Principles of Spookology

Written by S.E. Harmon

Narrated by Kirt Graves

No one said being a medium would be easy.



Rain Christiansen, former FBI agent and current cold case detective, is starting to think it's the hardest job he's ever had—and the most important. He's determined to accept all the changes in his formerly well-ordered life, but that means embracing a whole lot of weird. There's no instruction manual for meshing his work with his medium duties, and he's painfully aware that he's flubbing the job. So are the ghosts, who are becoming increasingly impatient. And stronger.



To complicate matters, he's not sure what these spooktacular developments mean for his relationship. It certainly seems like Daniel McKenna, his partner in work and life, is in it for the long haul. But Rain can't help but wonder how long that patience will last . . . and what he'll do if Danny decides the intrusive ghosts are just too much.



Rain thought accepting his supernatural gifts would be the solution to his troubles. But he's starting to realize his problems are just getting started.

I enjoyed this book much more than I did the previous one in the series. In the first installation it was very difficult to believe the MCs were anything but in lust with each other, and that was thoroughly remedied in this book. Rain and Daniel's love was so clearly written here (but not sappy or sugary) and it made me love them too. Rain still behaves as an immature brat and I still think it's a wonder he was let anywhere near police work, but due to the reason above I found him much less annoying this time. The mystery was solid and while the paranormal aspect still reminded me a lot of PsyCop (minus the cynicism), it was less distracting than before and it worked well.
In all I had fun with the story, and will definitely read the next one in the series.

Kirt Graves has such a great voice, I love listening to him.

I really enjoyed this the 2nd book in the series. I was a little confused after listening to the audi version of book one with the narrator change but after a chapter I got over that. I enjoy the characters and their dynamics. The story is well written and the relationships between Rain and Danny develop along with Rains relationships with the team. Very happy to have stumbled across this series.

It's a perfect melding of three storylines. It’s the straightforward detective story with catching the murderer...okay, as straight forward as a cold case investigation relying on the paranormal abilities of one of the investigators can be. Then it’s the way Rain’s trying to cope with his ghostly sightings, how it’s affecting him and the people around him... and finally, it’s the story of Rain and Danny. Rains mother must have been a 'flower child" in her youth to have named her son Rainstorm, but everyone, except her, just calls him Rain. Rain and his partner...in more ways than one...are simply amazing together and the story, though mostly about catching a serial killer, is filled with funny and clever "one liners" that catches you unexpectantly. Rain and Danny are still a work in progress, but together...they are warm fuzzies and perfection personified. The story would have received a 5-star rating except I found that the storyline kinda wanders off into realms of its own at times. Other than that, there were ghosts, a murder to solve, humor and love...what more could you ask for? I'm looking forward to more Rain and Danny in book 3.
