I received a free copy of this book from the ŷ Group, Lovers of Paranormal, in exchange for an honest review.
This is the second book in the series that follows Sarah Milton, a police detective in Los Angeles, and her sidekick, Anna Enigma, who is a twelve or thirteen year old ghost.
This story finds Sarah revisiting a previous case, ”The Fancy Dress Killer�, Harry Sands. There is now a copycat killer out there who is targeting people involved in the capture and conviction of Harry Sands. Sarah is juggling trying to clear her ex-partner of murder charges, working the case, dealing with relationships, and living with Anna. This case is complex and there is involvement from the spiritual world that affects the physical world. Only by combining information from both of these planes can the mystery be solved and the killer captured. Anna explores places that Sarah cannot, and Sarah has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts. This is how the mystery can be solved and yet again, Sarah is challenged with explaining what she knows to her coworkers.
J. B. Cameron is an incredibly talented storyteller. There is a lot of depth to all of the characters and they are all very well developed. There was so much going on in this book. However, it was so well written and the transitions were so well done that it was easy to connect everything that happened. The murder mystery was riveting and the intersection of the two worlds (paranormal and physical) was really dynamic and fascinating. The ending was quite a surprise and is going to lead to some future challenges for our two leading ladies.
As a thriller/suspense � awesome; as a paranormal mystery � awesome.
Things that make this such a great book (and series) include: the depth, humor, intense plot, the characters along with their flaws, the relationship between Sarah and Anna, and the tension and suspense. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

I wondered whether i'd like this book as much as I did the prequel but I loved it and never wanted it to end!
Falls under many genres; Mystery, thriller, fantasy and paranormal.
Sarah Milton is a detective with the Violent Crimes unit in the L.A. P.D. and its noticeably intuitive and perceptive if not a little odd to her co-workers but all are used to it since her behaviour changed when she got shot. What her friends don't realise is when she came back from her temporary death she could see ghosts including her childhood "imaginary friend" Ana.
While having Ana being her eyes and ears has been handy it's also opened her eyes to how many crimes have had a Paranormal hand
When murders reflecting those of a killer she locked away start happening she starts to believe there's more than just copycat behind them but being in the P.D. she has to have proof.
Honestly couldn't find fault with this story and was shocked to see it was 400 pages and it went by in a blur of suspence and good old fashioned writing that kept me captivated.
The characters blend and react perfectly with some like Chelsea bringing a fun twist.
Sarah and Ryans relationship had me on tender hooks and I genuinly felt the emotions Sarah did, especially jealousy (I still think BITCH when I think of the Apartment scene).
The descriptions and tone of the book really had me in the zone of the characters and I had to turn the lights on before sleeping while reading one night and that was just Sarah visiting a bookshop for information!
The writing, storyline and editing are flawless, there may have been mistakes but I didn't notice any as I was too engrosed.
Really hope there are many more books in this series to come.

You could get the impression that this is a rather light-hearted crime thriller, but really it's not. There is humor, certainly, some black humor along with rather an adult, chick-lit type of humor, but mostly it's pretty grim. More than half the book is a pretty solid police procedural with a few paranormal goings-on, as they investigate a killer with connections to a former case � cue lots of flashbacks to the former case, often disturbingly from the killer's viewpoint. And then we have a shocking twist and � unlikely as it seemed � some romance. The last third is full-on paranormal with a big showdown in a deserted church. The showdown is surprisingly physical and lengthy, like one of those film set-pieces with combat and tactics between the special effects, and most interestingly introduced an unexpected player. Looking back, you could see some of the paranormal stuff as playfully over-the-top and the fight scene as somewhat slapstick � but that's really not how it seemed to me at the time. I don't know if there are actually problems with the tone, or if it's just my reading of it.
Reading the first book isn't strictly necessary, though with one particular character I felt you were supposed to exclaim � oh no, not him! rather than � who is this guy?
I'd recommend reading the companion novella Anna's Adventures too.

Sarah faces more murder and mayhem in Fidelis in Aeternum.
This time, her loyalty, her friends', and more about their individual gifts is revealed.
I was honored to read an advance copy of this book from Booksprout.
In my honest opinion, it's another thrilling, action packed read.
Sarah is apparently not the only member of the LAPD with supernatural gifts. Love and death also don't seem to mix well.
If you enjoy intense cop serials with a supernatural twist, this could be your next "can't put it down" read.

I really enjoyed this police drama. I found it creepy, dark, suspenseful, and there is also some romance that adds in sweeter moments. It is a good story that I'd recommend reading, but definitely start from the beginning! You can also read the novella first if you like, but it will give you a leg up on the first book if you do that. I really like Cameron's writing style.

I love this book. The main character is a pistol of a lady and takes no crap from anyone, and she is headstrong . I plan on reading more from this writer in the future.

A thrilling adventure with danger, mystery, fantasy and crime . This story is even better than the first in the series as Sarah and her ghostly helper battle evil as they try to solve a mysterious murder.

This is the second book in the Sarah Milton Chronicles. For my review of the first book go to:
What I like most about these books is that they're funny. Not just 'small smile' funny, there were definitely a few 'laugh out loud' funny moments to be had. Most of the humor comes from Anna who does what every ghost should do when they're stuck on the sidelines watch people's lives. Make sarcastic comments and pull the occasional prank.
To be fair, she does try to help out her best friend and detective Sarah Milton as well. With each book there's a big mystery that Sarah and her team have to solve that ends up veering into the supernatural. And since Sarah and her ghost friend are the only ones who believe in the supernatural, they end up doing most of the heavy lifting.
There's a real buffy humor vibe to these books, so if you liked that show then you should end up enjoying these books. The characters are awesome. Some do seem a bit stereotypical, but if they're stereotypes, then they're nice ones.
Here's the blurb:

I didn't enjoy the plot as much as the first book. In the first book we saw a bit from Sarah's childhood, then the rest was set in the present. This book hops back and forth between two timelines. One shows the fancy dress killer when he first went on his rampage (something that happened before the first book), and the other is set after the first book when similar killings start showing up.
Now don't get me wrong, the plot was still enjoyable. We get more questions answered than the first book which is awesome. We find out more about our characters. I won't give too much away, but by the end of the second book there's a definite feeling that we're heading toward some answers about the major questions like how come Anna is so powerful, and what's the link between her and Sarah.
And action. Lots of action. So it was good, I just felt the moving back and forth took away from some of the tension. That's what made this four stars rather than five stars for me.
If you liked the first book (and if you haven't read that one, go read it because it's a really fun read), then you should like this one. I'm definitely still hooked enough to be looking forward to the next book.

Reading The Dead: Fidelius in Aeternum (The Sarah Milton Chronicles, #2)
I received a free copy, through LoP, in exchange for a review.
Now on to the next, or so Sarah Milton thought. She never really thought she would be revisiting the “Fancy Dress Killer� Harry Sands, since he was convicted and locked away. But now, copycat killings are starting to surface, leaving Sarah and Anna, her ghost partner in crime, trying to figure out are they truly just copycat killings or is there something more to it, something otherwordly? This investigation along with another one, where her former partner and mentor is being accused of murdering a woman, (another police officer) has Sarah right on the edge of sanity. A lot of surprises and old memories are going to be brought to the surface and hopefully Sarah and Anna can get to the bottom of the mystery, before more dead bodies show up.
'Sands wrapped his weapon in both hands, before looping it around the police officer's slender throat. He lifted her head by her windpipe, savoring her distressed gagging as she struggled for oxygen. Her body twisted and flopped under him as she attempted to free her hands and escape, but she couldn't move. Her attacker pinned her to the ground. Sands pulled her leash tighter, relishing the feeling of her life fading under his hands.
“Don't fight it, officer,� he breathed into her ear as he tugged her head further off the ground. “Death is the natural conclusion to everything. Give into it. Welcome its dark embrace as you would a lover.�
GREAT second book! I was so hooked, from the very beginning. Loved the pace of the story line and also all of the flashbacks. It explained what had happened between Sands' and Sarah's characters and how everything comes full circle. Highly recommend!

4 stars!
Summary
In this second book of the Reading The Dead series, Sarah Milton is faced with a new investigation where she has to prove her old partner is innocent for a crime he didn't commit. Various murders are occurring in a copy-cat fashion of the "Fancy Dress Killer", a murderer that she was responsible for putting behind bars.
With the help of Sarah's ghostly side-kick, Anna Nigma, they are thrown into the paranormal world once more, realising that they are dealing with more than just a copy-cat killer. Meanwhile Sarah also has to deal with her love life (or lack of) and figure out her true feelings for Ryan once given reason to be jealous.
My Thoughts
I loved this novel and the 400 pages flew by. The pacing is appropriate with a lot of tension at the various plot-twists. Anna's humour is my favourite thing from this series, there is such darkness and suspense that her wit is a welcomed respite to the heaviness of the story.
I still love the characters in this series. They all have their own quirks and personalities and there's a credible depth to them which makes the whole story more gripping.
The last 20% of this book was so action-packed and the ending shocked me. Not sure if I agree with what happened towards the end with Sarah & Ryan but the cliffhanger certainly held my attention.
Enjoyed this a lot and my only reason for it being 4 stars was that I think I preferred the first one slightly more. It was a brilliant follow-on from the first book though.
Thank you to the author as well for providing me with a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

The second book in this series is just as good as the first. I am impressed with Cameron's ability to construct such elaborate novels.
Sarah Milton is a detective in the Violent Crimes Unit and they have an impressive team that is dedicated to solving the heinous murders that take place in LA. Sarah is unique as she has some supernatural help in the form of a ghost, Anna.
Anna, adds mystery, wittiness and a great deal of fun to the storyline. I enjoyed her jokes, humor and her ultimate willingness to help. She cares deeply for Sarah and although they may grate the others nerves at times, they do make a great duo when it comes to solving crimes.
We see Sarah's character grow in this book and even gain more insight into her past. Her budding relationship with Ryan is intriguing and will keep you engaged.
The mystery that Cameron lays out in this novel makes you unable to put the book down. I had to read it to the end and was deeply disappointed when it did end.
This story has the right amount of suspense, action, mystery, horror and light witted humor. This is by far one of the best supernatural detective series that I have read. I love the fact that Sarah is highly intelligent and perfectly capable of solving crimes on her own. The fact that she has Anna, who is invisible and can walk through walls is just an added bonus.
I love the fact that all the characters are realistic and their interaction is so natural, it isn't forced at all. Cameron does a great job with character development and relationships between them.
I look forward to seeing more of Sarah in the future to see her career continue to progress and to see her relationships continue to develop.

Reading The Dead: Fidelis In Aeternum #2 by J.B. Cameron: From the mind that brought you the first Reading the Dead comes a continuation of an exhilarating story. This paranormal mystery picks up right where the first ends but you get to see how each character has gotten to where they are today. Working along side Sarah Milton as ghost from her past cases come back to haunt her and her loved ones. They all though the Fancy Dress Killer was locked away and that the streets were safe, boy were they wrong. When a victim shows up with eerie similarities to those that lost their lives at the hands of Harry Sands, Sarah and her team start to scramble. Who could be committing these terrible crimes? Who’s their next target? I suggest you pick up this series and find out.
I loved this book! It has the same feel and drive as the first book and you find out so much more about those you’ve already come to embrace. See where Sarah, Mason and Chelsea came from and how they got to the VCU. I have to say, I’m also happy that Marcie Yang made another appearance (at the end). She is just so funny! Oh, and I can’t adequately express how much you will hate Harry Sands and his accomplices. All in all, I’d say everything J.B.Cameron set out to convey has been accomplished. You got it all� action, adventure, chases, tons of humor, a little romance thrown in for good measure; and an excellent mystery.

First and foremost let me begin by stating that I received a free copy of the book from the author in exchange for my honest review (LOP R2R). Thank you
I have really enjoyed this story; Anna Enigma is my favorite character. She is spunky and funny, I would love her as a friend. I was a bit disappointed with Sarah’s actions at the end of the book. I would have loved to give this book a 5 star review however some of my previous questions were not answered and some additional ones were added. I don’t expect all questions to be answered in the first or second book of a series but I was hoping for some hint that they will be answered at some point. At least give me something to let me know that you will answer them at some point.
*Spoiler Alert: *
Some of my questions from first book:
WHO was the German man and what the heck did he have to do with Sarah?
What is this “Darkness� that is coming to get her?
Where is the Serpent with the one eye (I don’t think is the sigil)?
Did Sarah’s mom see/hear ghost?
WHAT IS ANNA?
Some of my new questions from second book:
Who is Sebastian Challenger?
What the heck is this black bible?
Is Sebastian Challenger the German Man from the first book?

I don’t expect all questions to be answered in the first or second book of a series but I was hoping for some hint that they will be answered at some point. At least give me something to let me know that you will answer them at some point.
*Spoiler Alert: *
Some of my questions from first book:
WHO was the German man and what the heck did he have to do with Sarah?
What is this “Darkness� that is coming to get her?
Where is the Serpent with the one eye (I don’t think is the sigil)?
Did Sarah’s mom see/hear ghost?
WHAT IS ANNA?
Some of my new questions from second book:
Who is Sebastian Challenger?
What the heck is this black bible?
Is Sebastian Challenger the German Man from the first book?

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the “Lovers of Paranormal� Group on ŷ.com and the Author.
Absolutely wonderful paranormal detective story. Sarah Milton is at it again, fighting criminals that the rest of the police department can't even see. With Anna, her ghostly teenage sidekick, she manages to get into some pretty sticky situations. I often wondered if Sarah was going to end up as a ghost herself with all of the danger she put herself in.
I very much enjoyed Sarah's relationship with Ryan......things really looked sticky there for a while and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what would happen with them.
My favorite character, Anna Nigma, was in some pretty dangersous situations herself and I was very anxious for her safety. I think she is one of my all time fictional characters.
This book had enough twists to keep me guessing and holding my breath. There were so many things I never saw coming. I highly recommend this story.

I was given Book two in the Sarah Milton Chronicles, Fidelis in Aeternum by J.B Cameron in exchange for an honest review. I thought the first book Reading The Dead was good this one is even better.
After attending her fathers wedding Sarah gets home to find a frantic voicemail from her former partners wife. It turns out Dan has been arrested for a murder he didn't commit. After a little detective work Sarah is convinced it's the work of The Fancy Dress Killer, but how is that possible when the convicted killer Harry Sands is still in jail.With the help of her sidekick Anna Nigma the gutsy ghost, Sarah is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery and free her friend.
This comic duo never fails to get a laugh out of me even while facing certain death.J.B Cameron somehow manages to intertwine fantasy with crime thriller without it seeming ridiculous, lovers of both genres will enjoy this series. I give it 5 stars, you can find it at amazon for a low price.

I received a copy of this story in exchange for a honest review. The first book in this series was good but this one is better. The characters are more developed and the storyline flows smoother. The murder mystery had a stronger paranormal component with the involvement of several different evil spirits. Overall enjoyable read.
