\"Perilous<\/a>Perilous Things by Elizabeth Andre<\/b><\/span> is a cozy mystery starring the members of the Paranormal Grievance Committee.<\/p>\n

Lily is unhappy that her girlfriend Maya continues to commune with ghosts despite the bad physical effects. Penny runs into a roadblock in her relationship with Jess. Eddie and Steve are married but continue to bicker about perceived threats and old boyfriends. Lily\u2019s little brother Jason suddenly becomes the most attractive man in the world and can have any woman he wants.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just another day in the life of the Paranormal Grievance Committee, except that the mystical mayhem is hitting really close to home and threatens everyone\u2019s life and happiness unless they find a way to stop it.<\/p>\n

Writing<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are a lot of characters to follow in the fourth book of the Paranormal Grievance Committee series, giving the story a lot of angles to explore and follow. At first some of the stories seem unconnected but when they do converge it turns into a sometimes heavy hitting thriller. These haunts are not for the faint of heart. Of note are the scene transitions, which are a little different than normal and amps the thrill angle a bit.<\/p>\n

Pros And My Favourite Parts<\/b><\/h3>\n

What seems a bit of a cozy mystery quickly becomes a dangerous game to people directly and indirectly involved. When the team itself is threatened, the threat feels very real with an edge of the seat thrill. Along the way the story takes some surprising turns so the reader is always a bit off balance. I had not read the first three books but I felt very comfortable with the characters and enjoyed reading some well done sleuthing that required a small amount of daring do.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed the surrealistic quality of some of the passages as the author follows characters under a vicious spell. Events that might not make sense otherwise become believable and maintains a fun tension. I also enjoyed the diversity of the characters, with queer couples both female and male among the cast. This is not a romance in the sense that it\u2019s about people finding love, but an emphasis on the paranormal story with a sneaky and powerful adversary.<\/p>\n

Heads Up<\/b><\/h3>\n

Some magically induced dangers.<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is the fourth book in the Paranormal Grievance Committee Chronicles, so the characters are set by this installment. I had little trouble catching up with all of them and the idea of the PGC, which made it easy to get caught up in the mystical dangers the group deals with this time around. The dangers are almost comical on the surface but serious and nasty in their execution. The romance angle is very understated in this book, though there is a bit of angst to be worked through.<\/p>\n

Excerpt from <\/b><\/span>Perilous Things by Elizabeth Andre<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cWhy you lookin\u2019 so serious, Rosalie?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosalie was jolted out of her thoughts by Henry Sandler, one of her favorite residents at the care center. He was an elderly man with surprisingly thick snowy white hair. He was a bit stooped and used a cane. She returned his smile and saw that he was in line with other residents to get on the bus that would take them to a local casino.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t waste all your money on one table, Mr. Sandler,\u201d she said. Blackjack was his game.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, you know how it is. If a table gets hot, I stay there. Better odds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another man in line sneered. \u201cIt\u2019s all rigged. Hot tables. Better odds. It\u2019s all kiddie fairytales.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho asked you, killjoy?\u201d Henry said, heated.<\/p>\n

Rosalie sighed. Henry and this other man, Tony Garrett, had what would be described, if they were teenage girls, as a \u201cfrenemy\u201d relationship. They relished the opportunity to bait each other. If they were younger, Rosalie thought, some of their arguments might have become physical.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides,\u201d Henry continued, \u201cwhy are you coming if it\u2019s all rigged?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony shrugged. \u201cIt amuses me when you rub that little coin of yours while you\u2019re playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henry waved a dismissive hand at Tony. \u201cShut up.\u201d Rosalie said,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat coin, Mr. Garrett? Do you have a lucky coin, Mr. Sandler?\u201d This could be a clue to explain her newfound luck.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does. He takes it out of his pocket and rubs it between his thumb and index finger when he\u2019s playing.\u201d Tony enthusiastically mimicked the movement with his hands. \u201cRight before he tells the dealer to stay or to hit him. Like it\u2019s magic. Hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n
