A fast-paced thriller with some supernatural romance and historical mystery mixed in, this novel was a page-turner. This was the first book by this author I have read, and I plan to keep reading other works by her now as well. The supernatural ghost story with the historical tidbits make

Have you ever heard something go bump in the night? Seen a ghost? Wondered if you were really alone though you knew the house was empty? I have…and so has Dr. Eve St. Clair. This book has thrills, chills, and links to history that made it a fascinating read.
What I
* Eve St. Clair: divorced, moved to England to live in the house she inherited from her uncle, setting up a new psychology practice, very uncomfortable in the house she is living in
* Ransom King: widow, billionaire, owner of Paranormal Investigations located in Seattle, still grieving, would like to know more about what lies beyond
* The Paranormal Investigations team and the parts they played in unearthing the cause of disturbances in Eve’s home and a nearby building
* Wondering if this is the first in a new series as there were characters mentioned that did not have parts in this story and characters that I would like to know more about that were integral to the book
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing that allowed tidbits to be exposed in a timely manner – they drew me in and made me want to know more
* The fact that the story was rooted in history and learning about a tragic event I had never heard of before
* Thinking about what might lie beyond and what happens after death…are there ghosts and entities and demons and such…or…not
* Thinking that there is a way that earthbound spirits, if they exist, might find their way to the light
* That there was closure at the end of the case that left me satisfied but wanting to know what will happen next in the lives of the Ransom, Eve, and the paranormal team
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about the side story that had nothing to do with the “haunting” but with evil living human predators
Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
