Spiteful Spectres: Blue Moon Australia Book 1 Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,021 ratings

Murderous ghosts, crazy cultists, and a sexy cop looking to lock him up … Darius Kane got more than he bargained for when he became the Gold Coast's first paranormal investigator.

Hired to solve the murder of a local mechanic, Darius soon discovers the victim is just one in a series of suspicious deaths, but is there really a ghost at the heart of the case?

The cops sure don’t think so, but whoever is behind it doesn’t like Darius poking around and if he’s not careful the so called ‘Casper Killer’ will add him to the list of victims.

Joined by an eager journalist, a loyal beagle, and a band of brothers from the pub, Darius is well and truly in the killer's crosshairs.

Can they uncover the truth before they are added to the Caper Killer's unfinished business? Or will they discover the ghost they are chasing is just the puppet?

One thing is for sure, Australia is in for a surge of paranormal nonsense, and someone is going to have to sort it out.

Get ready for urban fantasy mayhem.

    I have been reading Blue Moon books by Steve Higgs since he started them and have happily continued reading the spin offs. Darius Kane is Australia’s only paranormal investigator and this new series is penned by SC Stokes. Darius is a former soldier who served with Tempest and Big Ben. Tempest suggested he also start a paranormal detective agency- he told him- “ it more then pays the bills and keeps the lights on.” So he did- first case are murderous wraiths floating around the Gold Coast and murdering folks- in particular a mechanic that the widow says was not suicide. Darius like Tempest doesn’t believe in ghosts BUT he takes the case to discover who did the deed so the insurance money can go to his family. We are introduced to a sexy cop that thinks Darius might have committed the crime and soon he has more cases which might be entertained. The story flowed - I enjoyed meeting him and his friends and look forward to more stories with them. Also want to thank the author for putting this series in kindle unlimited
