track down the serial killer responsible for her death and then lead an

Limbo.
Extended description
My name is Veronika Kane and dying, dying was just the beginning.
How was I supposed to know that getting smashed on my 21st birthday would lead me to becoming the 9th victim of a serial killer that’s been stalking Philadelphia’s streets for months? Now I’m a ghost and unlife is pretty scary. Reapers, wraiths, ghouls, gargoyles: all of the monsters that I thought were storybook characters are real! On top of it all, the powers that be in the ghost world want to enslave me and use me in their own diabolical plot to manipulate the people of the living world. Too bad I didn’t turn out to be the kind of ghost they wanted me to be, and I’m not about to let them turn me into one of their puppets. These ghosts are responsible for my murder and the murders of eight other women.
A rebellion is coming, and the ghosts that run this place are about to find out just how big a mistake they made when they had me killed.
My name is Veronika Kane and being murdered isn't the end of my story.
Wail of the Banshees is an Urban Fantasy Novel and the first book in the exciting Ghost Wars saga which features paranormal horror and action set in living Philadelphia and the ghostly world of Limbo.

Review:
To begin with I need to apologize for being late with this review. I had some stuff come up, and I was without internet.
I
have to say I really wasn't expecting much out of this book. Some of
the books I've read lately have been kind of blase. I was pleasantly
surprised with Wail of the Banshees by Robert Poulin.
I
was able to picture the story in my mind's eye. Robert Poulin does a
great job of allowing the reader to picture the story. This surprised
me a little more after reading his dedication to his mom. He is legally
blind. He does a better job of making me visualize the setting and
story than writer's that can actually see what things look like.
Another
great thing about this book is that you get to learn a little more
about history, and about Philadelphia, in addition, to all of the fun
supernatural stuff.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series, and for that matter anything else that Robert Poulin writes.
I'm
sure that those that love stories about the supernatural will love this
book. However, this is definitely more of a book for high school
students and older due to some violence and sexual situations (really
only one scene that is more explicit).
What are you waiting for? Head on over and check out Wail of the Banshees by Robert Poulin.
About the Author:
Robert
Poulin was born and raised in the New England state of Connecticut.
After spending his late teenage years in Boca Raton Florida, Robert
moved to upstate New York where he lived with his uncle Wilbrod Poulin
and attended the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.
After
earning a Bachelor's in Political Science and a Master's in Teaching,
Robert went back to Florida where he taught Social Studies for a few
years. After returning to Northern New York, Robert took a job with the
North Country Center for Independence: a disability rights and advocacy
organizations.
Robert has worked for NCCI for thirteen years and is now the Executive Director.
Wail
of the Banshees is Robert's first novel; he has been a huge fan of
fantasy and science fiction since second grade when he discovered The
Hobbit. Urban fantasy in particular has become Robert's favored genre in
the past decade.
Robert
has been legally blind since infancy, but thanks to a mom that
encouraged independence, hard work, and a healthy dose of dreaming, the
disability has mostly just been an inconvenience. Robert is currently in
the editorial process with his second novel, Death Toll, and is writing
Echoes of Madness the third novel in the Veronika Kane saga.
