Don’t make tacos sexual for me. Please. You’ve already ruined spaghetti.

So far, this series continues to be super entertaining. I felt like the execution of the mystery aspect was a bit  weaker compared to the first book, with that part of the book dragging a bit now and then. But all the other aspects of the story firmly held my interest.

My main reason for picking up the series was the fact it follows the same couple throughout, and so far it delivers exactly what I’ve been looking for. I loved seeing the continued developments in Rain and Danny’s relationship. Their banter got lots of affectionate laughs out of me, just like Rain’s occasionally dramatic personal insights on how he views the  whole thing. Ir was fun to see how on one hand, yeah, they’ve sure learned the lessons from the previous book, but on the other hand, they’ve still got trouble when it comes to talking about things in plain words—though now it’s somewhat different trouble with different reasons. The emotional journey they’re on is occasionally frustrating, but ultimately believable and gratifying.

I also really like how the relationship arc is intertwined with Rain’s personal arc. When it comes to the romance, he and Danny have both committed to making it work, but they need to learn to actually operate as a couple. And when it comes to Rain's personal journey of accepting himself as a medium/bridge, it’s much the same: yeah, he’s decided he’s not going to ignore this part of himself any longer, but actually coming to terms with it? Now that’s a whole separate trip. And then there were the moments when these two plot threads didn’t just mirror each other but actively tangled, leading to all those scenes with ghosts interfering with personal moments—often in ways both hilarious and disturbing. I enjoyed reading some of those parts a lot.

Definitely excited to continue further with the series!
