Helpful Score: 1


Meet Bree Beaufort, Savannah Georgia's newest attorney for the Celestial Court. Her first case involves solving the murder of a local businessman who is accused by the court of greed, one of the 7 deadly sins.

To be honest, im not sure how I feel about this book. The premise was really good, and there were times throughout the book that really grabbed your attention, but then fell flat again after a few pages of excitement. Bree as a character is somewhat likeable, but ultimately forgetable. I had a hard time believeing that she took all the supernatural occurances with a grain of salt and didnt freak out in the slightest.

I was dissapointed in the way it ended with the court proceedings. What I expected and what I got were 2 different things. I really wanted to see more of the ghost as the victim, and possibly a ton more of the Celestial court proceedings. Instead we get 4 main possible murder leads provided by the murder victims' CFO, who "claimed" the ghost is haunting her and told her the names of the 4 leads. Very dissapointing.

All in All it wasnt a bad book, it just fell short of my expectations. Hopefully the next installment will be better.
