Description:
“In an older LA neighborhood, a nearly eighty-year-old house is
haunted by a very persistent—and threatening—ghost. Multiple efforts to convince
the ghost to move on have failed. When medium Sam Firecloud and his partner
Lacey Fitzpatrick are called in to take a stab at it, they quickly realize
there is more to the story than they know. The only question is, can they
unravel the mystery before the enraged ghost takes out its revenge… on them?”

Appraisal:
Due to extenuating circumstances Sam Firecloud and Lacey Fitzpatrick
require a different approach to appease the angry spirit in Heart Walk. Sonya Nakashita is at her wits end with a threating
manifestation in her sewing room. She’s had a psychic who tried crystals and
banishment spells with no luck. Madam Rubinskya recommended an exorcism, which
also ended in failure. Through Lacey’s research she’s pretty sure she has found
the spirit’s name, but they need to learn his story.
In the meantime it is family weekend, Daniel has a new girlfriend
named Chelsea. She joins the family for pizza and then they all go back to Sam
and Lacey’s apartment to watch a movie. Chelsea picks Poltergeist and
asks if ghost stories were okay for them. Hahahaha, poor thing doesn’t have a
clue. However, she finds it all fascinating. I love watching the antics that go
on during family weekends. Sam and Lacey agree that Daniel needs to learn some
dating etiquette.
As the pieces start coming together the twists turn disturbing and
unsettling. Ms. Bowersock knows how to weave a tangled web of deceit to keep
the tension high. Getting to the truth of this angry spirit who wants revenge
is a whirlwind of emotions. The climax is startling and deplorable.
Heart
Walk is a captivating story, and not to be missed. I love the way that
each book is fresh and unique unto itself.

Walk is book 26 in Ms. Bowersock’s, A Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud
