This was a very strange book. I read it to the end because I felt I had to just to see if it ended up making sense. I'm still not sure if I liked it or not.

Spoiler.....soul sucking ghosts and a deal with the devil. I wasnt fond of how the characters kept being put to sleep or how they couldnt remember things. The story was going good until the last 50+ pages and kinda tanked from there :-( glad it was free.

I was surprised at how well this book kept my interest! It was a mix of mystery and paranormal. The biggest complaint I have is that nothing was really explained. I'm still confused about what happened in the book. I know that there is a second book that might explain it. However, I am leery about purchasing it because it still might not explain it....

What an odd book. Talk about being kept in suspense; the entire story kept me in suspense until the end. Psychically-gifted people (aura readers, seeing the dead/mediums), a 'haunted' house, missing people (from 100 years in the past), love, etc. This book had a lot going for it. Mystery, suspense, romance, ghosts/hauntings, psychics, and possibly demons or at least an evil being (the book doesn't really tell what the being is). This is supposedly only the first book in a series.

The book was okay, but not great. It's not something I would pick up a second time, and I'm not compelled to purchase the sequel.

Great bang for the buck, I can not wait to read the next one to see what happens and hopefully get answers to all my questions. Good ending, but definately not over. I dont usually dig ghost stories but this was just the right amount of creepy and suspense. There were only a couple of spots I felt were too repetitious or corny and read quickly to carry on with the story. Good read.

I really enjoyed this book because the author kept me guessing, kept me engaged and did an excellent job with the story. I liked the different take the author chose for her subject matter because it's not a "standard" ghost story. Once in a blue moon you'll run across the best movie or book about a certain genre and this one did that for me. I'll definitely be watching to see what else this talented author has coming out. Oh, and yes, I will pick up the other two books in the series. I'd easily recommend the book to anyone who wants a great story and a bit of horror. Kudos to Ms. Smith!

It always frustrates me when i can tell something the charactes cant then when they figure it out its too late. However, with this story and its plot is just amazing! It has so many twists i just got absorbed. Loved it.

What the cover promises the story delivers. This book was filled to the brim with suspense and mystery. The characters were well formatted, and was brought to life with the depth the author describes. The Pace was nice, and the plot was well formed. The ending was a little creepy but set it up nicely for a squeal. It'll leave you salivating for the next. This is a great Paranormal Romance for readers who are looking for a little more. - Were Vamps Romance Reviews

Meh... got confusing towards the end; I'm under the impression to have caught many grammar errors too.
The story entertains up to a certain point then it looses traction. I did not truly enjoy but I read it through the end.

I rated this book low for a couple of different reasons.
The first reason is a common mistake I see in a lot of these books - the leading male character has a "chiseled chin with a dimple" blah blah blah. I am so tired of this "mousey woman meets hunky professional man who immediately falls in love with her" trope in cozies. Add in the cliched descriptions of the man and the interactions between the two, and it just ruins the whole book.
Secondly, the plot started out somewhat interestingly, with a few glaring issues. The protagonist is annoying unperceptive, and takes most everyone and everything at face value (if she can't see their auras, but of course she doesn't puzzle too long over what is a vital clue in the story!). When the plot speeds up towards the end of the book, it gets sillier and sillier, makes very little sense (I can't say more without giving away the plot), and the ending was so disappointing it kind of made me angry.
It's as if the author took several different horror cliches and threw them all together at the end. Far from being a cliff-hanger, the ending just made me vow not to read any more books in this series. I didn't get the impression the plot was well-thought-out at all.
I cannot recommend this book.
