Genre: Mystery/Paranormal
Description:
“Paranormal investigators Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud are not
in the market for a pet—but one finds them anyway, and it turns out to be a
very special pet indeed. At the same time, they are called to a small town in
Tennessee to investigate a haunted cemetery. The historical society puts on a
family friendly event called Dinner with the Dead, but lately there have been
some uninvited “party crashers” that are threatening to halt the events and
possibly even bankrupt the historical society. Sam and Lacey only have two days
to sort this out. With little information to go on, will that be enough time?
Or will the specters destroy everything the historical society has built?”
Author:

Appraisal:
The description and the cover of this book should preclude me from
being accused of a spoiler if I say that Sam and Lacey find themselves with a
new pet that fits well within their family. While a small part of the overall
story and unrelated to the main story thread I suspect Spooky, their new cat,
might play a bigger part in future books. Or maybe I’m wrong. (Can a review
have foreshadowing about an as yet to be written book? I guess we’ll see.)
For those who have read one or more of the books in this series, what
you’ve come to expect is what you’ll find again. For those who haven’t, this
series is a mystery series with a strange twist. Sam Firecloud has the ability
to see and communicate with ghosts, specifically people who have died, but
their spirit has not yet moved on to whatever comes next, needing to resolve
some unfinished business in this life before they’re able. This creates issues
here in this world. (Most people don’t like ghosts hanging around doing ghostly
things, right?) Sam, with his partner Lacey’s help, figure out what is
preventing the ghost from moving on and help resolve that issue so that all
concerned, the ghosts and those still in this realm, can be in a better place.
In this story Sam is asked to help with a couple ghosts that have been trapped in
limbo since the Civil War.
