Winner, 2017 APA Audie Awards - Paranormal

All Aubrey Ellis wants is a normal life, one that doesn't include desperate pleas from the dead. Her remarkable gift may help others rest in peace, but it also made for an unsettling childhood and destroyed her marriage. Finally content as the real estate writer for a local newspaper, Aubrey keeps her extraordinary ability hidden - until she is unexpectedly assigned the story of a decades-old murder.

Rocked by the discovery of a young woman's skeletal remains, the New England town of Surrey wants answers. Hard-nosed investigative reporter Levi St John is determined to get them. Aubrey has no choice but to get involved, even at the terrifying risk of stirring spirits connected to a dead woman's demise and piquing her new reporting partner's suspicions.

As Aubrey and Levi delve further into the mystery, secrets are revealed and passion ignites. It seems that Aubrey's ghost gifts are poised to deliver everything but a normal life.

I gave this book three stars only because the story itself was okay. But this was so poorly written with so many beginner writing mistakes that I was surprised it actually won an award.
Another reviewer mentioned Aubrey's name being used numerous times. That drove me nuts. Even when the character was in a scene by herself, the author continued to use her name as if the reader might forget who's there.
Also, numerous times there were those disembodied body parts like: "Eyes drifted" or "Arms flayed" or "Hands waved in the air".
And lines like this: "Her probe into Levi's life halted the one into her finger." Gulp.
Or this: "...continuing with weighty facts before her bottom could make contact with the chair." Eyes rolling.
And don't get me started on the breathy narration.

Poorly Written

This was a pleasent read, nicely written.
I actually liked that it wasn't horror, the story was focused more on the interior struggles of the protagonist.
I liked that the background of the characters was unveiled gradually, but not excessively.
What I liked a bit less was that it was a bit predictable at times.

All in all it's a story worth reading, but I would strongly recommend listening to it, because I think the narrator did a fantastic job with this book and added a lot of value to the story.

Good read, fantastic narration

This story is full of action and constantly changing situations. You never quite know what will happen next and it keeps you on your toes right to the very end! It also changes back and forth twenty years but there is no confusion and the change is seam!ess. The hero talks to ghosts. They seek her out for her help in corecting something they have left undone. Is this "a special" gift or a curse? So this book is not only a "who done it" but a love story, has a carni, a haunted house and an accused, tried and jailed man who continues to claim his innocents! Can't wait for the next book.

Quite a gift, or is it?

I enjoyed this book a great deal more than I thought I would when I first began reading. The suspense was addicting, and I grew to love the main character. I kept thinking Levi was going to end up being a bad buy, and was pleasantly surprised when he stayed true to his character. Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry
