FBI Agent Audra Wheeler has been haunted for the last thirteen years by a paranormal attack that left her sister, Kendra, in a coma. Mentored by FBI Assistant Director Jonathan Cordero to investigate crimes committed by specters, Audra believes she is on the trail of a ‘serial killer’ specter with a MO very similar to her sister’s attacker. The investigation takes her to a small town of Specter, Georgia; a haven for ghosts who exist among the living.







Reading American Specter was one of the most exciting journey ever! It wasn't just about paranormal, American Specter was made of several other layers. You love paranormal? Romance? Mystery? Cool heroine and hot male protagonist? It is all there. 

American Specter is about the FBI Agent Audra Wheeler. Several years ago, her adoptive older sister was mysteriously attacked by an invisible criminal and is in coma since then, and now she's determined to help the others by solving cases. Not just that, weirdly, there are several other cases that looked almost exactly like her sister's except the victims were dead. With the help of her ex-partner slash lover and her other comrades Audra is going to end this once and for all. 

It sounded simple right? an FBI Agent solving a murder case, but it's not. The world of American Specter was full of specters also known as, ghosts. These ghosts wasn't here to scare people, the live. Like working on a restaurant or even giving pleasures to their customers! This, is really interesting. I thought the idea was really original, since I've never met something like this. And the way Rasheedah Prioleau manage to mix ghosts and murder mystery that involve FBIs or peoples on that department was amazing! super enjoyable. I'm not going to spoil more, so I'm just going to say that this book is a should-read!

I also find the characters really cool. Audra was strong, not physically, but when you read it you'd see how determined she is. I could picture myself as an intern or someone younger who follows and admires her like a sick puppy. That goes for her comrades too. Everyone had their own interesting personalities. But damn! if only there wasn't that misunderstanding between Audra and her ex-lover, they would be happy! no romance conflict whatsoever.

And a few other points, this book was written in third person. Not really a fan of third person, but ms. Rasheedah writes it good. (I mean the third person is awesome. In case you don't understand what I'm saying, not excellent at English remember?) Awesome! definitely would re-read it sometime in the future! I just looove criminal cases and murder mysteries you know, why else would I play Criminal Case on Facebook? (Contact me if you played it too, we'll definitely be awesome partners ;-))

Rating:
5 EYES OPEN (5/5)
