About this book

I'm Zoe Thorne and I speak to the dead. Unfortunately, dead isn't always synonymous with good-natured. In fact, most of the spirits I meet have dirty minds and a tendency to create mischief and mayhem. For the past two months, I've been traveling with the cast of The Wraith Files, a paranormal investigation web show. Stony and Blaine are like the perverted, annoying brothers I never had. Our boss, Malachi Flemming, well, he makes my heart beat faster and my hormones dance.During a break from filming, I've returned home to my resident ghost, Teri, an exotic dancer who died thirty years ago. I'm on a mission to find the man who murdered her and see that justice is served.Preoccupied with my search for a killer, I'm unaware that something dark and twisted lies in wait for me. Not one, but two faceless entities intent on terrorizing me before moving in for the kill.With unseen enemies shadowing my every move, it's time to discover how deep my abilities run. I need every bit of power I possess...or I'll be taking my place among the dead.This book contains a perverted ghost, two men who act like teenage boys, and lots of sarcasm.

The dead came calling

December 17, 2016

Another great book by C.C. Wood. ''The Wraith Files'' is becoming my favourite series. The Dead Come calling(They came calling alright) is the second book in the series. The Dead come calling was an awesome read. I loved it so much I read it again. It was creepy, funny, and oh boi the suspense. I thought I had some parts figured out, only to be hit with somethig els. But it was fun seeing the gang back together. And, Teri! She had me LOLing. ''Joblow'' That had me cracking up. I can not wait...

Zoe and the gang: things get SERIOUS

October 13, 2019

This is the second book in the series. The series MUST be read in order as these are NOT standalone. TDCC starts a couple of months after the first book ended. Zoe is now a full-fledged member of Mal's team, the chemistry between Mal and Zoe heats up, and the team is on the hunt for supernatural being they know nothing about. The tone of TDCC is more serious than the first is however there is still some humor to lighten the drama. I love the engagement between Zoe and her mom and the something...

Fabulous cast of characters

This was a ton of fun. What a fabulous cast of characters. I wouldn't mind having a resident ghost if she were like Teri. But with my luck, I'd probably end up with one like the bad entity. I was biting my nails over whether Mal was going to be the one possessed. It made me anxious because I really like this couple together. Now I'm going to have to read the rest of this series. I didn't read the first book before this, but I had no trouble understanding the story. Five stars. )

Love this series

The characters and their interactions keep me reading, along with the story line. Great premise fir an escape to the “other worldly” while keeping me interested in the human relationships. I still want Teri to be my ghost! What a hoot! )

Good

Zoe’s been on the road with the Wraith Files team, but now she’s back home, she wants to investigate the death of her resident ghost. Teri’s death is its own horror story, but it’s not long before Zoe and Mal are dealing with something quite malevolent, and it’s got Zoe in its sight! Zoe learns a bit more about her abilities, and some more about Teri in this book. Her romance with Mal progresses a bit (slow burn), and we meet some new and interesting characters. It’s an enjoyable, and creepy...
