Taking a secret to the grave doesn’t mean what it used to.
When a resurrection goes awry in a cold Seattle cemetery, mother-of-three Patricia Ramos-Waites finds herself possessed by the ghost of her sister’s dead lover.
God forbid her only problem be sharing her body with Dead Marco. Yesterday Patricia was worried about her teenage son’s new deadbeat friends and putting her kids through college; today she’s become the target of a Central American drug-smuggling gang who desperately want to get their hands on the ghost she’s hosting.
On top of all this, Patricia is beginning to suspect that either Marco is an exceptionally powerful spirit, or she has ghost-handling abilities that haven’t been seen in centuries.
Will Patricia be able to stay out of the crosshairs long enough to fix this botched resurrection?
Is there anything Jessie Kwak CAN’T do? She had me glued to the page for this arresting paranormal thriller, set in a world where ghosts are real, resurrections are regulated, and curses hold dire consequences. I loved the combination of sisterly drama and supernatural suspense, and practically read it in one sitting. One of my favorite books of the year. – kateran
The premise is unlike anything I’ve ever come across, but it’s so well written that the paranormal features of this otherwise common, current world all make sense. Well formed characters, quality dialogue, page-turning plot. 5 stars. – Jesse
Two sisters, one involved in the world of the dead, one just trying to be a good mother. A summoning gone wrong embroils them in a tale of possession, gangs and necromancy.
Not my usual genre, but I really enjoyed it.
