Holly has it all. She’s very
beautiful and has a great job as an estate agent in the family business. It’s a
job she is good at and actually enjoys. She lives in a lovely apartment with a
gorgeous boyfriend who is making it big in the computer industry. She has a
lovely and affluent family and a new luxurious lifestyle on the horizon. What
more could a girl ask for?
However, Holly’s life is
about to be turned upside down whenever she visits a house in Bisley Rise.
Holly experiences something utterly terrifying that leaves her questioning her
own sanity! Holly has always known she had an ‘intuitive gene’ and could sense
things that no-one else could. She’s inherited this from her father and
grandmother. Previously able to put this sixth sense to the back of her mind
and her life, Holly now finds that her ‘gift’ is determined to re-emerge even
more heightened that before! Holly constantly feels she is being watched by
some unseen forces and has some frightening experiences. Experiences that leave
her shaken, fearful and uncertain about her future.
Will Holly’s rediscovered
gift alter the course of her destiny? Will those she loves be understanding and
supportive or encourage her to hide her abilities? Support, love and guidance
come in unexpected forms for Holly and she must determine whether the life she
has been leading really is her true destiny. Is her fate to be determined by
her or other forces?
I absolutely adored Linn B
Halton’s new book. The characters were well developed and it was interesting to
see Holly evolve throughout the book. Some of the situations Holly finds
herself in are pretty spine-tingling and on occasion I could feel the hairs on
the back of my neck prickle! This is a well-thought out and extremely clever
plot with a twist that the reader will not expect! A perfect read for those
dark winter nights! For those interested in the paranormal this is the book for
you. Whilst the subject matter focuses on psychic abilities, it is a story of
mysteries and twists and turns that leaves the reader fearful for Holly and
desperate to find out where her life is going!
It’s a book that’s hard to put down. Written from Holly’s viewpoint, it
offers an interesting take on the ethical difficulties faced by those with a
‘gift.’ It is a book that won’t disappoint!

Lovely review JB, thanks so much! It's strange that basing a story on true psychic experiences is 'hairs on the back of your neck' scary. I think it's because so many have had experiences of 'strange things' and it strikes a chord. Some things are unexplainable because they are meant to be, but I did have fun with this story! Lxx
Fabulous review, huge congrats to Linna and thanks to JB for her detailed, wonderful thoughts. Linn must be over the moon! Rock on, Ladies! XX
Excellent review of a great book. I echo your thoughts entirely,JB.
I felt the same - didn't want to put it down. I wanted to know how Holly was going to resolve her situation. The author kept me hanging in there till the end.
What a fab review, you must be very proud Linn.
Thank you for a great review.
