Ghost of Himself

Haunted Souls, Book 1

De: Pandora Pine

Narrado por: Michael Pauley

When a reclusive psychic shows up looking for Jude Byrne in his adopted hometown of Salem, Massachusetts, the private investigator’s walls go up instantly. Psychic or not, this mysterious man knows secrets about Jude’s past that are better left buried in the New Mexico desert. Stranger still is the personality change that comes over the flirty PI after he meets the newcomer.

Psychic Copeland Forbes is a man on the edge. The once popular and well-respected medium has lived in seclusion since an attack by a former student has shaken his confidence in his abilities. Sickened by an ailment no doctor can diagnose, he travels from his home in Louisiana to seek out the one man he believes he can help him, if the rumors are true.

Faced with an enemy possessing powers greater than either man has ever faced alone, will Jude and Copeland decide to work together to defeat this dark magick? Or will both men continue on as they are now, ghosts of themselves?

Great New Series!

This is a great start to a new series that is another spinoff of the Cold Case Psychic series, one of my favorite! We finally get Jude's story and I'm glad that he's actually getting his own series. Jude and Copeland have great chemistry and are perfect for one another. It's a slow burn wrapped up in a great story with a wonderful mystery to solve. The narrator was absolutely fabulous with this story! I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audiobook.

Ghost of Himself

Omg this audio book was absolutely positivity amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.

Jude's story brought to life by the fab Mr Pauley

Yes! Jude's book is finally here and what a fantastic start to a new series. Fans of the Cold Case Psychic series should love this book, it includes all of our favourite characters and introduces some new ones for us to get to know. I'd recommend starting with that series as there are quite a few characters to get to know but it's not essential.
In this book we follow Jude and new man, Copeland Forbes, who has travelled to Salem from New Orleans specifically for Jude's help. Between the two of them and everyone at West Side Majick, they set to work on finding who is out for Cope and hurting him. Jude's character has come so far since first meeting him and it's great finally getting to read from him POV. The interactions between the MC's are interesting to read as there's not necessarily the hot burning attraction but definitely something there between them that I hope evolves in the next books in the series.
The premise of Haunted Souls is intriguing and I'm excited to read what direction Pandora takes the men in and what situations they find themselves in. This book is a great start to a series, slowly allowing us to grow a connection with the MC's and build up an interest in the goings on of them and then plot of the story. I was engaged throughout trying to work out who the bad guy was and anticipating the outcome of situations. I'd love to read more on Jude's Navajo background and to explore more of Cope's witch side.
I definitely recommend this book and am looking forward to book two. I'd suggest reading the Cold Case Psychic series first as a lot of characters from there are included and it's a slower introduction to everyone :-)
Michael Pauley has truly done justice with the characters in this book. With waiting on Jude's story for so long and a brand new man from New Orleans, a lot of fans had high hopes and they have been exceeded. I fell into the narration, needing to keep listening as Michael brought the best out of the book and had the thoughts, feelings and experiences of the characters resounding in my ears.

Great Start to a Spin-Off Series

We first meet Jude in the author's series "Dead Ringer", and its so nice to see him finally get his own book!! He is in Salem when once popular psychic, Copeland, comes looking for him after Copeland gets sick with something no one can diagnose. In this story you get a little bit more of Jude's backstory. Add in some mystery, some magic and some new friends (Onyx is my favorite) and you have the great start to a new series. I can't wait to see how this series progresses.
Michael Pauley did a wonderful job with his performance. His voice is perfect to bring this world to life! Wonderful job!

Excellent start to a new series!!!

I absolutely loved this book. I am a huge fan of the Cold Case Psychic series and its spin off novellas so I have been anxiously awaiting Jude's story and I am ecstatic that he is getting his own series. I can't wait to learn even more about him and his new "partner" Cope. My heart was going out to Cope from the beginning and seeing Jude swoop in to be his protector was the perfect beginning to this story. I really like how the author is handling the fledgling new "relationship" between these two men and not rushing them into love. I look forward to watching them grow as a team and seeing what kind of shenanigans they get into. We get to learn more about Jude's background and we get to visit with all of our friends from the Cold Case series. I am not completely caught up with that series because I am waiting for the audibles to come out but after this story I may have to slot some time to go read them all. I didn't feel like I had missed a whole lot but I could tell there were stories that I had missed and that just won't do. This story can be enjoyed on its own but is much more enoyable if you have read the other books. Michael Pauley does an excellent job with the narration as always and it's very easy to figure out who is talking just by listening to his voice. He carries over the voices from the other connected series very well so he was the perfect choice to continue this story line!
