My Take
This is another story revolving about Hope and Karl only this time they’re in LA with some interaction from the Nast Cabal. Robyn, a human friend of Hope’s, her beloved husband shot 6 months earlier, has moved to LA to act as a publicist to a Paris Hilton-wannabe, Portia, hoping to lose herself in her work. Hope has arrived in LA to help only for the three of them to get caught up in Portia’s murder.
The detective on the case sees ghosts but doesn’t know about the supes. The actual murderer is a psychopathic clairvoyant willing to kill anyone who gets in her way. And there’s a secret community of clairvoyants hoping to stay out of everyone’s way.
Robyn is running like made making stupid decisions, getting people killed, and it’s so frustrating in that neither Hope nor Karl can tell Robyn about the supernaturals around her but it would sure make it easier to protect her!
What is this chick’s problem?? She’s got a phone. She knows who the killer is. Call Finn!!!
And why is it that every woman has to go running off to save the day…jeez, I’m such a hypocrite! Arghhh…
