Maggie Hathorn is the spirit of a socialite who is determined to redeem the sins of her past by spending her afterlife solving crimes in turn-of-the-century Manhattan. Reverend Coronado is a young exorcist whose life is turned upside down the moment he is first possessed by Maggie’s vivacious spirit. Navigating a budding romance that crosses the boundaries between life and death is challenging enough in its own right.

Solving murders and banishing demons together makes for an unusual courtship, but nothing could be more important to this spirit and her suitor than protecting the city they both cherish.

A ghost and an exorcist make an unlikely pair. But from the moment Maggie Hathorn tumbled into Reverend Coronado, it was love at first possession… In 1899 Manhattan, the impending turn of the century has put both the living and the dead on edge. As the spirit of a socialite who has haunted the city streets for longer than she walked them, Maggie now spends her afterlife helping to solve crimes for New York City’s Ghost Precinct. When Coronado gets roped into investigating a murder at a nearby church, Maggie jumps at the opportunity to flex her sleuthing skills and spend more time with the distressingly handsome reverend. But as familiar with death as Maggie is, she is not prepared for the gruesome sight of the crime scene. A beautiful bride lies in a pool of blood beside her beloved, in a scene that reminds Maggie of her own final moments. Maggie can’t even look at the bride’s ghost without being thrust into traumatic memories and losing her grip on the living world. The last thing Maggie wants is to lose this spectral second chance at life that she’s been given. But how can she help this dead bride without endangering her own spirit? Maggie will have to draw on her strongest bonds and connections to keep herself tethered while she confronts her own mortality. It’s a good thing Reverend Coronado is there by her side. No one else has ever made her feel so alive. Spend more time with some familiar characters from Leanna Renee Hieber’s The Spectral City in this first book in fresh, new series.

To do this, Maggie will need to call on allies new and old to help take down the guild and dispel the amassing demons. And Maggie herself will need to step into her role as a bridge between the living and the dead.
