Rachel Harroway, a homicide detective with the ability to see the dead, balances the responsibilities of being a mother alongside her life's calling to guide orphaned spirits home. Teaming up with her long time homicide partner, Jensen Peak, she hunts for the latest crafty killer to strike in her little corner of the Appalachian Mountains. The investigation gets personal when her adopted daughter enters the crosshairs. How far will Rachel go to protect her own? How much will she be willing to give up?

I love this boxset, I couldn't stop listening! Very well written, and the narration was amazing. I really enjoy Tia Rider Sorensen as a narrator. The books by this author never let's me down.

Excellent

I enjoyed the stories a lot. Loved the twists and turns . You could almost picture what was happening while listening. Kept me company on my walks and long rides.
I do wish the books were in order though. Mallory came and went and in the end we understood why? Confusing.

good book

Loved the books and hope there will be more.

However, they should really change the order the books are read.

The book begins towards the end of the story. After listening to the second story, you’re left wanting to see what happens next and then you’re taken to the very beginning of Rachel’s story. What a let down.

The last four stories lead up to the first two. They’re all good, just read them in order.

Read book 2 first!

This is a fantastic set of interesting paranormal mysteries. I didn't like the use of children as pawns and victims in the stories and it left me with a bitter taste. The victims were too innocent for this type of horror. I would have liked to know the killers reasons for this destruction. It gives little background but not much substantiation. The set would have been much better if the author had cared enough to put the books in correct chronologic order and helped with story progression , but I assume that means nothing to this author. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrators did a good job bringing it to life.

suspenseful and gripping

I really enjoyed this listen. This was one of the first titles I bought nearly 4 years ago when I first started listening to audiobooks. This series was so good that couldn’t wait to come back to it. I thought they read it in the perfect order. If I could pick at one thing then it would be the openness of it meaning that it left a few issues open that I wish that the author would write an ending to it. But it was worth the listen.

Really Good

I loved the stories, but the books were in a hap hazard order. Tia Rider Sorenson is a great narrator, but the other goes too fast and doesn’t do well with male voices. Also most of the books are on the other box set: The haunting of Rachel Harroway. Which is also completely out of order.
