It says a lot when you can't get through more than 20 pages of a book. The premise is really interesting; the writing? Sucks. It's in first person and reads like a 15 year old and not a 20-something year old. I tried to stick with it but I just couldn't, which is a shame because I was looking forward to this book. ( )

Zoe can travel astrally, out of her body. She hires herself and her talent out and it's a pretty good moneymaker that's gained her at least one devoted client. Until one day she seems something weird in the astral plane, someone else who seems to be able to do what she does. Only that someone else commits murder and knows Zoe was a witness. ( )

I absolutely loved Wraith and Zoe, she is reckless, irreverent and funny and I'm kicking myself for waiting do long to read it! How can you not love a heroine who admits she's not the brightest bulb in the sign? One who talks to herself and has the unfortunate tendency to let her mouth run away with her at the worst moments.

Zoe is operating blind, when it comes to her ability or the paranormal world. Most of what she has learned comes from trial and error and she often takes stupid risks, but since she doesn't know anything about Travellers, she has no other way except to throw herself into dangerous situations in an attempt to discover the truth about her own abilities and the paranormal world she finds herself in, despite being out of her depth on more than one occasion.

Zoe often finds herself relying on family and friends for support and information though she is hesitant about putting them in danger. Her mother, Nona seems to know more than she is letting on about Zoe's abilities and the paranormal, and misguidedly thinks she is protecting her by keeping her in the dark.

Phaedra Weldon deftly draws you into Zoe's world until you are completely sucked in and leaves you wanting more. The first book is a great start to the series and I've immediately ordered the second one, I can't wait to discover more about the can of paranormal worms opened in Wraith. ( )

Horrible. One star is too much. ( )

Zoë Martinique spies on people for a living. Need information? Zoë can get it in a unique way – astral projection. In six years as a Traveler, Zoë never met another person on the astral plane. Zoë takes a break from a ho-hum assignment when a feeling leads her to Atlanta's Bank of America where Zoë witnesses a murder. Seconds later, Zoë realizes the murderer is also a Traveler, although unlike Zoë, he can interact with physical objects. After a harrowing escape, Zoë overhears the victim’s boss try to warn off the investigating officer, Lieutenant Daniel Frasier, saying the murderer is beyond justice. As she helps Frasier hunt the killer with her collection of odd friends, Zoë learns about her powers and about entities she never dreamed existed. It’ll be up to Zoë to save the innocent and stop the evil of both humans and spirits. Zoë’s 4th investigation, Revenant, was released in 2010.
