Friday Finds -- 6/12

Happy Friday! My Friday Find for this week is Lust, Loathing, and a Little Lip Gloss by Kyra Davis. I am not sure which blogger reviewed it this week, but after seeing the cover and reading the review, I knew this was my kind of book. Here's the B&N description:

Mystery writer and dabbling recreational sleuth Sophie Katz is head over heels in love—with a three-bedroom Victorian. She's just got to have it, despite a few drawbacks. Her slimy ex is the Realtor. The rich, creepy seller wants her to join San Francisco's spirited Specter Society. And her first tour of the house reveals, well, a lifeless body clutching a cameo with a disturbing history of its own.
There's no way Sophie is going to give up the ghost on her dreams of stained glass and original woodwork, though—even when things become officially weird. A Society member is found with a slashed throat, and Sophie's house might as well be yelling, "GET…OUT!" She's hearing footsteps, lights are turning themselves off and her stuff keeps moving inexplicably. To top it off, boyfriend Anatoly thinks it's all in her head.
Sophie is 99 percent sure her problems are caused by someone six feet tall instead of six feet under, but the only way to be sure is to track down the killer—before he pushes her kicking and screaming to the other side…


I also realized that this is a series, so I am going to hunt down a copy of the first volume to read over this raining weekend. What did you find this week? (Want to play along? Go to Should Be Reading.)
