Summary
Not the only psychos in town。。。
Falling for the ghosts of murdered gangsters who were your imaginary friends once upon a time？ I'll admit it's a little unusual。 But they're back and totally real， and it's hard to argue with their admittedly obsessive level of devotion。
Unfortunately， their violent dedication isn't enough to bring down the powerful man who hurt my little sister。 I have to take matters into my own hands。 I just wish I had a better grip on this marshy magic I've discovered in myself。
If that wasn't enough to deal with， the guys are stirring up trouble both in their search for their long-ago murderers and the pasts of the hosts they've taken over。 Trouble that's arrived with guns blazing。 And I've still got that gaping blank in my memory。
My past holds more secrets than I know。 They just might shatter every hope I have of a happily ever after。
*Criminal Spirits is the second book in a darkly humorous new paranormal romance series by bestselling author Eva Chase。 If you love sarcastic heroines with unexpected powers， obsessive supernatural men who'll do anything to defend their woman， and plenty of mystery and mayhem， dive right in！*

This second book is better than the first， as Lily and her men are back for more action and danger。 The storyline is entertaining， and secrets to be found， plans to be made， and surviving。 I can't wait for more I received this book， as a FREE ARC and I voluntarily leave this review。 This second book is better than the first， as Lily and her men are back for more action and danger。 The storyline is entertaining， and secrets to be found， plans to be made， and surviving。 I can't wait for more I received this book， as a FREE ARC and I voluntarily leave this review。 。。。more

Creative story with lots of twistsI love ghost stories， and this one does not disappoint。 There are a variety of threats surrounding the guys and our main character， Lily。 She has really stepped up from being timid in the first book， to now she is feeling the power inside of her and is not going to put up with bullies anymore。 The guys are a little rough around the edges but since they had been dead for over 20 years that is a part of their personalities that was really well done。 And yes there Creative story with lots of twistsI love ghost stories， and this one does not disappoint。 There are a variety of threats surrounding the guys and our main character， Lily。 She has really stepped up from being timid in the first book， to now she is feeling the power inside of her and is not going to put up with bullies anymore。 The guys are a little rough around the edges but since they had been dead for over 20 years that is a part of their personalities that was really well done。 And yes there is plenty of heat in this installment， that is well done too。 I really have enjoyed reading this fun， mysterious steamy romp， but you must start from book one， this is book two， and there is more yet to come。 I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed。 。。。more

Pre-read thoughts （12/15/21）: I am dying to get to this！ I have one more big exam before I can dive into this。 I know it's only been about a month since I read the first one but I can't wait to get back into this world。 I pray this is cliff hanger less because those always destroy me。 Pre-read thoughts （12/15/21）: I am dying to get to this！ I have one more big exam before I can dive into this。 I know it's only been about a month since I read the first one but I can't wait to get back into this world。 I pray this is cliff hanger less because those always destroy me。 。。。more

There are plenty of rumours about Lily， but what is the truth about what happened years ago？ And will her men Nox， Ruin， Jett and Kai be a help or will their rough ways hinder？ Can she protect her sister （Marisol）？ I enjoyed exploring what happened in the past to them， the danger/mystery of their tale， and I look forward to what happens next。I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received， and giving my thoughts and opinions on it。

Frogtastic 😉This series is so different from anything else I've read before and I'm loving it！ 😍 In book 2， I loved how Lily's confidence was like waves， cresting and crashing。 Just as she builds up， something tears her down and she's gotta start all over again。 But she doesn't let it stop her。Some of the secrets start to unravel， we learn more about the boys past lives and some of the mysteries of their stolen ones， there's some action and thrills， and as always， there's no disappointment in th Frogtastic 😉This series is so different from anything else I've read before and I'm loving it！ 😍 In book 2， I loved how Lily's confidence was like waves， cresting and crashing。 Just as she builds up， something tears her down and she's gotta start all over again。 But she doesn't let it stop her。Some of the secrets start to unravel， we learn more about the boys past lives and some of the mysteries of their stolen ones， there's some action and thrills， and as always， there's no disappointment in the steam department。 Can't wait for Grave Misconduct！ 😍 I suspect there will be a whole lot of butt kicking going on in that one。 😁 。。。more

This one is even better than the first book， I loved the way the story gained lots more depth in this one as Lily learns what really happened before she was sent to the asylum。 More depth too for her romance with her ghouls。 Some very funny scenes， and some hot ones too。 Great read。

This book is different than the first of this series but we do learn a lot in its pages！ We get to know the Skullbreakers and their ‘ghostly’ powers as well as follow Lily on her search for knowledge。 The story flows a little slower but the details fill in many， but not all， of the voids we have encountered so far。 I like how the tale has unfolded and am extremely curious to see where she takes us next。

I loved the premise of this series and book 2 delivers。 We get some answers but so many more questions show up as we travel deeper into what is going on in this town。 I enjoyed these characters， each with their own insecurities， but as a team the Skullbreakers bring out each individual's best。 I am can barely wait to get my hands on the rest of the stories。 We are half way and all the possibilites are running through my head。 I am eager to find out what is really going on。I received an advanced I loved the premise of this series and book 2 delivers。 We get some answers but so many more questions show up as we travel deeper into what is going on in this town。 I enjoyed these characters， each with their own insecurities， but as a team the Skullbreakers bring out each individual's best。 I am can barely wait to get my hands on the rest of the stories。 We are half way and all the possibilites are running through my head。 I am eager to find out what is really going on。I received an advanced copy of this story and am voluntarily leaving my honest review。 。。。more

Lily and her men are back for more action and danger as things heat up。 Besides Lily and her men getting closer to each other， they have to deal with everything else going on。 There were secrets to be found， plans to be made， and the usual surviving it all。 I found it addicting and fun to read especially with the surprises along the way。 Hot and entertaining and a bit dangerous。

This book is a bit slower than the first book， but I really enjoyed the story。 We get a bit more of an idea of what is going on behind the scenes with why Lily was sent to the mental institution and why everyone seems to be afraid to talk about it。 The ending has me really intrigued and it adds a new element to the story that I was not necessarily expecting， specifically with what Lily's birthmark means。 This book is a bit slower than the first book， but I really enjoyed the story。 We get a bit more of an idea of what is going on behind the scenes with why Lily was sent to the mental institution and why everyone seems to be afraid to talk about it。 The ending has me really intrigued and it adds a new element to the story that I was not necessarily expecting， specifically with what Lily's birthmark means。 。。。more

Lily had fallen for the ghosts of murdered gangsters who had once been her imaginary friends which she admits is unusual。 But they are now back devoted to her and very much real。 However， their violence is not enough to bring down the powerful man who hurt her little sister Marisol。 So she decides to take matters into her own hands even though she does not yet have a better grip on her own marsh magic。 The guys are also stirring up trouble in their search for their original murderers as well as Lily had fallen for the ghosts of murdered gangsters who had once been her imaginary friends which she admits is unusual。 But they are now back devoted to her and very much real。 However， their violence is not enough to bring down the powerful man who hurt her little sister Marisol。 So she decides to take matters into her own hands even though she does not yet have a better grip on her own marsh magic。 The guys are also stirring up trouble in their search for their original murderers as well as the pasts of the hosts they have taken over - something that has arrived with guns blazing。 Lily still has a gap in her memories and he knows that her past holds secrets that might shatter every hope she has of a happily ever afterThis was definitely a dramatic story that had me hooked as Lily tried to find out what she could about the man who featured so much in her memories around her sister。 I loved the relationship she had with the gangsters and the way they were so protective and caring of her。 The powerful man is definitely evil and I have no idea how they are going to defeat him。 It was easy to get swept away in the story and to become fully invested in Lily and her men。 Easy to read， feel and understand。 Contains explicit sexual content。I received a free review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review 。。。more
