Product Description
Ghost hunter Lisa McGarrity can't understand what's gotten into the undead recently. Ectoplasm-flinging spirits and ghouls with grudges seem to be coming out of the woodwork, and she's been run ragged trying to calm the unusually outraged spirits. Tired of dealing with the disgruntled dead, Lisa is determined to take a break from all things metaphysical.
So when the mysterious and sexy Trevarr appears on her doorstep requesting her assistance in an urgent matter, Lisa is less than thrilled. Who is this man, and why is he so interested in her "kooky" hobby? What does he have to gain by visiting paranormal hot spots with her? Whatever he wants, Lisa can't help being drawn to Trevarr, and as they start working together they stumble upon a house filled to the brim with ghosts driven to the edge of madness. Now Lisa and Trevarr must figure out what's behind this ghost population explosion, before their mutual attraction causes explosions of its own.

The Reckoners, Jan 31 2011
By Urban Fantasy Investigations - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: The Reckoners (Mass Market Paperback)
I gave it a 2.5/5
I found the dialogue hard to follow, I would have to go back and read over a passage I just read to try and figure out who was talking and what they were talking about. Also the POV were really jumpy and made me wonder if I missed a page in between. Its classified as a Paranormal Romance but truthfully there isn't much of a romance. Lisa (Garrie) and Trevarr are hot for each other sure but all they really share is a steamy kiss a few times in the whole book. I liked the story, the characters were like-able and there was some great action, but the execution of everything was rough around the edges. The author left a lot of things I felt I needed to know out, Maybe it will be in STORM OF RECKONING? My overall opinion? I would MAYBE borrow it from the library ,but would not purchase myself a copy.

Not bad at all, Oct 4 2011

It is enjoyable: like the cover blurb writers I liked the "not a cat", and also liked the chapter heading quotes. The actual adventure held the interest, and even the love story was tolerable. My only caveat is that it is the beginning of a series, and it shows. -- One sequel is out, Storm of Reckoning, but there is definitely more to come.

Another hit for Doranna Durgin, Jun 27 2011
By Diana Hirt "khirt" - Published on Amazon.com

This was a fun read, especially since I live near San Jose and have visited the Winchester Mystery House, the setting for much of the action. I love anything Doranna Durgin writes, she puts together unique and interesting characters and storylines.
