Back Cover: Life is tough enough these days for Lydia Smith, licensed Para-archaeologist. Seriously stressed-out from a nasty incident in an alien tomb, she is obliged to work part-time in Shrimpton’s House of Ancient Horrors, a very lowbudget museum. She has a plan to get her career back on track, but it isn’t going well. Stuff keeps happening. Take the dead body that she discovered in one of the sarcophagus exhibits. Who needed that? Finding out that her new client, Emmett London, is one of the most dangerous men in the city isn’t helping matters either. And that’s just today’s list of setbacks. Here in the shadows of the Dead City of old Cadence, things don’t really heat up until After Dark.

This is the first book in the Ghost Hunters series. I was interested in reading more about this world after reading a short story that took place here. But it did take me a little bit of time to find a copy of this book. Lydia has fallen on hard times after an unfortunate incident. She is trying to start her own consulting firm. Emmett is her first client who is looking for a family heirloom. While the two work together they are soon being chased and put in danger. I really liked reading this story. It is more of a good quick story. The two characters seem to want to be together and then keep getting in one another’s way. I can’t wait to read the next story in the series, After Glow.
