This book is in the Bone Trilogy and it's the second one - a couple of the main characters were in the first book - so it was nice to already have some knowledge of the characters - this is a mystery/ghost genre and the three books are set in Key West, Florida. It was a great book with a lot of mystery right up to the end - it surprised even me the ending of this book cause I was not expecting the "who" did it, till the last few pages. Great book and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a little ghost with your mystery. ( ) A good enough book, although I thought I would have liked it more. It started with the murder of an actor and actress on the set of a slasher movie that was set on a small island named Haunt Island. Two years later, a documentary is being filmed about mysteries in Key West. Sean O’Hara and his best friend are making the documentary. Vanessa Loren, who was the filmmaker for the slasher movie, seeks out Sean and convinces him to explore the mystery of Haunt Island in his documentary and the unsolved murders that happened on her film set. She also asks Sean to hire her on to help with the documentary hoping to find answers as to who did the killings. There were interesting things in the story that I enjoyed--the great Key West setting, pirate legends, ghosts, the Bermuda Triangle. But the cast of characters just wasn’t all that exciting to me and I never found myself drawn into the story as much as I hoped I would be. I loved book 1 in the series, Ghost Shadow, but this one was just average. Two years ago, Vanessa Loren and her friend Jay Allen invested all their money in a historically based horror film that Vanessa wrote. On the final night of filming, they were horrified to discover that two of their actors had been brutally killed, their arms and legs removed, and their bodies posed in a scene from the movie. Two years later she is hired as an assistant to film producer, Sean O'Hara. They are immediately attracted to each other. Sean knows that the supernatural is real, because he has his own household ghost, Bartholomew, who regularly participates in his conversations. While Sean is reluctant to believe everything Vanessa claims, he does know that for the past two years, other boats in the same area have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. This is the second book in the Bone Island paranormal romantic suspense trilogy, following Ghost Shadow. While not a huge fan of this genre I thought it was entertaining, especially the scenes involving the ghost, Bartholomew. The author does a great job of fitting her story into the Key West timeline at the beginning of the book. no reviews | add a review
