Tess Corona left home thanks to a traumatic experience with the paranormal and has only recently returned home from a secretive military career. Her only desire is to reconnect with her family and find meaningful work. That plan changes when a Texas Ranger lands on her doorstep looking for her twin brother.

Thanks to the suspicious actions of a murder victim’s family, Texas Ranger Crock Ward is asked to investigate the twenty-five-year-old case. With the evidence missing and victim’s husband now deceased, Crock seeks alternatives to solve the murder in the form of Dr. Lazaro Corona and his ghost hunting team.

Laz has dreamed of combining cold cases with paranormal investigation, but he curses the timing. He can’t stop Tess from resuming her role in his investigation any more than he can stop a tornado or a century-old feud that has already destroyed one family and now threatens his.

5 stars!

The story is riveting, and I wasn’t about to put this book down until the final page was completed … or turn out any lights either.

And They Danced by author Tiffany Seitz is an exciting new Texas-set paranormal mystery featuring twin paranormal investigators, Tess and Laz Corona, and a hunky Texas Ranger, Sergeant D. Crockett “Crock” Ward. The story is so well-told and compelling; the pages flew by, and so did several hours!

Tess Corona is an outstanding leading character with a great backstory. She’s an Army veteran with PTSD, but that’s one of the first twists encountered in this story. Her condition is due to events that occurred during her childhood and high school, leading to her military service. Tess can see, hear, and interact with the spirits she and her brother scare up during their ghostly investigations. While Tess escaped the trauma of their last case by going into the military, Laz stayed close to home to study at TCU, where he is now an adjunct professor. Both brother and sister, despite her ten-year absence, are deeply family-oriented, but what a family it is! Readers can’t help but laugh at the antics and situations involving Gram and little Tilo.

Crock Ward, on light duty after an on-the-job injury and assigned to verify the details of a decades-old cold-case murder, is a sweetheart wrapped in the conservative and staunch veneer of a Texas Ranger. I loved his relationship dynamics with Tess and Laz, his company captain, and even his salty neighbor, Hell. Although he initially projects the traditional cool, no-nonsense demeanor we’ve come to expect from a Texas Ranger, Crock has depth. He’s recently experienced some unexplained phenomena that have opened his eyes to the possibility of the paranormal being real. (I also laughed at his “Aggie” side remarks about the TCU Horned Frog mascot.)

While the two Coronas fight like brother and sister (naturally), Crock attempts to keep things professional and on task. However, they perform well as a team, and I hope to see them all return for another adventure.

The plot of the investigation takes readers around the western and southwestern parts of the DFW metroplex: Joshua, Burleson, and Irving, to name a few, and I’d love to know if there was a physical inspiration for the Green’s Crown Hotel. (Although set in Joshua, it reminded me a lot of the Liberty Hotel and their ghostly rumors (roomers) in nearby Cleburne.) The paranormal incidents are suitably creepy and had me hearing weird noises in the house as I read. But the story is riveting, and I wasn’t about to put this book down until the final page was completed or turn out any lights either.

I recommend AND THEY DANCED to mystery readers who enjoy a touch of the paranormal in their stories, especially those who live in the Fort Worth/Tarrant County/Johnson County area of Texas.
