Book Review: Come In and Cover Me
Come In and Cover Me by Gin Phillips
My rating: 3,5 of 5 stars
Ren’s brother Scott died when she was only 12 years old, but he never really went away. His ghost has been a part of her life for 25 years. Her ability to see ghosts has help her in her career as an archaeologist – they can help point her to where the artifacts are buried. She is currently trying to piece together the life story of a Mimbres woman who made unique bowls. Two long-dead Mimbres women have appeared to her but they seem to be telling her more about her own life than theirs.
Ren meets and starts a relationship with one of her fellow archaeologists, Silas, on the dig for the Mimbres bowls. However, she’s apprehensive about sharing her ghost-seeing abilities with him and is afraid she might lose him.
Overall, this was a good story but it was slow and also predictable at times. I thought her relationship with Silas was fairly formulaic – she’s a tough, mysterious woman who needs the love of a good man to break down the walls she’s built around her. However, I thought Ren’s relationship with the two Mibres women was interesting and I enjoyed the flashbacks of what the Mibres women’s lives were like when they were alive.
