Bump in the Night

by J D Robb, Mary Blayney, Ruth Ryan Langan, and Mary Kay McComas

The theme for this series is paranormal with some romance. I say some because really Eve Dallas, while romantic, is more futuristic detective than true romance.

Haunted in Death is an Eve Dallas story. There's a murder, there's a skeleton found and theres a story to unravel. There's also strange goings on in the building and Eve remains skeptical while all around her ask if ghosts are real.

Poppy's Coin by Mary Blayney could have lost the framing story of an American abroad and not missed much, except possibly the reinforcement of the magical elements of the coin. The story is mostly about a couple in Regency England and their wishes for love. Pretty standard story.

Ruth Ryan Langan's The Passenger is a story about a ghost, some people who need each other and some stretching of time. This one came across as the story with the most paranormal elements. A bit predictable though.

Mellow Lemon Yellow by Mary Kay McComas is the story of a woman whose "imaginary friend" comes to visit when she loses her parents and helps her find a more solid sense of self and love.

Overall the J D Robb story was the most solid, the others were pretty predictable romances, readable but nothing that really stood out exceptionally.
