About this book

From New York Times bestselling author Deanna Chase, the first book in the Pyper Rayne series (a spin-off of the Jade Calhoun Series). All Pyper Rayne—medium and coffee shop owner—wanted was the perfect vintage dress. What she got was a dead shop owner and a sexy ghost who’s suddenly everywhere—at her shop, in her car, and even lounging in her bedroom. But he’s not just any ghost. He’s a witch and able to appear in solid form…sometimes. If only he'd stop disappearing on her. And Pyper needs his help. When she becomes target numero uno and the prime suspect in the shop owner’s death, it appears her ghost holds the key to solving the murder. In between stolen kisses, Pyper will need to get to the bottom of all of his secrets if she wants to stay alive and out of jail…and maybe finally get that date he keeps promising her.

I loved Pyper's book!

Deanna Chase has done it again! Everything about this book was really great! She always does amazing things with the city of New Orleans. The characters she brings to life are fun, exciting, and very likeable. Pyper has been one of my favorites from the Jade Calhoun series, so I couldn't wait to read her story. It doesn't disappoint.

Really great story!

I received this book free from one of the book sites. I do not remember which one! This is my honest and voluntary review. Wow! Witches, demon hunters, seers and one smoking hot ghost man. Read the book to figure out what that means. Fast paced and hot without being sexual. Kissing & innuendo. )

This is my first from this author. Even though it’s a spinoff it easily brings the reader into the story with well established characters. It’s not exactly sweet but there is no open door spice in this first in series. Maybe later if we’re lucky! It’s really good and fast flowing. It’s read by audible instead of virtual voice so that helps too! Jorja Rae-indie author )

Nice light read with sassy, complicated female characters

April 12, 2018

I am pretty sure I have read everything Deanna Chase has written so far. Sometimes you just want to read a paranormal romance set in New Orleans with sassy female characters and relax into the twists and turns their lives take throughout the series. I started off with the Jade Calhoun series, (this is an offshoot of that with the same charhceters, just focused on Pyper instead of Jade) and haven’t been disappointed yet. The books are fast paced, easy to read, and action packed. There is never a...
