Psychic medium Addison Lockhart jolts awake, her brow sweaty, head throbbing. The dream had seemed so real. The twins, 11-year-olds Vivian and Grace, were so full of life that she wanted to reach out, touch them. But she couldn't. The girls had been dead for 40 years. Why, then, had they appeared to her, summoning her help? Were their untimely deaths really an accident, or was something far more sinister to blame?

A great story
I loved this story. The idea of talking with spirits is creepy but Pete was different. He sure put Riley through a lot of turmoil. Riley & her boyfriend, along with some other friends did a great thing helping Pete. The author did a greeccat job of creating believable & lovable characters. The story kept me turning the pages anxiously waiting to see what happened. I will be reading more from this author. I highly reccomend this book.

Wish 10 stars was an option!
Absolute love!! This story was down right scary at times and I had to stop listening and regroup myself. The character of ORIN...creepy scary. The story is just fantastic! I loved Pete, and Riley, Michael and Jade. I NEED these people in my life! I'm gonna need this to be a series! Narration was perfect and I loved that there was male AND female voices...Give this a listen. You won't regret it!

Riley Sees Dead People!
Riley Thomas reluctantly gets pressured into going with her friends for a fun weekend visit to a ranch home of a deceased serial killer. The ranch had been turned into a tourist spot for amateur paranormal investigators due to a popular TV reality show. Riley’s friends are all excited about spending a weekend together hearing spooky ghost stories and getting away from the real world of marriage and kids. But Riley has a secret, she can actually see and communicate with ghosts. On the drive to the ranch Riley tries to convince herself that maybe the ranch is all just a fake publicity stunt to make money but as soon as they arrive, she finds out it is all too real. Ripley’s encounter with the ghost of a young boy leads her on an investigation to find answers about his death which puts her into the crosshairs of a killer. If you enjoy ghost/paranormal stories you will really enjoy this audiobook. Narration by Victoria Villarreal and David Clifford Turner is excellent. I hope the author continues the Riley Thomas storyline… I’m looking forward to her next book. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

So Good
I liked how the author gave us insight into the little things the characters were thinking. I found the story engaging and clever. It was hard to guess what was going to happen next, which was fun! The way it was written, I felt as though I was standing among them as they talked. Like I was at their eye level and not observing as a listener. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to seeing more from her. New fan!

A Excellent Suspense Mystery with Ghosts Too!!
I like a Really Good Ghost Story and one of those authors is H. P. Bayne. This author Melissa Erin Jackson is written in a similar vein though of course their writing styles differ. The MC is a young woman who has always been sensitive to sports and this scared her so badly she wants nothing to do with it. With her friends wanting to go to a ranch that is haunted, she does not want to go but ends up talked into it anyway. Narrator did a lovely job on the voices of the characters and the storyline.
