Publisher Description
Sometimes a house is just a house. But in the case of the mysterious Bradford mansion, the house hides just as many secrets as the people who lived in it.
Ellie Coulter possesses a supernatural gift that give clues to a person’s true intentions. It's a gift that isolated her from the rest of the world. After a tragic childhood and a failed marriage, she craves nothing more than normalcy and a regular life.
When a close friend insists on playing matchmaker, Ellie is forced out of her comfort zone. After some persistent coaxing, Ellie warms to the idea that she may have found a reason to let her defenses down, and his name is Dr. David Mitchell.
After her friend's dinner party ends on a sour note, Ellie unexpectedly finds herself the caretaker of the Bradford mansion, an impressive home that is also rumored to be haunted. Curious about the mansion’s checkered history, Ellie and David find themselves entangled in events that happened over a hundred years ago that led to the disappearance of the mansion's former owners.
Unknown to them, there's a puppet master hiding behind the scenes, pulling the strings to twist their destines and answer a dark siren call. The house has been patiently waiting for them.

Customer Reviews
Really Almost 5 star!
It had all the thrilling dynamics in it, romance, feeling of being watched, creepy dude, a reporter, an ex, then bing bang boom everything's getting stranger by the minute. You can tell its reaching the climax of the story and know that one piece will be there to trump the bad guys...epic downward spiral in a serious way. A need to read, because now it has me hoping for more in the next book.
Edge of Shadows
Great read! Good storyline and would do well as a movie! My only down was I would get distracted with the misspelling or improper grammar! Cege, you would do well to hire me as a proofreader. Unfortunately sometimes I tend to find every mistake out there! Very good book though! Thanks!
Lengthy Read
The book had very good story flow and just the right amount of information leaked to keep the reader intrigued to the mystery of the plot but I found it to be lacking in that sense as well. Some imperceptible details that were left out through out the book not being acknowledge which turned out to be quite frustrating, the storyline feeling very drawn out focusing too much on small and unnecessary details. The characters were great, they gave enough of their personality to make the reader feel as if they knew them while being suspicious of their true motives and who the mastermind could be.
