts. And not just any ghosts. Only those that have been violently killed. This can really put a damper on life-especially when it comes to a love life. So when a new ghost appears to her naked and wet in her garden, unable to recall who killed her and desperately seeking her son, Tiff must rise to the occasion. As a consultant to the police, Tiff is now able to use her connections to broaden her investigation. However when she is assigned a partner who seems not quite human, she has to learn to separate fact from fiction regarding her assumptions about non-humans. Ghosts are not Tiff's only problem-otherworldly creatures and especially demons seem out to get her. What has she gotten herself involved in? Who can she trust? How can she help those who can't be seen?

The author's writing style is easy to read and able to be absorbed without intense concentration. I found a few editing errors like missing words or incorrect tenses which disrupted the flow of the book. And in worlds of ghosts and demons, the reader needs to suspend belief to allow for certain situations to be plausible. The heroine is a strange character-she is too sweet to ask her "housemates" to leave even though she really does not want them there, and then is willing to endure extreme physical pain or even die for the sake of others. And her haste to trust-maybe demons have magic too? The story was still a great read though-light and fun and perfect for a rainy day.
