Ghost Layer is the 2nd installment of the new Ghost Seer series by Robin D. Owen. I have loved her books for years and continue to read all of her Heart Mate series. The Ghost Seer books are the first ones that are primarily mystery books. Mysteries are my first love and Ms. Owens has blended the mystery, paranormal and romance together masterfully. I read the first book 2 days ago and just finished the second. Now I find myself impatiently waiting for the third installment. The books of this series will suck you in and keep you turning the pages. I found myself fully engaged in the story and with the characters. Well worth the price and the time. A real keeper....I think I will read these books again and again.

Ghost Layer is the second book in Robin D. Owens', Ghost Seer series. Readers who are looking for a book that has paranormal, romance and a good mystery will love this series. Both the hero and the heroine have psychic gifts, but they aren't the average couple, nor are their abilities. The Old West ghosts bring a historical element to the story as well. This one has everything from mysterious moving bones to a ghost dog named Enzo. It's a real treat for readers looking for something different.
What I liked:
I love the premise for this series! Owens has done such a great job of coming up with something that original in a very saturated genre. The paranormal explosion in the literary world has given us everything from vampires to demons, but one of the original paranormal characters was the ghost. I love that Owens has brought that back. Psychic abilities are also making a comeback in books and Owens is using the combination of both to bring this series alive. Added to that you have a great mystery with each book that generally has a historical angle and some romance. The Ghost Seer books have a lot to offer paranormal purists and those readers who are looking for something besides the typical vampire book.
Zach is a great male lead! Readers will enjoy Zach's moral compass and his protective and loyal attitude. He is the epitome of an Old West law man who just happened to have been born in this century. He gives off a commanding presence and doesn't seem to be afraid of much, other than his own psychic gift. I loved the old crow rhyme taught to him by his grandmother and how that plays into his premonitions. There is so much potential with this character. I think Owens has created one of those lawmen that readers won't soon forget!Read more ›

Ghost Layer picks up a few weeks after Ghost Seer ended. Clare has one case under her belt, and Zack Slade, retired cop turned private detective has just returned to Denver after testifying in a case back in his old stomping grounds of Montana. His new boss has a job for Clare involving a very wealthy snot of a man who relocated an entire western town to his ranch and is now being haunted by a ghost. While it is great for creating an authentic atmosphere, the fact that the ghost is leaving parts of his skeleton in guest's beds is not.
The ghost contacts Clare and wants her to help solve his murder and things get complicated. The mystery aspect was fascinating tying past histories to the present. Clare's gift is unique, and she has finally accepted it and we see growth in her skill. Zack too is gifted, but he stubbornly denies it even as it aids him. Enzo, the happy puppy like ghost dog, is the highlight of the series with his childlike voice weaved with wisdom regarding the spirit world. The "Other" had me curious, and we learn more about them. The mystery was interesting and the reason I did not set this aside.
It all sounds fascinating right? So why only two and half cups of coffee? The main characters. Clare gets herself in situations by not taking Zack's advice. She claims to accept her gift, and then avoids it one moment and is all gung-ho the next. I dismissed this characteristic in the first book because of the way she came into this gift/job but for some reason she annoyed me in Ghost Layer. To her credit towards the end, she did improve immensely. The relationship slowed down which was good, but parts were awkward and weird. It tainted the overall tale for me. I am not sure if I will continue the series I think book three will make it or break it for me. Copy received from publisher and full review at caffeinated book reviewer.

Ghost Layer is the second in the Ghost Seer series and takes up right after the first book, moving the series along nicely. Clare is still grappling with her gift but is enjoying her new relationship with Zach.
Clare Cermak is trying to learn about the ghosts that are now part of her life, she received her seer gift from her great aunt, and when Clare dies it will pass down to her niece Dory. Clare has not been as diligent with her studying as Enzo, her ghost helper, an energetic Labrador, wants her to be but ghosts from her time period (late 1800’s) are not waiting for her to accept things, as they need help now.
Zach Slade is her friend and lover, they have been together for about six weeks, he is an ex cop newly back in the Denver area working for a private investigator. Zach was injured while on duty several months ago and is learning an ancient technique for fighting using a cane called bartitsu, this will help his confidence so he does not feel so inept at times.
Zach’s boss Tony Rickman hires Clare for a case, a wealthy businessman relocated an old mining town to his property, and the bones of a man long dead have been mysteriously appearing in people’s bed. When Clare begins to delve into the mystery, it seems someone does not want her to know the past, putting her in danger.
I like this series and enjoyed this book as much as the first one, Ghost Seer. I did have to remind myself at times about the timeline, this takes place almost immediately after the first one, and not much has changed, Clare is still struggling with her gift, their relationship is still new and tentative and Zach still does not want to deal with either his brother’s murder or his own gift.Read more ›
