About this book

Hurrying to the old bridge that crossed Yellow Creek, Courtney stepped to the side as a car came up behind her. The bridge was only wide enough for one car and even foot traffic had to climb up on the narrow ledge for safety. The car slowed and the driver’s side window rolled down. A familiar face greeted Courtney.

“Hey, Courtney, how about a ride?” he asked.

She shook her head. “No, thanks, I’m good,” she said. “It’s only a few more blocks.”

The driver looked up to the sky. “You won’t make it before the storm hits,” he argued. “Come on, I’ll feel guilty all night if I leave you here.”

She smiled. “Okay, if you put it that way,” she agreed, jogging over to the passenger side of the car and letting herself in.

The door lock clicked as she buckled her seatbelt and she looked up in surprise. “It does that automatically,” the driver said with an apologetic shrug.

Courtney scooted against the door and grasped the handle. “You know, I think I’ll just walk anyway,” she said, pulling against the handle.

But the door didn’t open. She tried it again, but it was still locked tight.

“Child locks,” the driver said, a smile on his face. “You can’t get out until I let you out.”

She pressed the window button, but it also stayed in place. “Listen, I don’t want to be in this car,” she said firmly. “Now please let me out or I’m going to scream.”

He chuckled softly, leaned forward and placed his hand against her cheek, rubbing it intimately. “If you scream, no one will hear you,” he said, as he slipped his hand down to her neck. “But you can do it if you like. I always love to hear a girl’s scream.”

For ten years, young girls have been disappearing from the streets of Freeport and the surrounding towns. Can Mary solve the mystery before Clarissa is the next victim?

Another Wonderful Work by Terri Reid

July 30, 2013

Again another great work by Terri in her series about Mary and Bradley. However, this one is more Clarissa, and the adjustment a child makes to having a world turned upside down and having a step-parent suddenly there. Having lived the step-parent thing, I can say that Terri got it spot on. As I had mentioned to the author I was confused because I thought Mary and Bradley's story was done and we were moving on to Sean, but I have to state this story was needed as Clarissa's story needed to play...

Bumpy Road Indeed

August 1, 2013

As a reader I worry that a series will disappoint me as it continues. This book delivers. The story picks up upon the return of Mary & Bradley from their honeymoon. Family life is a bit bumpy because Clarrissa does have a personality change in this book and that is expected given how much she has gone through. She accepted the change in dynamics very easily in earlier books but now we see the inner battle and she becomes obstinate. Mary understands this and is very patient with her. Bradley...

Enjoyable instalment

September 13, 2013

It's a great little series and this instalment continues to let us get to know the characters even more. At this point they all feel like members if my family. There's love, fear, humour, emotional struggles and a nice dash of ghost. If you want a book to challenge your thinking pop into something else. If you want to relax and get lost in a story for a little while, jump on in. I liked it and will buy any future reads from the author )

Mary O'reilly ParAnormal Investigator

September 21, 2013

This is review is for all the Mary O'reily paranormal Mysteries by Terri Reid. There is 11 books so, far of which I have read all starting with book one and finally to the last one, book 11. I have laughed, cried but mostly I have enjoyed each book. In the first book we meet Mary O'reily an investigator who not only is smart as she is beautiful but, she can also speak to ghosts who are her clients. She helps them move on to a place where they need to be. Some people believe her others think...

Another great book for the series

February 2, 2014

I've read a lot of negative reviews about this book, but I loved it. Terri Reid still sucks her readers in, and makes us see a different side of the \"perfect family\" Mary has become a part of. There are bounds to be some bumps in the road after all the difficulties they've been through, and so this book is appropriately named. In this book Clarissa seems to be facing all her worst fears that any child being through all these life changing tragedies would probably have. More than anything she...
