I think as far as sequels go, this one smashed it out of the park! The Accidental Medium has fast become one of my favourite series and it has such a delight of humour and paranormal elements. One other thing I will say about the series is that it goes in different directions with each book. This one took Tanz out of her comfort zone on so many different levels and was mainly set in another country, away from her solid and reliable friends, Sheila, her cat, Inka and all that was known and comforting to her. I missed her community as I find them awesome, but this book was fantastic in a way that she grew while being in a different place and she can easily go back to that location and the 'norm' in the next book.

This is the first book of the series that I read instead of listened to and while I sorely missed Tracy Whitwell's narration, I could hear Tanz in my head in her glorious broad Geordie and it was very good to read too. Anyone that hasn't heard the audio book versions of these should get on those. Right. Now!

Tanz made new friends in this book as well as meeting some duds and she grew her talent in a way that she couldn't have done unless forced out on her own, with no power, cut off from communications and being force fed revolting rotting shark... 
This book meant a lot more on a spiritual level and I think that this, along with the normal wow factor and swear word frequency made it a winner. I think Tanz is the refreshingly honest, best friend that you never knew you were missing until you are introduced through these books. 5 Stars from me!

My huge thanks to Netgalley, Pan Macmillan and the fabulous Tracy Whitwell for the opportunity to read this ARC. All opinions are my own.
