Blurb: Two months ago, Ben Nelson stepped between a vengeful demon and psychic Artie Middleton—and has been paying for that decision ever since. Now that the last rites have been administered, doctors are ready to pull the plug on the young police detective. The trouble is, Artie has seen his future and knows that Ben belongs there.
When a friend suggests a solution that seems…out of this world, Artie must face Ben’s parents and convince them that there’s a chance their son can be saved. Unfortunately, even if he succeeds, every good deed comes with a price.
And someone is always waiting to up the ante.

Reviewer: Cat
Review: This is book two of the Four of Clubs Series and book 7 of the pulp friction altered states collection. You do need to read each series in order. Though you don’t have to read the entire collection in order you would understand things much better if you do.
Artie doesn’t know what to do when the doctors convince Ben’s parents to pull the plug. He is sure after the one touch that Ben isn’t supposed to die since he saw them together in Ben’s mind.
When he talks to his friends Sabine he relents to letting Tempest visit. Tempest thinks she can help but it won’t be easy.
Of course if it had been easy we wouldn’t have had such an interesting nail-biting story. I sat on the edge of my chair wondering what was going to happen next. There was a cute surprise when Sabine visited Artie. I love this new addition. (I am not going to spoil it for ya.)
The poker game was lighthearted and helped to break up the drama until, of course, the darn cliffhanger ending!
What city where ghost stories and magic are prevalent would make a better setting for this story than New Orleans? I can’t think of any. With the perfect backdrop, a sexy array of supernatural, paranormal and superhuman, mystery drama and hot mansex, this collection of stories make a perfect summer read.
If you like ghosts, werewolves, physics, sex-demons, vampires witches and no telling what else may pop up, suspense drama, mystery and some romance this is for you!
