"There are things that go bump in the night, Mr. MacMillian. It's my job to bump back." Private detective Jesper MacMillian is sure he's seen it all. Following a long recovery after a horrific accident, his life is finally the way he wants it- or at least, close enough. The only monsters on his radar are the ones that keep him awake at night. When a grief-stricken couple begs him to find their lost son, it seems like just another day at the office. Lena Alan is your friendly neighborhood medium. She sees ghosts, she talks to ghosts, and when necessary, she keeps them from interfering in the world of the living. A city like San Francisco has more than enough ghosts to keep her busy, but a shocking visitation puts her on a collision course with MacMillian and his newest case. Before MacMillian can brace for impact, Lena drags him into a world where monsters aren't just real, they're hiding in plain sight. A deadly threat is lurking in San Francisco's dangerous underbelly, and it's going to take both of them to put it down. For Lena, it's another day at the office. For MacMillian, it's the beginning of the end of everything he thinks he knows.

Review "I haven't read a book this well written in a long while." (Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock)"The characters are real and gritty. Throw in the paranormal aspect with ghosts and BAM! It's fantastic!" (Dowie's Place)"I recommend A World Apart to readers who like books with ghosts, witches, and necromancers mixed with private investigation and a little romance." (Books That Hook)

Good story, great writting style By stefy66000 Rating: 3,5-4/5>In this story you have two worlds with their codes and beliefs that collide (You can even said three, if you add the world of ‘normal’ lambda human).On one side, you have Jesper MacMillian, a private detective, still adjusting to the loss of his leg and his brother, who is trying to avoid the inheritance of his family. He is a rom, appointed to take his grandfather’s place as the King, but refusing and rejecting that part of his life. At the beginning of the story, we get a glimpse of the communitarianism of the rom and I hope we will see more of it in the future books.On the other side, you have Lena Alan. She is a strong, funny heroine. She is a medium that can talk to ghosts and help them to leave our plan. I really liked what we saw of the witches’ community. It’s a secret community apart from the normal world (rather similar to the roms in a way) that keeps the ‘normal’ humans safe from everything that “bump in the night”.Then one day, a rom, excluded from his community, is killed. While the ghost seeks Lena for help, the parents of Jimmy (the victim) go to Jesper to find their missing son. And then, Lena and Jesper met.During the investigations, we met Mark Durban, a police detective.As a whole, I really liked this story. It’s really well written and made you wish you don’t have to put it down until the very last sentence. In fact, I read it in one sitting, that prove how good and engaging the story and the style were for me. :) When I started to read I was really excited and if I had to rate for the first parts and most of the rest to the end of the book, it would have been a five stars. There is just something in the middle that Lena did that just froze my poor little “Fleur Bleue” (sentimental, romantic) heart. But it’s just me. In a way, it made her more real I suppose, I just didn’t like it.(Don't read between the spoiler marks to avoid it)Lena is instantly attracted to Durban upon meeting him. Jesper warned her to not trust him but she just became angry and went ahead. While I could have easily accept the dating of someone else than the hero it wasn’t real dating here. It was just a drink and jump in bed. From what feelings I had of the character of Lena that just didn’t seem to fit. I didn’t see her as someone sleeping around with the first man that cross her path she is attract to. I was really disappointed but read that scene waiting for the stop or something happening for it to not happen but no, they had sex. I had to force myself to not skip ahead each time the Durban guy was in the same room as Lena after that. That’s where the story lost 1.5 star.As a whole either way, I really recommend the story.This book is the first part of a series. While the bad guy pays for his crimes in the end, don’t expect the 'happy ending' between the heroes. It will probably come in the future books. A WORLD APART contains a couple of scenes not suitable for children. Mature audience only.*~I received this book for free in exchange for a honest review.~*

And it was there that I fell in love with her winning personality. And at that very facebook party, I won this very book. And when I did, I instantly ask her, can I please do an interview and review of her, and she said she would be honored. So here it is!First, I want to say, I couldn’t put it down. But I have that problem with a lot of books, especially if they are well written, and something along a topic I like. And this was one of them. Paranormal romance, where the world can take you just about anywhere.Lena Alan is a medium and Jesper Mac Millian is a private detective that Lena ends up dragging into her life where she can feel, see, and sense things from the other side.Lena knows there is something about to be happening in San Francisco. And she knows she just can’t handle it alone. A recent case has led her to find a missing child named Jimmy, and what better way to find the missing, than with a P.I.What you end up learning about Jesper is that he has lost his leg and his brother in his past. And the part I like best, though, is that Jes has no problem taking on ghosts. He accepts them with no problems, unlike the rest of the world. Jesper himself, is quite a unique person.But the part of this story that really threw me, is the character Mark Durban. He seems to not want Mark and Lena to work together, and even Lena suspects something but can’t quite figure it out.The book ends as a cliff hanger, but that is meant to lead you into the upcoming book.If you have ever watched the TV Show “The Medium” starring “Patricia Arquette” who plays the starring role as Allison Dubois, you will end up recalling and even missing that show. I end up picturing Lena as Patricia and Jesper as “David Cubitt” who played the ever sexy Lee Scanlon.I found this book very intriguing, and I enjoyed every little minute of it. It was more than the average paranormal romance, it is also a mystery thriller too. I give this book: “A World Apart (Shades Below #1)” to be a definite five star book. If you haven’t read it yet, it’s a book that will surely keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more!

The paranormal world of ghosts in a whole new light! A unique take on how spirits remain around us and what it could mean if you can see them. A lot of this book is based on getting MacMillian to learn and believe in the paranormal and the rest is getting Lena to save the day, as well as herself. Because spirits are needing help, but it could also harm a lot of live people in the process. :)Lene is freaking hilarious! Her comments, out loud, about testosterone, and crazy snarky things she says made me absolutely love this book. She is this tiny little thing of a girl is a bad ass. She knows her way around the spirit world, and she also knows her way around the tea world as well. She's got a little magic up her sleeve and she's one of the coolest heroines I've ever read.Jesper MacMillian is a gypsy, who is also a private investigator. He doesn't want his Romany King status, so he his trying to keep busy with his investigation business, which leads him to Lena. Who blows his ever loving mind. I LOVED IT. He was constantly surprised and then who have to rethink his whole thought process. And I also think he has a crush on Lena, but he's too prideful or stubborn or whatever to tell her. I seriously hope book two gives me something between them! And he's got his own trouble, with an accident, and a loss, so maybe that has a little to do with his holding back.There's some great side characters. A priest, a knight, Lena's brother, the cop Durbin. I really enjoyed the plot. A little mystery, with some paranormal aspects. Some great run arounds and scary ghostly possessions. With a side of zombie! I can't wait for book two. The writing was great and this is a wonderful start to a new series! 5 Ghostly PAWS!!
