Where There's Smoke by Jodi Picoult
3.0
Serenity has always had a gift to see and converse with those that have passed over. As a child she might not have realised that not all people can see them but as an adult a lot has changed. Mainly the fact she has made a living off her gift. Only on her terms though, so that's likely to bite her in the butt sooner rather than later.
She has people guarding her on both planes – whether real or metaphysical. Lucinda and Desmond are there to act as go betweens with other ghosts trying to chat. She relies on them a lot but once frustrated will learn not to take people – real or ghost – for granted.
After a difficult reading from a military vet she gets a bit of a fiery friend for a while. Can't help when her next reading is more of a search to find someone. When voices from the other side go quiet her luck may be running out.
Interesting read that draws you along but it felt a little rushed even though only a short story. Just when you felt it was finishing off one story thread it kind of just ended without explaining everything. Leaving you wanting more or just a little confused? Well perhaps a bit of both but ok as a quick read.
