About this audiobook
A big storm is brewing, there's a killer on the loose, and the ghosts of Myrtle Beach are restless. Psychic medium Simon Kincaide and his sexy cop boyfriend, homicide detective Vic D'Amato, have their hands full helping the Grand Strand brace for rough surf, driving rain, and high winds as a winter storm roars toward shore.
Everyone's on edge, and rumors are rampant about sightings of Blackcoat Benny, a ghostly omen of danger, and worse, the Gallows Nine, the spirits of nine infamous criminals hanged back in the 1700s, a harbinger of disaster. Rough tides wash the wreck of an old pirate ship into shallow waters, high winds threaten to damage an old mansion with a dark past, and the citizens of the beach town hunker down to ride out the storm.
As the skies grow dark and the sea turns wild, several men from prominent local families end up dead under suspicious circumstances. Simon's premonition confirms Vic's gut feeling-the killing is just getting started. As Simon tries to reach out to the spirits of the murdered men to help the investigation, he's attacked by malicious ghosts that don't want anyone getting in the way of their long-overdue vengeance.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Rising by Morgan BriceBadlands series #2. Paranormal M-M romantic mystery. Can be read as a stand-alone. There have been a number of suicides in the beach community off Myrtle Beach. Investigating because the latest family insists the victim would not have killed himself, Homicide detective Vic D’Amato feels uneasy at the crime scene. Having been told to pay attention to those instincts, he asks boyfriend and psychic Simon Kincaide for help. At the crime scene, Simon is attacked by a vicious ghost which sends the investigation down a historical path of vengeance. Creepy and violent ghosts have Simon and Vic rushing to prevent the next victim while they also cement their newish relationship. Salt plays an important protective break of the paranormal. Multiple steamy scenes help temper the scary ghosts.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A winter storm is blowing into Myrtle Beach and the residents there are concerned. Pack up and evacuate or wait it out. So... not only do Simon and Vic have to deal with a storm coming but also a string of suicides that could be/probably are... murders...visions of pirates and privateers... and a poltergeist troubling the construction crew at a local historical manor. Simon...the psychic medium and Vic... his homicide detective boyfriend, have their hands full. The story combines the ghost stories with a real-world murder and some local history. Two different local legends that collide with strong and evil forces. A really good mystery and extremely lovable characters. Please forgive me for sounding like a broken record but I wish these books were longer.
