Colorado – Present Day

With the sudden frantic appearance of her ghost Labrador, Enzo, early one morning at Clare's lover's apartment, it's obvious that something is about to drag Clare, and her lover, Zach, into yet another ghostly assignment. Sure enough, the Other appears in Enzo's eyes – the “advisor” who nastily informs her of what she needs to do. Whoever, or whatever, the Other is, he never gives Clare quite enough information, but expects her to figure it out for herself. As a newly minted ghost seer, inherited from her great-aunt, Clare is also well aware that the only reason she is still alive is because she accepted this new role in life.

Clare learns  that her ability to help ghosts move on to the hereafter is needed desperately in the town of Creede where an evil ghost has devoured all of the other ghosts and is now threatening the life of another ghost seer, seven-year-old Caden, Zach's landlady's great-grandson. Because his parents refuse to believe in the tales he tells them, his great-grandmother, Mrs. Flinton, is urging Clare and Zach to travel to Creede to help the boy.

Before they leave, Clare is informed by Enzo that she must take “the knife” with her as it's the only way to kill an evil ghost. He shows her where it's hidden in her great aunt's belongings.

Arriving in Creede, the first thing Clare notices is what is missing – ghosts. She sees and feels none, which is unusual. They check into the motel that Caden's parents own, and Clare introduces herself to the little boy, assuring him that she is there to help him. But an incident involving the evil ghost, the knife, and Caden have the boy's parents banishing Clare and Zach from coming near him. Somehow, Clare must figure out who this evil spirit is and find a way to stop it.

GHOST KILLER is part of the Ghost Seer series and out of the imaginative mind of Robin D. Owens. Although Clare is only weeks into her new “job” as a seer, she is quick to find answers to the oncoming dangers brought about by the unknown ghost. Zach has his own psychic ability, and his background as a sheriff helps in other ways. Helped by the ghostly Labrador and occasionally by the enigmatic Other, Clare and Zach furiously search for answers to banish the evil from Creede and protect Caden.

Fans of paranormal romance must read this exciting, sensual, and magical series. Do start with GHOST SEER, then GHOST LAYER, in order to understand more of Clare's background and how her special gifts came about. Well written, this character-driven series is terrific.
