Publisher's summary

Meet Jean ...a fiery, headstrong, redheaded ghost chaser that co-leads PASS, the Paranormal and Supernatural Society, in Shadow Valley, a winter resort town in the Northwest USA. Life there is like any other that caters to the seasonal whims of skiers during the winter and tourists off-season.

Despite spending their time creeping through the dark nooks and deep shadows of the 100+ year-old community, their insatiable craving for the supernatural and paranormal has rarely been satisfied.

Things are about to change...

Shadow Valley holds more than its share of secrets. Odd storms and Jean's intense dreams cast an air of foreboding over the biggest of PASS's investigations: that of the decaying halls of local legendarily haunted asylum, Knoll Mansion. A malevolent Entity lurks in its shadows, feeding on the life essence of the lost, the unwary and the reckless. It waits to play on the PASS team's deepest fears.

Will the revelation of Jean's Guardian Angel, Valera, and the young woman's mysterious past be enough to protect her loved ones from the coming chaos?"

Demon slaying ballerina!

Jean's ghost hunting with her friends turns out to be a much bigger deal they could have imagined. Engaged me as a reader/listener start to finish. I liked Jean and her friends and wanted them to succeed. I love that her fighting style is some kind of morph from her ballet dance training to sword combat. Me crying happened at that one part that I won't spoil. The narrator did well once she found her pacing. Overall, I really enjoyed this story.

Excellent book.

I really enjoyed the story, and even shed a tear here and there. The writing is excellent, and I enjoyed the cameos of characters from SoulChaser: Earthbound, also by Jason A. Anderson.

My only real criticism is in the performance from the narrator, Michelle Williams. She reads very slowly. So slowly, in fact, that I had to listen to the book on 1.2x speed. Her characters, for the most part, are very good, although the voice of Valera is kind of wooden.

All in all, this is a great book, and I highly recommend it for your consideration.
