"There are things that go bump in the night, Mr. MacMillian. It's my job to bump back." 

Private detective Jesper MacMillian is sure he's seen it all. Following a long recovery after a horrific accident, his life is finally the way he wants it- or at least, close enough. The only monsters on his radar are the ones that keep him awake at night. When a grief-stricken couple begs him to find their lost son, it seems like just another day at the office. 

Lena Alan is your friendly neighborhood medium. She sees ghosts, she talks to ghosts, and when necessary, she keeps them from interfering in the world of the living. A city like San Francisco has more than enough ghosts to keep her busy, but a shocking visitation puts her on a collision course with MacMillian and his newest case. 

Before MacMillian can brace for impact, Lena drags him into a world where monsters aren't just real, they're hiding in plain sight. A deadly threat is lurking in San Francisco's dangerous underbelly, and it's going to take both of them to put it down. 

For Lena, it's another day at the office. 

For MacMillian, it's the beginning of the end of everything he thinks he knows.

 This is one the most well-written urban fantasy novels I have ever read! It's a flawless blend of a detective mystery meets the paranormal underground! The storyline was absolutely unique, the descriptions were vivid and realistic, the dialogue was spot-on flawless and the characters were intricately complex! This book wastes no time and immediately jumps into action that might be a little gory for some people, but I absolutely loved it! The characters were so complex and I felt like I actually connected with them. I completely fell in love with MacMillian and Lena! This book was so descriptive and flowed so smoothly, it was like a movie! There was quite a few things left hanging at the end that left me holding my breath and grabbing the next book in this series!
