Publisher's summary

All Pyper Rayne - medium and coffee shop owner - wanted was the perfect vintage dress. What she got was a dead shop owner and a sexy ghost who's suddenly everywhere - at her shop, in her car, and even lounging in her bedroom. But he's not just any ghost. He's a witch and able to appear in solid form...sometimes. If only he'd stop disappearing on her.

And Pyper needs his help. When she becomes target numero uno and the prime suspect in the shop owner's death, it appears her ghost holds the key to solving the murder. In between stolen kisses, Pyper will need to get to the bottom of all of his secrets if she wants to stay alive and out of jail...and maybe finally get that date he keeps promising her.

new spin off from Deanna Chase

***I would like to thank Deanna Chase for providing me with “Spirits, Stilettos, and a Silver Bustier” for free, for my honest review***

Deanna Chase created a spin off series about Pyper Rayne that we first met in Jade Calhoun series. We get to see Pyper in a different light and watch what happens when spirits show up. Pyper has accepted her powers and works to be certain things are taken care of. We do get to see Ida May (she is my personal favorite ghost) and a special man in Pyper’s life. We follow alongside on Pyper’s adventure. You will be hooked just like me and can't wait for more.

Gabra did a wonderful job getting different voices and tones while narrating. Pyper was not as husky as I would have thought. However, that didn't change the entertainment I had listening this for my very first audio book. I was glad to hear a woman voice since it was in Pyper’s point of view. I read simultaneously while listening. I was able to pause when needed and it starts right back where it was left off. I didn't even notice if there was a mixup in words or not, being too engrossed with the written words of Deanna spoken by Gabra.

What little shopping with a mix of Murder mystery!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is first book as spin off from Jade Calhoun series she wrote Gebra Zackman has great voice!

Pyper becomes a medium (see Jade Calhoun series) with her gallery opening coming up Jade and her to find perfect dress, she found one she just loved but the price was insane, but after lunch she just has to have it when they go back to shop they find owner dead in back of shop, and cops of course point finger at her, With help of one sexy Ghost Julius who died back in 1924 trying protect a seer only to fail Julius was witch when he lived now he can be solid or ghostly with his inherent powers, with time running out a charge hanging over her head they work together find real culprit. As time runs out Julius fears past where he failed will repeat itself and he will lose Pyper. Witch they chase uses other people life force 2 mortals with no power 1 witch/seer/telepath/medium/or empath life force. When it all comes to a boil.......

Not telling you have to listen or read or both to find out what happens! There big twist and huge surprise to all.

1st audible book

I read this book before I tried audible for the 1st time. it was even better the second time. A thriller every step of the way. I love the Jade Calhoun series, but the Pyper Raines series has a humorous and snarky undertone about it. I can't wait to listen to book #2!

Ghostly friends, coffee and murder...sign me up!!

If you could sum up Spirits, Stilettos, and a Silver Bustier in three words, what would they be?

Spirits, Coffee, Murder

What did you like best about this story?

The interaction between Pyper and her friends, both solid and ghostly.

Have you listened to any of Gabra Zackman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have heard a couple of other performances by Gabra and I think she is wonderful. She is very versatile, and has great pronunciation. She also knows how to keep good rhythm while narrating.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not just one. I was moved by the power of her friendships and how close she is with them, more like family.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this book. I am starting the next book in the series tomorrow.

Nothing like Amazing NOLA Fantasy!

I adore the Urban Paranormal World created by Ms. Chase. This series is a wonderful addition to the other worlds she has already created. Those connected and those not yet connected!

GOOD START TO NEW SERIES

Interesting plot with a ghost and a psychic. Good storyline with some previous characters involved. Intrigues and magics helped make the book exciting though there were some scenes that were irritating. The heroine jumped to conclusions without more thought against the hero which might I find rather annoying at times. Otherwise quite good. Well written and well narrated/performed by Gabra Zackman.

Great!

paranormal, NOLA, ghosts, supernatural, suspense, murder, Whispersync, friendship

One of those Can't Put It Down Until I Find Out What Happens Next books. Lots of action, plot twists, and suspense, all set in one of my favorite places to be. With supportive friends both living and ghost, Pyper works to solve the murders done by a witch/serial killer and winds up in jail, fighting for her own life, and trying to sort out her relationship with a living ghost, while running her coffee shop and advance her career as a very unusual artist.
