Synopsis:

Reese Everett’s aunt picked a bad time to die.  Just weeks after a car accident left Reese’s mother unable to travel, her aunt’s house needs to be emptied and sold, leaving Reese as the only member of the family who can do the job.  She typically wouldn’t balk at the opportunity to sift through her aunt’s collection of antiques, but when she arrives in Devil’s Vale, Georgia, she discovers the family house in a state of disrepair she won’t be able to handle alone.

Colton Waters is back in Devil’s Vale – whether he likes it or not.  After he loses his acceptance to medical school with no explanation, he’s left with a single job offer…one that will return him to the hometown he’d hoped to escape.

When an errand to help his sister ends in a meeting with Reese neither will easily forget, Colton takes a job as her temporary handyman.

The longer Reese stays in town, the more she realizes the condition of her aunt’s house isn’t the only thing she hadn’t expected when she made the trip to Devil’s Vale.  Reese isn’t the only gifted member of the family – her aunt Kate has been practicing the family business…the business Reese has been sworn never to discuss.

After a ghostly visitor arrives one night, Reese and Colton learn Kate wasn’t the only one practicing the darker arts.  They begin to uncover secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Review:

After the death of her aunt Reese is sent to clean and pack up what is left of her aunts stuff. Meanwhile Colton Waters is back in town to help Reese repair the house before she passed.The longer Reese stays the more she realizes there are spirits in the home her Aunt left and she is keeping up a family practice that wasn't supposed to continue. Little did Reese and Colton know there is things about to happen and reasons possibly dark beyond their control is keeping these two to stay in the town they had left.

While reading this book I couldn't help but think multiple times that this would be a great introduction and wondering when was something going to happen in this book. It seemed like I was getting little tid bits of what was really going to happen. As it turns out this book is an introduction to a series or trilogy I'm not quite sure. When I requested to be apart of this tour I wasn't even aware that this book was apart of a series. I thought that this was an interesting start, I wished that there was more paranormal stuff. But it looks like there will be in the upcoming books which I am looking forward to with how this book turned out. I liked the characters and this was an interesting start. I liked that there was multiple point of views keeping this book interesting. Honestly, I can't wait to see what happens next.

Author Bio:

D’Ann Burrow once told her preschool teacher she wanted to be a witch when she grew up. That simple comment signaled the start of a life-long fondness of things that go bump in the night. As she grew older, she could most often be found with her nose buried in a book, and she was especially fond of the Nancy Drew series as well as anything by Christopher Pike or Stephen King.  Occasionally she’d take a trip to the world of the classics where The Scarlet Pimpernel and A Little Princess reigned among her favorites.  She’s lost count of the times she’s read Little Women.

Today, D’Ann enjoys the world of Supernatural, stories about guys with fangs, and she’s seldom met a disaster film she hasn’t liked.  When she grows up, she’d like to work at the Haunted Mansion. Until then, watching Ghost Hunters will have to count as research.

D’Ann writes about secrets people keep.  Even the bravest heroine or a guy with a heart of gold has a few skeletons in the closet they’d rather not share with the world. When those secrets get out, things get interesting.

A Texas native, she knows making great guacamole is an art form. As a theater mom, she’ll happily chat about Broadway musicals by the hour.  Molly and Lizzie, the family furry ones, are frequent stars of her Instagram account.
