About this book

Fresh out of college, Hildy James lands a dream job as a journalist for Haunted America, a multimedia powerhouse dedicated to chronicling the nation’s most terrifying paranormal hotspots. Armed with the secret ability to see and communicate with the dead, Hildy believes she is prepared for anything. Alongside her husband, Charlie, and their close-knit circle of friends, she heads to the legendary Clayton estate. She expects a routine investigation into peaceful spirits, but the house holds a much more sinister secret.

The mission quickly devolves into a chilling fight for survival when Hildy becomes the focal point of a malevolent entity. Unlike the restless ghosts of her past, this dark soul is predatory, intelligent, and desperate to keep its history buried in the shadows. As the entity begins to target her, Hildy realizes that some secrets are not meant to be uncovered, and the cost of the truth might be her own life.

Blending classic ghost story elements with the high-stakes tension of a paranormal thriller, this gripping tale offers a perfect escape for readers who crave mystery and supernatural dread. It is an atmospheric journey into the unknown that will keep you looking over your shoulder long after the final page.

Great book from hometown author

Great read. )

Grammar distracts from the story

January 22, 2019

I am really enjoying the idea behind these stories but find it very difficult to get past the bad grammar and need for editing. Perhaps this is because I am experienced at it or perhaps it is because the characters are college graduates. I hope the next book has fewer issues. Because the story itself is quite good. That said, I own all 3 of these )

This was exactly what I wanted from the first book

When I read Dark Beginnings, it just left me wanting more and it was disappointing how small it was. This one made up for it. It had the action and mystery I so desperately craved. I do hope the series continues; I've fallen in love with all of the characters (even though Hildy and Charlie were way to lovey-dovey the entire time). )

Amazing book by an even more amazing author! READ IT NOW!!

My best friend is the author, and although that could make this review biased, it's not. I loved every word of it! It is very well written. It sucks you in early and doesn't let go until the very last line. It's got love, humor, ghosts, mystery and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait for the rest of the series! ) 2 people found this helpful

Author is a preschool teacher not an English teacher.

Unique premise, Good story, characters are a little cartoonish, cast from a B movie horror film for lacking maturity. relationships are dysfunctional. Main character plays a psychological game of \"Rescue Me\" from stupid impulse. Really needs grammar correction and editing. ) One person found this helpful
