Publisher Description
Samantha Weller, a forensic scientist turned paranormal novelist, owes her life and writing career to a crow that saved her from certain death. When she buys an old bookend that looks like her avian muse, her world begins to resemble the plots of her novels.
Determined to find the mate to her bookend, Samantha and her antiquarian sidekick, Liz, go on a search leading them to the beautiful and wealthy Gwen Laraway. Samantha is instantly smitten, but the age difference has Gwen second-guessing Samantha’s interest.
Meanwhile, Liz is crushing on Gwen’s niece, Isabel. As clueless as she is sensuous, Isabel hasn’t had a date since her high school prom 10 years ago, and she’s petrified to act on her sudden attraction to Liz.
Romance seems to be blooming all around, but problems arise when a restless ghost emerges from the ether to roam the dark corners of this haunting tale that explores the possibility of immortality.
Customer Reviews
More than an interesting plot.
In addition, the author weaves into her story references to real people and ideas that I enjoyed doing parallel reading on, and learning about to enrich the narrative I was listening to. Reference to Paloma Picasso’s jewelry collections sold by Tiffany’s took me down one rabbit hole, as did references to American art pottery companies such as Rookwood Pottery.
There is also the narrator, Brittni Pope. When laughter occurs in first person dialogue, Ms Pope laughs, and what a beautiful, sensual, realistic laugh it is.
