Joni Smith is a psychic medium with a penchant for trouble and a heart for the restless dead. When she trespasses onto private property to recover a locket from a shallow grave, she unintentionally crosses paths with Zeke Gregson, a skeptical detective investigating a string of chilling murders in Pendleton County. What begins as a tense interrogation quickly transforms into an uneasy alliance as they realize their investigations are dangerously intertwined.

My new favorite author!

November 21, 2021

What an easy, saucey and heart pounding read. This author has met her calling. She writes so well and it flows. The story pulls you through page by page. You won’t want to put it down and you’ll be wanting more once you finish. Thank goodness she’s written more! This is an exciting read with a few tough parts (just because of the trauma/triggers) and some really juicy sex scenes. The story has super fun twists and turns, super exciting plots and subplots with such smooth writing. This would be...

Awesome Debut Novel

November 22, 2020

This was an outstanding debut novel! I don't normally read ghost stories but I do love me a good paranormal romance. The story was very original, well-crafted and held my attention throughout. In fact, I sped through several parts more quickly because I was so eager to read how they ended! The characters were very well-defined, charming and relatable. Well, most were anyway-lol! The hero really caught my heart and I was so happy when he won the heart of the heroine.. They were pretty sweet...

Dead Reckoning a thriller surprise

March 1, 2022

I couldn't put it down and really think the missing chapter should be added back as a prologue.The author introduces a core of unique personalities that form a family of choice. This story also deals with an ugly topic of abuse and family values. Into that darkness the author shines the light of hope. Can love & faith win the day? Couldn't put it down until I knew. )

Loved this book!

This is a fabulous debut novel. If you like edge of your seat stories, with paranormal activity, romance and some humour thrown in, you will love this book. It deals with some dark subject matter but it’s done very well. The characters are strong and you will love them.... and the ending... wow... let’s just say there are some twists and turns and you will be surprised. Can’t wait for more from this series! )
