“WOW. I have no other words. This book consumed my reading time, quickly becoming a page-turner as I could not put this book down until all was said and done.

Ms. Toussaint knows how to tell a story that had me immersed in all that was happening within the pages. This was a well-written, fast-paced, and action-packed drama that encompass all the previous books in the series and culminated in a no-holds-bar tale that brought everything together in one explosive act. From the murder to the suspects to the entity harming the townspeople, our heroine is doing as much as she can to solve this deep-down puzzling case. There were a few tense moments that played havoc with my emotions as I followed along with what the author intended. Some powerful scenes were found in the confines of this multi-plot story and as the drama progressed, the frenetic pacing set the stage for climatic conclusion and again, wow. This is by far the best book in this series and I’m so happy that I got to know Baxley, Lacy, Tab, Larissa, Wayne and Mayes.” —Dru’s Book Musing

“One might think that the 7th book in a series would require prior familiarity with some or most of the others, but that’s not the case. All Done With It‘s ability to build on the prior books, yet remain accessible to newcomers, makes it a highly recommended cozy paranormal mystery pick for both audiences, easily available and compelling.”—Donovan Literary Services for Midwest Book Review.

Trying to save these people stretches Baxley’s resources and saps her energy. She must summon all the help she can get, including an undercover angel and a ghost dog, to help her defeat this ultimate threat to humanity. All Done With It is an enthralling read that offers a satisfying conclusion to the Dreamwalker series.”—Nancy J Cohen, author of the Bad Hair Day Mysteries

Her condition doesn’t stop her from stepping in to help solve a murder, but Baxley’s otherworldly senses are clouded by the location of the crime scene.

“Five Stars! The mystery of what the shadow is, saving the world from annihilation and waiting for her baby to be born has made Baxley’s life a whirlwind of drama, evil, and a reappearance of a past enemy not exactly how I would want to spend my ninth month of pregnancy but if anyone can overcome everything that is happening it is Baxley or is she finally facing an evil even she can’t stop.”.—Linda Tonis for Paranormal Romance Guild

Excerpt

Raindrops pooled in the dead woman’s bellybutton. Her bare midriff gleamed like burnished mahogany. The gray sports bra, running shorts, sneakers, and lean physique suggested she liked to run. Tight curls framed her face like a dark orb, and her amber eyes stared vacantly at the sky.
Definitely a young adult, possibly late twenties like me. I’m Baxley Powell Mayes, Dreamwalker and relatively new crime consultant for the Sinclair County sheriff’s office. My extrasensory talents focus on communicating with the dead and helping the living. I’m also good at observing crime scenes such as this one on Henderson Road in Sinclair County, Georgia.
With the midday thundershower topping off the already high water table in the nearby swamp, the weedy lawn oozed water where I stepped. I leaned forward over my very pregnant belly to study the abrasion near her elbow. It looked fresh. I stepped back from the body and waited for my crime consultant assignment.
“The parcel delivery guy called this one in,” Sheriff Wayne Thompson said, emerging from his Jeep and striding our way.
My boss still bore the muscular carriage of an athlete from his high school quarterback glory days and the arrogance to match. Though he wasn’t the easiest person to work for, I respected his authority.
“Lucky for us, the rain stopped by the time we arrived.” Wayne gestured at the body. “Mayes, give me your perspective of the victim.”
My husband, Deputy Sam Mayes, stood beside me in his khaki uniform, his Cherokee heritage evident in his high cheekbones, striking long black hair, and dark brown eyes. Like me, he was a Dreamwalker, though he had hidden depths I had yet to fathom.
He was also my second husband, my first having disappeared during his military service a few years ago. Last fall, Mayes helped me locate my missing husband’s consciousness in a tween place, and together we eased his concerns and showed him how to enter the afterlife. Even so, it took me a while to accept Mayes as a fixture in my life. I’d had doubts about the wisdom of a long distance relationship since he had a job and tribal responsibilities in north Georgia. He’d been certain I was the one for him. Needless to say, he’d won me over, and we were happily married and living in my coastal Georgia home.
Mayes moved forward, stepping where I’d stepped in the unkept grass. “African American female, about five seven and one-twenty pounds. No ID in sight. No bullet or stab wounds mar her skin. The narrow abrasion circling her neck and the pinpoint red spots in her eyes suggest strangulation as the means of death. All signs point to a homicide.”
“That’s what I thought,” the sheriff said. “Bax, you got anything to add?”
