Allegra Fairweather here. Paranormal investigator. Got problems with specters? Shapeshifters? I'm the woman to call. Just don't call me a Ghostbuster. The last guy who did that ended up flat on his back with my boot at his throat.
With my 99.5% success rate, solving the mystery of a bleeding rose that has sprung up on the shores of Loch Furness should have been an easy gig. But already I've heard the shriek of the local banshee, discovered two bodies (and then lost two bodies), and had a near-death encounter with a three-hundred-year-old ghost. And perhaps most dangerous of all, the hot pub owner who hired me now wants to show me exactly what's under his kilt.
Luckily, I'm ably assisted by my very own guardian angel. I'm grateful for his help—but he's also drop-dead gorgeous. A bit distracting when I've got a mystery to solve, and the clock is ticking...

Allegra Fairweather Paranormal Investigator eBook Janni Nell
Allegra Fairweather is a paranormal investigator, and although she has no special powers of her own save for a big toe that itches when something spooky is near, she still manages to rock a 99.5% success rate for solving cases (including one involving a female big foot with a shoe fetish!). Allegra is assisted by her guardian angel, Casper. Well, assisted isn't the best word, since he's not allowed to actually help her solve cases, but he is there to keep her alive when she finds herself in one life threatening situation after another. Casper (not his real name, Allegra made it up when she was little) is not your typical Michael Landon angel (does anyone remember that show?), he's more like a winged version of Leo from "Charmed," but without the white lights. He lived many centuries ago, when raping and pillaging was all the rage, and now guards women to atone for his sins. The catch- he cannot be romantically involved with them. No sex, no kissing, and probably so much as no impure thoughts at all.When the Dedfield Rose, also called the Flower of Death, pops out of the ground in a small town in Scotland, Allegra hops a plane from her home in San Diego and crosses the Atlantic to lend a hand. After all, the rose only blooms when disaster is about to strike- and strike it does. On Allegra's first night in town, the wail of a banshee heralds the first death and the body of a local man (a heavy drinker) turns up on the shore near the rose, only to vanish before the cops arrive. Allegra sets out to solve the mystery of the Dedfield Rose's appearance, stop more deaths from occurring, and perhaps get in a little quality time with her guardian angel that, unfortunately, can never return her obvious affections without getting himself permanently banned from heaven.
Janni Nell writes beautifully, and had me hooked from the first sentence. Her dialogue flows as naturally as a good conversation should and her characters jump off the page and spring to life in your head. The story is engaging and about as unique as one can get these days, when just about everything has been written already. While reading, I was a little concerned that one of the paranormal mysteries she introduces towards the beginning was going to be left hanging in the wind, and I wondered why she even bothered to introduce it in the first place, but by the end her motivations were clear and it made sense. The only thing that bothered me is that I figured out the answer to the mystery at about 49% of the way through during one specific scene that screamed "this is what you're looking for, Allegra! This is why your toe is itchy! Think, woman, think!" It took out paranormal investigator slightly longer to put the pieces together.
This book is straight-up paranormal mystery. While there is a slight attraction between Allegra and Douglas, the man who hired her to solve the mystery (more on Douglas' part), as well as an obvious attraction to Casper on Allegra's part, romance only makes up a few paragraphs of the book. With a very likable lead character, a back story with bits and pieces that leave me wanting to learn more, I've already added her next book to my Amazon Kindle wish list.

Allegra Fairweather Paranormal Investigator eBook Janni Nell Reviews
This was OK, but I was very disappointed with the character -- surely she has done some studying of the paranormal before embarking on her career!?! She really was dense or this was a very wide-open "mystery" with the clues dropped right and left so that anyone could have solved it in the first chapter, except, of course, for the heroine...who really had her mind(?) on too many other things.
Well written. Exciting mystery and ending. Interesting characters. I will be reading the rest of the series.
Note I dislike being told how many words I have to write.
Allerga is a paranormal investigator. She is called to a small village to investigate selkie attacks. The village is seething with secrets and interesting men. Allergan is a no nonsense gal and watching her work is a pleasure.
This started off well. A little cute for my taste but still ok and then it started to drag...
I kept hoping that the story would take on a little more depth or a little more complexity -- something, anything to give it just a tiny bit more substance but it never came. If I could have given a two and a half rating I would have. A two is I couldn't finish it, a three is I read the whole thing and enjoyed it even if it had flaws and a 2&1/2 is I started skipping pages. My guess is that if you like light, somewhat comic writing this will be a good read for you. If, on the other hand, you want any character development you might be disappointed.
Just read Allegra Fairweather on my and I loved it. About 70% of the way through the book I got sucked in and could go to bed until I finished it. It was awkward to explain to my boss I was late because I was reading a paranormal mystery novel and didn't get any sleep last night. I love Allegra and Casper's relationship and am interested to see what happens next. The reviews already written are accurate, they are what convinced me to try the book. And like another reviewer said, The twists and turns are a lot of fun. She does take a while to get into the story but I think it helps get you into her world. For a first book, it was good and I am excited to see what comes next.
Alegra investigates things that involve the paranormal. In this instance she's in Scotland check on the possibility of a lake monster and a thing called a Doomflower. It's presence predicts a disaster soon to take place and this is even furthered by the sound of a banshee.
Alegra has a helper, an angel guardian, who has a rather shady background. There's also a Lady Justina who seems to dance outside in the noon and whom some think is a witch. On top of this there's a cairn, a burial spot, for a guy that was a powerful warrior in his time. Before long the deaths start and Alegra finds out she has a rather unexpected problem that involves both the loch and Lady Justina.
This is a really good read, good enough that I intend to get the rest of the books in the series.
Bought "Allegra Fairweather, Paranormal Investigator," because I had just gotten a new and I wanted to take it out for a spin with a cheap book. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up enjoying the book. The characters are fun and real (except for Casper, for obvious reasons). The story flows smoothly, and while it may not be a mystery in the truest form, it is an enjoyable story. As soon as I finished, I rushed back to to see if there is a sequel. It's so nice to find a book that isn't hampered by graphic violence, rampant sex, and disjointed stories. Hurry and buy it before they wise up and raise the price. Can't wait for the next one!!
