Review
This is the second in a series about a woman who discovers her psychic abilities but uses them to help ghosts move on to a better place.
This story was fascinating and had ties to the Underground Railroad in her town. However, not everyone in town is on board with uncovering the secrets at the library. I won’t say who or why, you’ll have to read the book for that information. But it is understandable that this character didn’t want the family name drug through the mud for something an ancestor had done. However, the actions of this character might lead one to believe there is a nefarious plot to stop the search for the strange noises coming from the library.
We have many of the main characters return in this second book, including Joanna’s children, the psychic support group, and her contractor Sal. They are all instrumental in helping uncover the truth. However, her support group tends to cause more trouble due to their excitement about the situation and just wanting to be involved. Some people just can’t follow directions!
I enjoyed the mystery and felt that the story was well laid out. It moved at a constant pace, not too fast or too slow.
While I am normally on the fence when it comes to paranormal stories, I have enjoyed this series and can’t wait to see what the author has planned next.
We give this book 4 paws up.
