Shadows from Another Life

A woman who can see past lives falling in love with a man who's been dead for 100 years--should be easy, right? Um, no.

Teena Jones has always known about being murdered in her past life. That's no biggie. But when she falls in love with a revenant, things get complicated. Still, can't a girl break up with the undead man she loves for reasons even she doesn't understand without the Magical Council sticking their noses in? If only.

The Hon. William Ambrose Deighton was the younger son of a minor baron a century or so ago, and nothing in that lifetime prepared him for the afterlife he's living. Or for Teena, who--despite the fact that they're perfect for each other--won't let him love her.

But suddenly the Council comes calling. It seems Teena's murderer has been reincarnated and is leaving behind bodies again--including Teena's, if she doesn't look out. Together with the Council's Outer Banks Irregulars--which include a psychic, a sorcerer, a dog-shaped magical parolee, a revenant who dreams of the circus, and a drag queen vampire--they need to figure out why, and how to stop him.

Still, as they race across Europe, through stately homes, stone cairns, Parisian cemeteries, and ancient Venice--not to mention a ride on the Orient Express--the case becomes much more complex. It seems this killer has accomplices from his former life, and, this time, the changes they plot will drag the world into a cruel and heartless past from which it might never escape. Can the paranormal world's weirdest (and occasionally entirely unprepared) detectives find a way to stop them?
