Synopsis (Goodreads):
Eric Vause is done.Thoughts on The Grave Robber: Eric was aiming for a relaxing vacation, but that wasn't in the cards. Instead he has the usual talkative ghost, a life or two he has to save, and a lady who very much needs his help even though she doesn't want to pull him into her issues.
Done with ghosts. Done with hellhounds. And definitely done with asshole demons, mostly because he’d been possessed by one. Even now, five years later, the rage he absorbed from the creature has yet to wane, so he decides a road trip is in order. Surely some cool air, great scenery, and a case of Dos Equis will shake things loose. Unfortunately, supernatural events happen everywhere. When he meets up with a friend whose partner’s daughter needs help with a pest problem—aka, a ghost—Eric takes that as his cue to leave.
Until he sees her.
He can tell Halle’s house isn’t the only thing that is haunted. The hopelessness behind her eyes tugs at something deep inside him. Something all too familiar. The fact that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen has nothing to do with his change of heart. And he vows to leave her in his rearview the minute he takes care of the poltergeist. Then again, vows were never his strong suit.
Man, Charley's crew end up in some odd (sometimes even not supernatural) situations.
As for Eric, the guy needs a break. He knows he can't save everyone and even if he manages to warn them of any future danger/shenanigans, it doesn't mean they'll listen. So he's attempting to lie low and enjoy the calm moments as they come. That said, his buddy has an issue that only someone of Eric's particular skill set can handle. Which does NOT thrill Eric since he's, you know, on vacation.
As it turns out, the big guy can't walk away like he thought he could when someone is in danger. Soon he's looking at the evidence being given to him to support a possible haunting and falling for the lady in the middle of it all.
As for Halle, she's a mess. Harried for years by unexplained occurrences, yet nobody believes her, she's at her breaking point. She might believe Eric has the ability to help her, but she doesn't want to drag him into the danger. Which, really, isn't going to stop Eric one way or the other.
A little investigating, a frantic car ride across town, hidden secrets, a man who can't abandon a person who needs him, and a lady who knows who she wants when she sees him. MAN, I like spending time in Charley's world!
