Publisher Description
Nell Ingram faces a dark magic with no known origin in the newest pulse-pounding paranormal procedural in the New York Times bestselling Soulwood series.
Nell is a rookie PsyLED agent, using the powers she can channel from deep within the earth to solve paranormal crimes. Together with her team, she's taken on the direst magic and the most twisted foes. But she'll need to tap into every ounce of power she has for her newest case.
Nell is called to the Tennessee mansion of a country music star and finds a disturbing scene—dead bodies rapidly decaying before everyone's eyes. The witch on her team, T. Laine, has never seen magic that can steal life forces like this. PsyLED needs to find this lethal killer fast. But when a paranormal-hating FBI agent tries to derail the investigation, and the dark magics begin to spiral out of control, they find themselves under attack from all sides.

The Kind of Story You Hate to Finish

Magic. Just re-read last 2 chapters for the 5th time.
Sadly disappointing.
I loved the first book in this series as a completely fresh take in fantasy worlds. Sadly, the freshness has steadily declined with each addition to the series and has hit rock bottom in this book. The quality of the writing and editing is far below what we expect from this author with excessive repetition and a lot of excess wordage to fill pages with a minimal plot.
