Book 2 in the series. 
 Chasing otherworldly creatures in a small and remote mining town. The lovers: the very proper & sheltered scholar and the rough & tough ex Pinkertown. The best friend: a non-conformist lady scholar, very well travelled and quite handy with a gun. The three are unstoppable in spite of the dangers and their personal weaknesses. They make a fantastic team, complementing each other beautifully. I liked the ex-lover drama, and how it ended up making the two heroes's relationship stronger. Less hot than book 1 because there is no serious UST, but more character development made up for it. 
 This is a bit of a ccross between Missouri Dalton and Josh Lanyon. Missouri for the horror-paranormal and Josh for the sleuthing and the characters. This is now one of my favourite series. I hope there are more books to come.
