I’ve read every book in this series. I’ve had this one in particular on my Kindle for a while and haven’t gotten around to reading it, but I figured I’d go ahead and wrap up this series. Charlotte Silver’s family is famous ghost hunters. This time around, though, they’ve messed with the wrong spirit. With Charlotte’s mom in the hospital, barely alive, Charlotte is doing her best to keep herself together. But when a dark, shadowy figure won’t stop following her, Charlotte has to find a way to get rid of it—without causing more damage to her relatives. Overall, if you enjoy ghosts, mystery, and paranormal investigators, then I’d recommend picking up this book, and the rest of the series.

This is the sequel to "Singer of Souls", which I thought was an excellent and original urban fantasy novel. Unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed with the sequel, and I've been trying to decide why it didn't hit the same spot with me as the first book. The only thing I can think of is that the first book had a great narrative curve (if that's even a term?) --- it really built up the plot and the tension very carefully, from a slow start to a gradual exposition to an explosive climax. I couldn't put it down. The second book just... maintains more or less the same pace all through the story. It also followed several points of view rather than just one, which dilutes the story even more. I don't know... It's a shame. I really liked book 1, and Adam's an interesting guy (I actually exchanged a couple of emails with him and he was kind enough to join my group to discuss the book), but "Steward of Song" gets just 2 stars from me. Still, I recommend book 1 "Singer of Souls" to everyone, and I will definitely check out anything he writes in the future.
