Publisher Description
I was eighteen when I died.
I was mere moments from throwing down a full house and declaring victory against my elder sister, Nathalie, in the backseat of our family’s town car. Ah, how eager I was for her delicious frustration as I finally bested her. I’d waited the whole ride for it.
Disaster happened awfully fast. Crunch of metal. Hissing engine. Wheels spinning. The fleeting, noxious aromas of fetid swamp water and sultry summer air.
In that moment, I was fully conscious of my own coming death. I could feel it, smell it, taste it. There was no guiding light or angels or whatever. Nothing flashed before my eyes. No treasured memories or life review.
My mind was not wired to look back. Only forward. My fight-or-flight? Set firmly to war.
So, yes, I was eighteen when I died.
But then, at eighteen, I was reborn.

Excellent Addition to the Series
Banshee is an excellent lagniappe from Sarah Cradit that adds a new and interesting twist to her House of Crimson & Clover series.
Giselle Deschanel was one of the family members taken in a questionable car accident. However, she didn’t completely die. Her paranormal capabilities allowed her to inhabit other humans and take on their lives. With artful cunning, Giselle body-hops her way to the love of her life only to find the secret to inhabiting a little too late.
In a clever twist, Banshee ends in full circle with Giselle’s current body the same age she was when she was in the infamous Deschanel car crash. This latest installment of the House of Crimson & Clover left me excited for more of Ms. Cradit’s epic saga.
