I live in SW Florida and we were on pins and needles for a bit to know whether or not hurricane Dorian was going to affect us (fortunately we were spared). The story has Myrtle Beach waiting for a big storm and the effect that it has on ghosts in the area. It was kind of fitting that I listened to The Rising during the first week of September. Brice does a great job of giving you information from the previous books that is pertinent to the story. While I love reading/listening to series in order I think I would have been OK if I had just jumped in at book 2 because Ms. Book one is about the beginning of their relationship and a pretty rocky beginning it was.īooks 1.5 and 2 focus on cases that they end up getting involved in. All three of these books are about the same couple, Simon Kincaide (a psychic medium) and his boyfriend, Vic D’Amato (a homicide cop). The stories each grabbed me right from the beginning and didn’t want to let go. Morgan Brice’s writing style flowed well for me. Kale Williams performance of the stories was great these are the first audiobooks of his that I’ve listened to. All I can say is I’m really glad to have listened to all of them. So, over the last few days I’ve binge listened to The Badlands series – #1 Badlands, #1.5 Lucky Town and #2 The Rising.
So, when a review copy of the audiobook of The Rising was offered, I was happy to agree to listen to and review it.īut The Rising is book two in the series and I wanted to read or listen to the other books first.
But earlier this summer I was offered the chance to review a copy of another book of hers (Treasure Trail) and I loved it. In all honesty, I didn’t really think I would care for urban fantasy/paranormal stories. I’m a newcomer to Morgan Brice’s writing. As Simon tries to reach out to the spirits of the murdered men to help the investigation, he's attacked by malicious ghosts that don't want anyone getting in the way of their long-overdue vengeance. Simon's premonition confirms Vic's gut feeling-the killing is just getting started. Rough tides wash the wreck of an old pirate ship into shallow waters, high winds threaten to damage an old mansion with a dark past, and the citizens of the beach town hunker down to ride out the storm.Īs the skies grow dark and the sea turns wild, several men from prominent local families end up dead under suspicious circumstances. Psychic medium Simon Kincaide and his sexy cop boyfriend, homicide detective Vic D'Amato, have their hands full helping the Grand Strand brace for rough surf, driving rain, and high winds as a winter storm roars toward shore.Įveryone's on edge, and rumors are rampant about sightings of Blackcoat Benny, a ghostly omen of danger, and worse, the Gallows Nine, the spirits of nine infamous criminals hanged back in the 1700s, a harbinger of disaster.
A big storm is brewing, there's a killer on the loose, and the ghosts of Myrtle Beach are restless.
