That’s when we are confident he’s something more than we can or will ever be. Whether he’s sharing some of the banalities of his former job as a detective with the CPD, or worrying about homeownership, or trying to figure out how best to tidy up the cannery, we’re given the chance to commiserate with him in a way we’re incapable of doing when he takes us along on a ghost encounter and exorcism. There are moments when it’s good to be reminded that maybe Vic is like us. Never fear, though, there’s still plenty of death and ghosts in these pages because, after all, this is the life and times of a powerful medium and his partner, now husband, who is so much more than just a Stiff. That between novels, Castillo Price has also managed to compose numerous short stories and novellas that give readers a glimpse into the more, shall we say, mundane goings-on in Victor Bayne’s and Jacob Marks’ otherwise esoteric lives is nothing less than a gift to those of us who anticipate every moment we’re given with these characters. Review: The sheer volume of words Jordan Castillo Price has dedicated to the Ps圜op series over the years is incredible, impressive, always nothing less than impeccable, not to mention much appreciated by readers who love the series and its characters. Spring – Dead Zone, Honey Do, Impostor Syndrome, Tie the Knot Winter – Roadside Resistance, Don’t Sweat It, Cold Case, Can’t Take It With You, Holiday Cheer Summer – Last Resort, Potato Potahto, To the Letter, The Perfect Storm, The Grass is Always Greenerįall – On the Ball, Treat Me Right, Sticker Shock, One Bad Apple It then cycles through each season, highlighting various moments in the series with laughs, scares, tender domestic scenes, and of course, ghosts-then circles around to Other Half again. This all-new, novel length collection begins right where Ps圜op 12, Other Half, left off, with Vic and Jacob’s honeymoon. Seasons: Ps圜op Briefs, Volume 2 contains four novelettes and fourteen short stories. Vic and Jacob and the world of Ps圜ops will always be welcome in my world.īlurb: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night…will keep a Ps圜op from his duty. Then there are some characters and series that should stick around for a long, long while yet. There are some characters and series it becomes evident it’s time say goodbye to. They’re set at various points throughout the history of the series, which means traveling back in time to recall the many things Vic and Jacob have been through over the course of their thirteen years together. At a Glance: There is a certain sentimentality to reading these Ps圜op vignettes.
