Nicki Styx

review 1: Wow, what a turnaround! After two semi-okay reads, I finally find the Nicki Styx book that really rocked my world. YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I HAUNT was amazing….I found myself falling for temptation. Finally back home from Savannah, Nicki faces the Devil right across the street. Sammy pulls no stops trying to temp Nicki to the dark side, even going as far as threatening Joe’s career with the help of a young angry spirit.Crystal Cowart’s death isn’t Joe’s fault, but this angry spirit is out to make his life a living hell, with help from Sammy. Through possessions, Nicki is filmed (by Sammy) claiming Joe killed Crystal. Thus an investigation begins on Joe, threatening the career he’s worked so hard for. But where Joe and Nicki’s relationship was weak at in A MATCH... more MADE IN HELL, they made up for in YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I HAUNT, for these two were finally solid in their feelings and relationship and were able to make it through fairly unscratched. Sammy, man it was hard to hate him. He was what the word temptation is all about. One moment he was all scorching and typical devil evilness and then the next appearance he showed Nicki where he came from and the unfairness of his fate. There were some seriously tender moments where it was hard for Nicki to keep her resolve, but she kept her love for Joe up front in her mind. The plot with Crystal was a good one. Much better than the previous two, I think. It didn’t get all complicated and blown out of proportions. Crystal suffered abuse at the hands of the family minister, but with a relationship with him, her mom wouldn’t believe her. Now, Crystal fears for her younger sister being forced to endure the same treatment. Unable to move on Sammy gets his darkness and lies into her and it’s up to Nicki to get her into the light. Overall, the best book so far of the series. I enjoyed the down to earth plot (with minimal interference from Bijou), the relationship with Joe finally felt like it went somewhere and Sammy’s involvement really created a ‘on your toes’ atmosphere.
review 2: Ever had ghosts talk to you? Ever had one possess you and publically accuse your boyfriend of murder? Nicki Styx is finding out what this feels like. Nicki has the power to talk with the dead, she was almost dead once but told to go back to Earth and do some good, so she tries to help them find peace with whatever they are hanging around for, but this ghost just won’t go away. The Devil himself is trying to get Nicki to join him as his lover and the more she resists the harder he makes it for her. He sends a crazy angry ghost to make her and her boyfriend’s life challenging, he shows up in her thoughts and dreams to make her want him, and he is opening a record store across the street from her own vintage clothing store. Can Nicki find a way to help Crystal, the ghost, find peace so that she will stop haunting her? Can she keep her boyfriend? And will the Devil ever leave her alone?I enjoyed this book. It was a quick, fun and I guess you could say sort of a romantic comedy type read. It had a couple being torn apart because of events surrounding them that they cannot control, and they have to fight for their relationship. But the twist is that they are fighting the actual Devil, not to mention that there is also a maniac ghost in the picture. The character of Nicki was interesting, being that she could see ghosts and she tried really hard to help them. All in all a great read, something that isn't in my normal reading pattern, and come on... who wouldn’t want to read about the Devil trying to seduce someone by making their life a mess. Good times.*Reviewed by Jenny less
