THE ROMANCE: MICK AND BETH

JOSEF AND CORALINE

Shannyn Sossamon plays the femme fatale part of Coraline to perfection. You never quite know what she’s up to. She’s a fascinating character who will leave you entranced.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

While a few of the procedural cases aren’t the most original or creative, the series as a whole and as a paranormal romance is one of the best in its genre.
