Over two hundred years ago, Odette was murdered by angry villagers who mistakenly thought she was behind the rash of deaths that plagued them. As she breathed her last breath, a mysterious stranger saved her and changed her life forever. Now she haunts the nights looking for the one thing she longs for until she finds it in the eyes of Tony, a man who will change her world as Odette changes his.

Ms. Banks is this reviewer’s favorite author yet in FINDERS KEEPERS, it was hard not to compare it to her outstanding Vampire Huntress series. This author writes a fast paced story with tight writing and though her characters lacked certain panache, they were very likable to a degree. I would have enjoyed seeing what happed to the mysterious man who saved Odette and what she had to overcome to be where she was when FINDERS KEEPERS started. It was a challenge to feel anything for Odette yet once Tony came to the scene it was interesting to see the sparks fly and how Odette changes his life into one like hers. They are both interesting characters though this reviewer would have enjoyed seeing a more in depth look into both characters lives. Ms. Banks is a wonderful storyteller yet with her newest series; it takes a little time to be interested in the characters and the story. Overall, FINDERS KEEPERS is a delight if you enjoy a fast paced story that will keep you entertained for an afternoon.
