"Heart, adventure, and buckets of wonder." --Julie Czerneda, author of the Reunification Trilogy The Reckoners (Author's Cut): A powerful ghostbuster raised by a spirit, her brilliantly eccentric backup team, a cat who isn't a cat at all...and a fiercely driven bounty hunter from a different dimension who brings them together when worlds collide. Skilled ghosthunter Lisa "Garrie" McGarrity not only sees dead people, she wrangles them into submission. But her beloved ghostly mentor moved on years ago, and the Southwest has gone quiet under Garrie's hand. Garrie and her team have grown restless and...well, face it. Maybe willing to take a risk or two. So when the relentlessly mysterious and fiercely driven Trevarr (and his not-cat!) shows up asking for help, Garrie is inclined to listen. And when he describes big trouble at the San Jose Winchester Mystery House, she's inclined to go with him, even if it splits her team along the way. But she doesn't expect a mansion crammed with spirits on the brink of madness, and she doesn't expect to face off against the powerful and unfamiliar energies of semi-ethereal beings from another dimension. She definitely doesn't expect the fabric of her own world to unravel around her--with no one but her to stop it. And truly, she has no idea how deep Trevarr's secrets run. "The Reckoners is certain to carry readers along at a break-neck pace that is nonetheless savored along the way." --Jennifer Roberson, author of the Karavans series. "Ghosts, aliens, danger, romance, and a non-cat. As Lisa McGarrity might say, what's not to like?" --Anne Bishop, author of the Black Jewels series "Heroic figures with problems even bigger than they are." --Jacqueline Lichtenberg, The Monthly Aspectarian "Readers will enjoy the humorous dialogue and ghost-busting lingo..." --Publisher's Weekly "THE RECKONERS is an original paranormal adventure which will fuel your imagination on every page." --Single Titles "Delightful beginning to a new series that's funny and lively with a memorable cast of characters." --Fresh Fiction "Doranna Durgin makes her mark with her new urban fantasy series, THE RECKONERS. The delicious debut titled, THE RECKONERS, features a topnotch ghost-hunting team, a tracker from another world, his mysterious sidekick, and all sorts of paranormal activity. The pacing is excellent and the plot engaging. Ms. Durgin’s word-building is edgy and she provides some interesting takes on supernatural elements. Overall, the central mystery is complex, the action plentiful, and the developing relationship between the protagonists satisfying.... It is an exceptional read." --Romance Junkies "Like all of Durgin's books, Reckoners has glorious 3D characters. It has all the joy of Ghostbusters, all the incredible monsters of the paranormal, and a delightful romance that never lets you down. Durgin deftly avoids cliché, and builds a rock-solid high-tension story. Best of all, it comes with an excellent twist at the end that will leave you begging for more." --Adrianne, an Amazon Reader "THE RECKONERS is the first release in Ms. Durgin's new ghost buster series. It is an original and fresh take on the spiritual world and is intense from page one. I enjoyed the interaction between the main characters and the sexual tension between Trevarr and Garrie is extreme. I look forward to more in this series from Ms. Durgin." --The Romance Reader's Connection "Doranna Durgin begins a new urban fantasy series with The Reckoners, featuring feisty heroine and ghost hunter Lisa McGarrity known to her friends as Garrie. At age ten she learned of her talent to corral and manage ghosts. Rhonda Rose, a ghost, helped her to understand and develop her abilities. Now she heads a team of three: the empath Lucia, Drew who can sense the history of a place, and Quinn who ferrets out data they need...Durgin takes the reader on a wild ride with plenty of twists and turns.

A ghost hunter and her team are approached by a man when he needs her help at the Winchester House, renowned for the number of ghosts it has and the purposely difficult layout that requires a guide to get through it. Garrie needs some excitement and decides the team is going. Little does she know that this sexy guy with the scary vibes is a bounty hunter from another world and what she’s needed for is, in essence, to save her own world.The story is told from three points of view. The main one is Garrie, or Lisa McGarrity, who as we are reminded of often, is a small person with a whole lot of power. Exactly what Garrie does with ghosts isn’t quite clear. We do see two or three captured, but what happens to them from there? Other than that, we see her talking to, attempting to negotiate with them or use her power to push them back when they become unruly.Trevaar is the off-world bounty hunter who in order to keep Garrie safe from the notice of a council on his world who would be very interested in her abilities, is keeping a whole lot of secrets from her. The only thing we know about his past is told from the point of view of Nevahn, his grandfather who raised him once his daughter died. This is done via scattered chapters and you don’t realize if it’s the past or present until quite a ways into each of those chapters.The third voice is the most entertaining, although Sklayne, another off-world entity who often takes form as a cat, is somewhat difficult to follow at first. The fact that he’s not from around here and doesn’t think like a human is showcased by very different thought and speech patterns. But you soon get used to it.I like the idea of the storyline and the different threats that were faced, but there were just too many places where I didn’t know what was going on. Some of it is explained later. Some of those flow okay from there but others are rather jarring, especially when the scene changes between one paragraph and the next. And for much of it I was never really clear on what Garrie was doing when using her abilities.It took effort to keep reading and it did get somewhat easier about a quarter of the way in. It especially got more interesting in the last quarter. There is a love interest that is just beginning to take hold and I liked how that was being handled. But it never really sucked me in and it was too easy to set aside a number of times.A copy was provided by the publisher to read in exchange for a review via LibraryThing.

A young girl comes into a village of sorts on another planet. The group claims she is trouble, yet she is the daughter of one of them, her deceased mother. Then you have a ghost hunting team in the Winchester Mystery House. This was equally fascinating, but what does the one have to do with the other? Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the book. Fortunately for me, I stayed with the book. After all, it was good, funny in parts, scary in others. And it seems to have something for everyone.If you like science fiction/fantasy, then you should have no trouble with liking this good book! What I love most about this book IS the Winchester House, the psychic ghost hunters, and the ghosts......I would dare to call some poltergeists. Some even crap ghost poo on the hunters! You have to love the humor in that!You have Lisa McGarrity (the lead protagonist and psychic who heads the ghost hunting team). She seems to be falling for the guy who requests help at the Winchester House. This gentleman is keeping secrets from Garrie...and doesn't let on that he is a bounty hunter from that other planet (see above). He needs her help to help him save her own planet. He tells her things on a need to know basis.It is kind of hard keeping track of who is narrating, as there are three. The different narrations are peppered in between each other. Once you get into the book, it all unfolds nicely. This is going to be a series, so you could say that Ms. Durgin is setting it up for future books while slowly introducing you to very fascinating and interesting characters. I think I love Sklayne, also from another place and is in the form of a cat. He talks different from humans.This book seems to have the whole package. It is clearly refreshing, keeps you involved, and there will be plenty more coming for us to enjoy. I know you will be blown away from the great writing style, too.Thank you, Ms. Durgin and the Library Thing Early Reviewers for giving me a free copy to read and give my honest review.

This is an honest review given for receipt of the free copy.*****Some spoilers******I feel like I have been blessed by a lucky streak with books lately. They have been good, and this was no exception. I was unfamiliar with the author, but I know about Book View Cafe, and have read other books by some of their authors, so when I picked this one (hoping to win) I did have high hopes. I wasn’t disappointed.There are so many books about ghosts and ghost hunters out there, and this one is delightfully different. Garrie is a Reckoner, trained by a ghost named Rhonda Rose. She heads a team with specific talents; Drew, with an innate ethereal knowledge of the history of a building–not just an innate knowledge, but the love of it like a child with legos; Lucie, an empath who is a barometer of ghostie emotional distress and needs, and Quinn, the research guy. Trevarr is the mysterious man who is their employer on this job, at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. He has a guest with him, Sklayne, who is a really cool not-cat.Durgin combines traditional elements of ethereal spirtual powers with wonderful home-made ghost traps, alien powers/magic and other creatures–others worlds–and she makes it all work, and adds in a really nice romance that is believable and heart wrenching at times, but doesn’t overpower the story. The alternating views between Trevarr and Garrie allow Trevarr’s story to unfold and give more understanding as to what is behind his character and makes him tick.I really liked her writing style. Some people may find it choppy, but I found that it fit with the characters and with the story, especially the way Garrie reacts/interacts with the world. I also liked it because it was different and interesting. I enjoyed the way Sklayne talked and thought, his world of sensation and being. He may have been one of my favorite parts of the book, because he made me smile with his view of things. And how very cat-like he was in his not-catness.Not having read the not-author’s cut, I can’t imagine how it must have been before, because I found this length to be just right. It’s not a cliffhanger ending, but I’m glad there are more books, because I like these characters and want to go on more adventures with them. I am so glad that there are places where an author can write the book the author wants to write; not out of vanity, but out of a sense that the story just doesn’t feel right the way it was. Being told by someone else that you need to do this or that stifles one’s creativity; yes, editors are necessary (fully and very much so) but sometimes the way a story is molded by other’s impressions begs the question of what is the author’s and what is the story the publisher thinks will sell. I am happy I read this version. The author’s dream and vision of the story is where the magic is, and I didn’t find it too long, or confusing, or any of the things I might have found if I thought the author was merely “padding” the book or adding unnecessary things in . Everything fit, and I thought everything was essential. I don’t know why I feel I need to add this. I suppose because we live in a society inundated with “Director’s Cuts” of movies and such, and sometimes they do seem unnecessary. Not so here.I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes paranormal, urban fantasy, strong female characters, angsty heroes (who have good cause to be), really interesting secondary characters, bugs, goo…
