Book 3 in the Nikki Styx series. It begins where book 2 leaves off. The Devil is still up to his antics trying to get Nikki to go to the dark side. He decides to make life a lot harder by getting a ghost involved who is basically pissed off at the world and wants revenge. The revenge is going to hurt her beloved Doctor boyfriend Joe. He is facing a lawsuit and losing his job. Nikki cannot let that happen so she is trying to make a deal with the ghost and try to help her.Its a good book and very entertaining. I like this series though! Can't wait for book 4 :) Reviewed by Gannon Carr for Romance Novel TVPublisher: AvonAfter a near death experience six months ago, Nicki Styx “came back” with the ability to see and talk to ghosts. So far she’s dealt fairly well with helping these spirits find the Light and move on. Her vintage clothing store, Handbags and Gladrags is thriving, thanks to her partner and best friend, Evan. And she’s enjoying her relationship with the handsome Dr. Joe Bascombe, the ER doctor who quite literally brought her back to life. Then it all goes to hell when the Devil—yes, that one—moves in next door.Sammy Divine is the current owner of Divinyls, the indie music store across the street from Nicki’s shop. Everyone else may think he’s just a very hot blonde, blue-eyed hunk, but Nicki knows all too well who and what he really is and why he’s set up shop in her neighborhood. Sammy wants Nicki, but a date with the Devil is not her idea of a good time. But Sammy won’t take no for an answer, and the Devil doesn’t mind playing dirty. He’ll use any means necessary, even using the one Nicki loves most.Joe meets Nicki for coffee after a particularly trying night in the ER. While they are talking, Crystal, the ghost of a patient Joe lost in the ER, shows up and is she ever pissed! She blames Joe for her death and won’t leave Nicki alone until Joe admits he’s at fault. Turns out that Crystal was bulimic and as a result of her condition, her heart stopped and she could not be resuscitated. During all the brouhaha, Sammy shows up and conveniently has a cameraman with him to film a “commercial” for Divinyls. Instead, Crystal takes that moment to possess Nicki, who starts spewing all manner of heinous accusations about Joe causing Crystal’s death. As if that wasn’t enough, she tells everyone she can talk to dead people and that they should come see her if they want to contact their deceased loved ones.After Sammy’s stunt, Joe is under investigation at the hospital, Nicki is bombarded by every wacko in a 100 mile radius, and Crystal just won’t go away. The Devil doesn’t play fair and Nicki is learning that the hard way. But she’s tougher than Sammy bargained for and when love is on the line, all bets are off!I have enjoyed this series since the beginning. Nicki never fails to make me laugh. She would be so much fun to hang out with—never a dull moment with someone who “sees dead people!” You’re The One That I Haunt is the third book in the Nicki Styx series. While there is a bit of back story, it’s much better—and more fun—to read the series in order: Dead Girls Are Easy, which won a RITA and A Match Made In Hell. If you’re looking for a little something to chase away the winter doldrums, take a walk on the wild side with Nicki Styx.
