About this book

The house always remembers...

Historian Carrie Jo Jardine possesses a rare and dangerous gift: she dreams the past. Vivid, immersive visions pull her into the lives of those who came before, revealing secrets long buried in dust and shadow.

When wealthy entrepreneur Ashland Stuart hires her to restore the crumbling antebellum mansion known as Seven Sisters in historic Mobile, Alabama, Carrie Jo expects a challenging renovation project filled with Southern history and architectural puzzles. Instead, she encounters restless spirits and a mystery that refuses to stay in the past.

As Carrie Jo settles into the grand old house, her dreams intensify, drawing her deeper into the tragic story of Calpurnia Cottonwood—the young heiress who vanished from Seven Sisters decades earlier under mysterious circumstances. Piece by piece, the visions unveil a tale of love, betrayal, family secrets, abuse, and a disappearance that shattered the Cottonwood legacy.

With each dream, the line between past and present grows thinner. Shadows stir within the mansion’s walls, and the ghosts of Seven Sisters are not content to remain silent. As Carrie Jo races to uncover the truth before history repeats itself, she risks losing her heart to Ashland—and possibly her life to forces she cannot control.

Atmospheric, suspenseful, and richly layered with Southern Gothic charm, Shadows Stir at Seven Sisters weaves together paranormal mystery, historical intrigue, and simmering romance. Perfect for readers who love haunted houses, psychic sleuths, multi-generational family sagas, and the lingering power of the past.

This is the third book in the Seven Sisters series. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone, the story builds on events from the earlier books for the deepest experience.

Reader Reviews

I can't stop reading!

July 28, 2024

The first book is fabulous and as soon as it ends, you have to start reading the second one. As soon as it ends you have to start reading the third! The books are wonderful. There is mystery, heart pounding intrigue, love... I can't say enough about how good this series is. I am a voracious reader and I almost don't want to finish because the series is so good. More, more, more! )

4 Stars because 5 stars are reserved for my absolute favorite books.

This is the 3rd and final book in the series. Other reviews I have read about the series grumbled because books one and two just stopped and you had to buy the next one to finish the story. This is true but I got book 1 for free and books 2 and 3 for 2.99 each so I wasn't upset at all. I just paid 6 bucks for a really good book. The plot was interesting and kept my attention and I enjoyed the read. )

Satisfying Book 3

February 9, 2024

In this continuing story of the Seven Sisters saga, the quest for answers continues. Where is Calpurnia? CJ continues her look back in history to find answers. This one does not end in a cliffhanger. It is a great read with a wonderful conclusion. It will be a series I continue to read. If you like historical reads, you will be delighted in this page turning series. )

Great read.

This 3 book series was well written, held my interest and I read all three in a couple days. They are on the shorter side but so well worth every penny. I would love to see a book 4 come out. I read the reviews before starting the series and several folks rated it low because of the length of the book. It is OUR responsibility as the buyer to research things like ratings, length, prices etc and it is unfair to an author to rate a well written and worthy book low because someone didn't take a...

I did enjoy the book

March 25, 2015

I just finished this book, which is book three in the series. I did enjoy the book. The author can hold your interest and has promise as an author. The caveat here is that all three of these books really only amount to one complete book. The first two volumes are about 150 pages each, and the third only 108 pages. Each of the first two books stops abruptly in the middle of the narrative.I actually love reading series, but felt cheated with this one. It was certainly not a novel with sequels,...
