In the second part, with Angelica Cross still on the run, multiple vampiric murders lead to the kidnapping of a famous vamp. Detective Danny Mancini must drag a mortal into the bowels of Hell in order to rescue her.

Nothing is better than a great read that weaves time, characters and action together without dropping a stitch! Lily Luchesi has done that and more with RIGHT TO SILENCE as we head into a two-part tale that is equal parts edgy and very dark. As Angelica struggles with her vampirism and Danny becomes isolated from her, we are invited to see the previous lives of hunters Brighton and Mark. While Brighton knows all, he protects his lover, Mark from knowing their pasts. Is he truly keeping Mark safe from heartbreak of knowledge or the dangers they face today? What else is Brighton hiding? Is sharing what he knows with Danny a good idea?
With the spotlight in “part two” on Angelica is “missing,” and the death count is rising for vampires. Are these murders connected to Angelica? Is she on the hunt? Is she finally accepting that she is a part of the great prophecy? Has her time come to act? Will Danny’s actions cause him to lose the one woman he loves? Can Danny return to a “normal” life where the PID does not exist?
Lily Luchesi is a strong and creative author who has managed to create several subplots, journey to the past and back and still keep her tale flowing along with all of the thrills of white water rafting! Often dark, even bloody, a cast of supernaturals make this tale almost breathe fire. Edgy world-building, wicked villains that don’t quit and a true test of love through darkness and light. Ride first class on this supernatural journey from Lily Luchesi.

I gotta say, this story started off with a bang! There are a rash of murders in the community and all clues lead to "monsters". Flashing between the past and present, this story is told in two parts and the readers are introduced to the hunters and the hunted. There are werewolves, vampires, Psis, etc. and some vampires are holding grudges that have lasted centuries. Even through a hunter's reincarnation, which is another story entirely. There's plenty of blood, gore, mystery and suspense to whet most appetites. There's also love. Love so deep that it survives death.
For me, it was hard to connect with this story. I'm unsure if it's because A) the time jumps, B) the number of plots going on simultaneously, or C) the fact that I hadn't read the previous books of the series. I'm leaning closer to option C. While it was entertaining, I found it difficult to sit back and enjoy it because many of the references made were lost on me.
This story is dark and depraved. Macabre would probably be a better descriptor. However, the love that permeated the plot was undeniable.

This is by far my favorite read of them all!!
The characters in this story were remarkable and still made me fall in love with them even more. I even loved learning about lifetime history of the love between Brighton Sands and Mark Evans and also the twisted Leander Price and how they all become part of the story.
The story-line was phenomenal. The author was a pure genus bringing forth the story of Brighton and Mark, and letting us not only get their backstory, but allowing us to live in their reincarnated love story. Also throwing in parts of how Leander Price became part of these characters lives was another real shocker too. There were lots of sadness in this story. My heart simply broke for these characters. I literally cried from beginning to end of this book. And like before, this cliffhanger has me craving more once again and once again, I will wait.

Lily never disappoints! Each book in the Paranormal Detectives Series has gotten better than the last. I have to say Right To Silence is my favorite of them all though. I didn't want this one to end. I had to force myself to stop reading after a few chapters just so I could prolong finishing the book. There's so much intensity, action, detemination, love, hate, twists and turns that you will be left begging for one more page. I was on the edge of my seat from begining to end and loved every intense minute of it. Well done, Lily! I very highly recommend purchasing and reading Right To Silence.

This was the best one of the series, yet! There are so many twists and turns, and you'll probably not even see them coming. I read this one all in one "sitting", as I just couldn't put it down. The genius that is Luchesi strikes again!

WOW. Although I knew that this story was coming to an end I did not expect what I read. Grittier, heart-wrenching, punching you right in the guts and having you wonder if you will ever be able to recover from this book. The author re-introduces us to two new characters that we were first introduced to in the previous book who take the lead in this story; Brighton and Mark. These two are absolutely delectable and watching their story unfold is breathtaking.
Danny and Angelica's story continues and continues to rip our hearts out. Although her reasoning was sound for leaving, it still hurts to watch. Angelica is more darker this time around and even more intriguing is her part in this book.
This is a roller-coaster of a book so hold on for dear life as you take on the twist and turns, and a couple more surprises!
This continues to be an amazing read and if I could recommend it any higher I would!

I can't believe it took me this long to read this book. I've had it ordered since January but being an adult gets in the way of all the fun things. I've been a fan of this series for awhile. I just adore Angelica. Her development continues to grow as each book progresses. It has been fun to watch. I still love Danny too don't get me wrong but Angelica will always be my favorite. What I really enjoyed about this book was getting to know Brighton and Mark's story. I love how the author keeps adding layers to the series. I look forward to reading the next book in the series because it is fast paced and interesting.

(Please note that this is a dual review with C.)
It's so hard to believe that we started reading the Paranormal Detective series during the summer of 2015! Taking a step back in order to put everything into perspective, it's truly astonishing how far Angelica's story has come, and it's even more painful knowing that it will soon end. Right to Silence is a killer installment, though, that packs the biggest punch yet, and to be perfectly honest, we're emotionally reeling right now. We can't even quite say when or rather if we'll get out heads back on straight! Luchesi made this book grittier and more heart-wrenching than any of her previous works, and we can't promise readers will ever truly recover!
The first half of the book featured two rather new characters we had the pleasure of encountering for the first time in Life Sentence, both whom C and I immediately took a liking to: Brighton and Mark. There are no words to describe how ecstatic we were to see these two take center stage! There's something about them that makes them so darn lovable. Seeing their relationship unfold despite the fact that they didn't come into the series until later was a truly welcoming surprise as they inexplicably found a way to permanently worm their way into our hearts as if it was easy. How they met and fell in love in the nineteenth century only to be ripped apart and brought back together again in the twenty-first century squeezes our hearts with all the feels. (Forbidden romance and second chances certainly have their appeal!) Every kiss, every embrace, every laugh the two shared brought a smile to our lips and a warmth to the story. WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!! The way Mark completely accepts Brighton in all of his bluntness . . . the way Brighton buys Mark books even though Brighton doesn't approve of them . . . the way Mark inexplicably calms Brighton down and centers him . . . the way Brighton won't let anything happen to hurt Mark again . . . It's just too many feels to take for one person! The two are perfect in every way possible, especially when they're together. I mean they're so . . . they're just . . . they're . . . UGH! We don't have the words! They're possibly one of our favorite couples of all time now, okay?! And NO, there is no such thing as feeling too many feels!
Mark and Brighton's story affected us more deeply than we can possibly express, which for a reader is high praise!
Who knew Luchesi would do this to us? Her use of including diverse couples (whether it be through gender or species) is phenomenal! She's not afraid to shy away from M/M relationships and add diversity to her stories. (Plus there are a few more surprises in this department, but no spoilers!)
Can we get some applause over here? We adore her!
And that ending to Part One! Wh-?! AGONY!
The feels and dare I say . . . sadness . . . are also inexpressible. I, B, have a confession to make. Not many books can make me tear up, with the exception of Pushing the Limits, but Mark and Brighton's story did. On. Multiple. Occasions. I don't like to cry! (But if anybody asks, it was allergies.) Those feels and emotions associated with that ending nearly toppled me, and I didn't know if I would ever get up again. I think a piece of my heart died at that point. Seriously.
Part Two was difficult, too, as stability had not yet been reached. But we made it here for you all today. Danny is trying to live life post Angelica's leaving, and moving on after the love of your life left you for your safety is as difficult as you would imagine, that is to say: not easy. Poor guy. With Angelica, she's darker and more intriguing than ever. The ending of book three left you hanging with an ominous, yet to be explored prophecy hanging in the back of our minds most likely regarding her, and book four is here to explore this further. All of our main characters are stripped raw and vulnerable at one point or another, and we get to see who they truly are or who they might turn out to be.
Setting the story in two parts was unique and highly enjoyable. You get to further examine both the past and the present, blending together a riveting plot line that leaves you immersed and highly captivated from page one. New characters enter the scene and gaps are filled in that were purposely left open from the previous novels. There are the twists and the turns and then more of the twists and the turns. Plus, there were some exciting references! Lily Luchesi included more Supernatural ones, plus Sherlock and Cirque du Freak ones, too!!!! Fandoms will surely be happy.
We can't be more proud of how far this series has come and where it will take us. Lily Luchesi continues to perfect her writing and storytelling process into sheer perfection, moving readers more and more with each new installment. Right to Silence is our favorite Paranormal Detective book yet, and if this book was any indication of how Luchesi can connect readers to her characters, we can't even imagine how she will affect us in the future! (We'll probably be obliterated with feels by the end!)
Don't waste anymore time if you haven't started these books yet! You'll certainly regret it. Just grab the books, sit back, and enjoy the marvelous ride!

This entire series was a great read. I'm looking forward to another book about Angelica as empress, especially needing to know if she'll embrace the dark side. I felt that Danny and Angelica had a unique love. Awesome read.

I have a serious problem with several parts of this book. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it. The author knows how to make every one of her readers feel death 1 million times over. The trip was undeniably unexpected. I’m frightened to see what will come next.
November 29, 2016
Again Lily rocks it by having a seamless transition between books. We pretty much pick up where we left off in Life Sentence. Angelica has left the area and has had no contact at all with Danny. He is not sure if she's alive, well or what.
Things start to get interesting when an author suddenly disappears and PID is getting ready to step in and assist. A fan of the author comes to PID to get their help to find the author, who writes paranormal stories. Looks like a trip to Hell is in order!!
We get to see how the rest of the characters are doing, Mark, Brighton, Bart, Leander and a few others. Again the team does wonders in trying to save the local area from vampires who aren't playing by the rules, however there is a twist - of course there is! Angelica finds out that someone is telling the vampires that she is coming back to aid the vampires in taking over.
So much action, lots of gore and a bit of torture - they aren't very nice in Hell.
Love this series. Lily has created a wonderful series and I can't wait for the next one.

Lily Luchesi's "Right to Silence" is the fourth tale in the Paranormal Detectives series. I think this one is the best one so far! It was brave to chance a big chunk of the novel on a M/M relationship. The plot has more and more going on...there's Hell, Legion, etc...and the ensemble cast keeps growing larger! In each tale, they vanquish mighty foes, but how will Danny and Angelica ever get past what has happened? I can not wait for #5!

This book is broken into two parts. Danny is not the only reincarnated person as part of their team. Brighton Sands and Marc Evans were both hunters in the 1800s. Brighton Sands was formerly Coroner Benjamin Quinn and Marc Evans was Docor Michael Finnigan.
Part 1 of this book explains the back story both past and present of how Brighton and Marc came to be part of the PID. I do not want to go into any more detail and give anything away.
Part 2 of this book focuses on Angelica. Angelica is currently missing and nobody knows where she is. Althought Danny is devistated, he is not giving up hope that he will find her during this life. When Vampires start turning up dead in Hollywood, the PID must step in. Danny has seen visions of a young woman being taken and tortured, and never almost a year later, a woman has gone missing and they believe it to be the woman from Danny's vision.
In order to find this woman, a trip to Hell is in order. It is not going to be easy, and it could cause a lot more problems than they ever anticipated, but it has to be done. All to soon, it is going to be Hell on Earth.
This book is extremely well written, smooth flowing and easy to read. The author does an amazing job portraying the characters, their emotions and the experiences they go through. The books do need to be read in order, and if you have not read books 1-3, you need to read them first.
This book and series has kept me captivated from the very first page. I can't wait to read book 5 to see what will happen next. I recommend this book and series to those who enjoy paranormal, romance, vampires, werewolves, demons, etc. Review for Mommy's Naughty Playground.

The truth could be deadly
This fourth book in The Paranormal Detectives Series takes us on 2 part journey: Part 1delvels into the past beginning in 1802, which explores Doctor Michael Finnigan and Coroner Benjamin Quinn’s first life as hunters of paranormal creatures that go bump in the night and brings the reader up to their lives in 2016. Part 2 brings us back into Ms. Angela Cross’ continued life on the move in 2016 and the dangers she faces.
The plot pace was elegant and sinuous; the characters were authentic and yet at the same time mysterious – Why does Danny bring a mortal into the bowels Hell? What role does Leander Price play in Angela Cross’ life? Will Angela and Danny ever get a “Happily Ever After” ending?
I must admit, I was very surprised by the plot twists and turns, Ms. Luchesi had me on the edge of my seat this entire book! I was not in need of caffeine to keep me awake while devouring this outstanding, riveting, thrill-ride of a tale.
Alas, Beautiful Bookworm – I’ll never tell, I do not post spoilers in my reviews.
I give this book 5 Stars and highly recommend you purchase this, Wonderful Reader for your own personal library.

I must admit, I was very surprised by the plot twists and turns, Ms. Luchesi had me on the edge of my seat this entire book! I was not in need of caffeine to keep me awake while devouring this outstanding, riveting, thrill-ride of a tale.
Alas, Beautiful Bookworm – I’ll never tell, I do not post spoilers in my reviews.
I give this book 5 Stars and highly recommend you purchase this, Wonderful Reader for your own personal library.

Right to Silence is the fourth mind bending enthralling story in the Paranormal Detectives Series. Though this series is centered on Angelica and Danny, this book deals a lot with those close to them, therefore we get to see how different relationships influence them individually and as a team. This is the second time in this series that I cried and I have a feeling it won’t be the last. As I read this series, I become more intrigued about this sub-world that lives right beside us. I start to look at the people walking on the street a little differently imagining them to be anything other than human. That is what these books have done, gotten into my brain, settled in and I love it.
I easily say that this is a four-star book. The backstories of these characters are so well done that it seems to flow effortlessly. I’m sure that was not an easy feat. As I have read this book and hence the series, I come to appreciate the details in these wonderfully detailed pages. I am easily immersed in a story that grips me and one I never want to be finished.

Lily Luchesi outdid herself on this one!
The two parter was by far the heaviest...in all respects. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster! This book is a gamut of inchoate emotions...confusion, anger, lust, love, joy, redemption...not to mention the mixed bag of emotions that comes along with sacrifice. You find yourself questioning the decisions of several characters, and some of them made me think, "Hey wait, you are supposed to be the HERO!" and then, the thought that follows that one is "I may not agree wholeheartedly with the actions you took, but if you hadn't made that call, how fucked up would the situation be?"
The things I love about Luchesi's books is that she eschews all Hollywood endings, and if you get the joyous scenes, they come at a steep price. While that is refreshing, I sometimes still find myself screaming, "Come on, Lily...Hollywood it just this ONCE!" and Lily, through her writing, sweetly whispers, "Nope."
I can't say enough outstanding things about this book, this series, and this author. She h

This Series Continues to Thrill
Angelica Cross is back with a vengeance! Different than the earlier books in the series, but since it was meant to be two separate books, it makes perfect sense. The story continues to grow and twist. I don't know where it's going, but I can't wait to find out.

Lily is a Paranormal genius. This series is one of the best I have ever read. Can't wait to read the next one. Too bad it is the last one. Maybe one day, Lily will do an encore Paranormal Detective #6???

Lily Luchesi's "Right to Silence" is the fourth tale in the Paranormal Detectives series. I think this one is the best one so far! It was brave to chance a big chunk of the novel on a M/M relationship. The plot has more and more going on...there's Hell, Legion, etc...and the ensemble cast keeps growing larger! In each tale, they vanquish mighty foes, but how will Danny and Angelica ever get past what has happened? I can not wait for #5!

In the first half of this book we learn more about the past-life and present-life history between Brighton and Mark. I quite enjoyed reading how the two originally met and how their souls found each other a second time. Chapter seven was a highlight for me. I really enjoyed the Brighton & “brother” reunion.
The second half of the book picks up where Life Sentence finished. We catch back up with Danny and the PID, see an ancient vampiric prophecy come to light and lose way too many supporting characters. Danny and Angelica spend a lot of the pages questioning each other and themselves, but that all seems to be settled by the end and the book finishes with the characters closer than ever.
Time Jumps: While some readers might find the time jumps in the story rather abrupt, I’m extremely impatient so the approach suited me and I found they really pushed the pace of the story along.
Loose Ends: I can’t help but thinking what’s to stop Leander from being resurrected, but that is just the pessimist in me.
Cliff-hanger: New unknown male villain introduced right at the end – seriously on the last page!
Mature Audiences Only: Right To Silence is a fast paced paranormal-horror-action-romance where everybody swears like sailors and gets slaughtered. But even amid all the violence and revenge seeking, the power of love, loyalty and friendship shine through.
In my reviews of the previous books I’ve said that I felt they could standalone. With this fourth installment I think you need to read the previous books or the depth of the character’s connections and references made to past events will be lost on you.

Ms. Luchesi has did it again. Wrote a story that will pull you in and keep you on the edge of your seat.
I loved that we got to learn more about the secondary characters. It starts out learning about the past of Brighton and Mark. This also leads to learning more about the vampire hunters of the past. This was a tragic and loving story. We get more of Danny and Angelica also. I have read all of the books in this series and feel like the characters are friends. In this book I wanted to shake Danny for some of the decisions he makes. As we learn more about the secondary characters there are some new characters brought into the story. As the PID is trying to find out what Leander Price wants with Angelica she struggles with her new life.
There is plenty of action and angst in this story. This story is more gritty, full of angst and way more intense that the past PID books. However we see more of a personal side to the secondary characters and the main characters. This was a book that once I started reading I could not put down. It was full of twists that I did not see coming and some that had me saying what the he..... As we see torture, death, gore, fighting and so much action we see the past and the future. Ms. Luchesi does a phenomenal job of writing a paranormal story that pulls you into an imaginary world that seems so read.
I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for Nerd Girl.

Another great book in the Paranormal Detectives series.
This one is a book of two halves, so you get two amazing stories for the price of one!
The first half follows Brighton and Mark's relationship through both lives, past and present, and is an emotional story, with a heartbreaking ending.
The second half picks up where Life Sentence left off, with Angelica still 'missing' and Danny trying to make a life away from her and the P.I.D. Add in multiple murders, a kidnapping, an ancient prophecy and some trips into hell and you have a book filled with action and surprising twists.
This book is somewhat darker than the previous ones in this awesome series...
...and I can't wait for the next one.

Hell is Coming!
Book 4 in the series and this time we find out the history between Mark and Brighton as well as continuing the story where the previous book ended.
There is a lot going on in this book, ranging from sweet to truly horrific. The pace increases as it progresses until the shocking final chapter. The epilogue drops back down and leaves a cliffhanger.
I enjoyed the story, though I'm not sure I was meant to dislike one of the characters as much as I did, and I was satisfied by the outcome in the main. Collateral damage is to be expected in the paranormal world.

WOW!
Ok this one was written a little different. It's in two parts, the first mainly follows Michael and Ben back in early 1800's . The second is the present with all the regular characters. I'll try not to give away too much, this one had a fairly high body count with some highly unexpected deaths. Leander's story line is wrapped up but in regular fashion there's a new unknown big bad for next book. Even with the surprise deaths (and subsequent tears) this was by far my favorite book this series so far. The range of emotions you get put through in this book is like a rollercoaster! Excellent!
