Grace, the lead character, can "hear" what living animals tell her, and she can communicate with them- which makes her an Animal Communicator (not a medium). As someone who communicates with pets who passed, I gave this book a try and I enjoyed the series. The "Monkey" book is 4th in the series, so I need to go back and read the other three.
The characters were interesting and captivating- especially Grace and her Jacksonville, Florida police officer boyfriend Kai. Her sister Emma is also a good supporting character in the book. But the character I enjoyed the most was Belinda, a New Orleans tarot-reading drag queen that ran her own B and B.
The story was a bit odd to figure because someone hired Grace to find a woman by having Grace communicate with the missing woman's cat... but the person who hired Grace turned out to be someone she needed to be wary of... and it all lead to an odd twist about people hunting psychics...
I enjoyed the book and the characters, but I need to go back and read the others books that precede book four. 4 stars!
