Sierra Fox thought her life would be a little easier now that she has paid off the huge debt she owed the Spook Catcher Council when she went freelance.  But if anything her life is even more complicated.  The relationship she always wanted with Jonathan is falling apart and the man who tempts her, Jason Papan, a PI, is recovering from injuries in her house to keep him safe.  If that isn’t enough, there is something strange going on with the ghosts – they are disappearing all over the city.

Sierra knows that being a spook catcher is more than just putting ghosts in lock up; she also tries to help the ghosts that she can.  Sierra with the help of Jason and her apprentice investigates what going on.  As they find out each new answer the truth gets closer and closer a place she knows very well, but just who is behind it and more important why?  Personal relationships, friends and family are at risk as Sierra and Jason finally get to the bottom of the disappearances and fight to get rid of the evil that started it all.  When the battle is over, will Jason and Sierra have a chance to see where their feelings can go or will Sierra be the next one to disappear?

When ghosts and spook catchers start disappearing, Sierra and Jason put their budding relationship at risk to hunt down the answers in Split at the Seams.  I had a feeling that Sierra and Jonathan were done when we last left them and they ended just as Sierra and Jason exploded and finally gave in to the feelings they had been trying to ignore for months now.  I wasn’t surprised that they teamed up quickly to find out what was happening to the ghosts in Sydney or that they would risk so much to protect the other person.  I will admit that I was surprised by the “why” more than the “who” when the final answers came on what was going on.  I loved how Sierra’s actions when things were looking dim to prove she really is the best spook catcher in Sydney and can defeat evil on both sides of the veil.  Split at the Seams has sexy areas, action areas and fun areas while being surrounded in suspense filled plot that will keep you wondering until the final answers are revealed.
