In My Mailbox

This is a weekly meme hosted by Kristi @ The Story Siren that allows us to reflect on the books we received in the mail in the past week, either because we bought them or they were for review or we won them (doesn't matter as it's always exciting to get a book in the mail), or the ones we picked up at the library.  It's also a great way to check out great books out there in the blogging community.  This is what I picked up this week.

Books for review:

Dead and Kicking (Book 3, Ghost Dusters series)
by Wendy Roberts

Sadie Novak cleans up crime scenes for a living, and often finds herself face-to-face with the dead.  Blessed - or cursed - with the gift of second sight, she can't seem to finish a job without being visited by an earthbound spirit.
