Haunted dreams, strange happenings and new faces. Its never a quiet life for Peyton.
This is book eight of Midlife Spirits, a Paranormal Women’s Fiction series of short novels from HP Mallory. The book is set in the Garden District of New Orleans, USA. There is some romantic interest but there are no scenes of a sexual nature.
As ever, HP Mallory's writing style just pulled me into the story and I raced through it in an evening. If the fact that I’m on book eight hasn’t given it away, I’m really invested in these characters and their journeys. They are well thought out and interesting.
Peyton’s journey back to the past has changed her. Despite the fact that Drake is no longer possessing her and has returned to haunting their house, she is increasingly sensitive to the spirit world around her and is getting a five star reputation for her paranormal investigations. Peyton’s new interest is collecting items with ties to the occult. Her latest acquisition being a porcelain doll which houses a seemingly benevolent spirit.
Paranormal activity in New Orleans seems to be ramping up and both Peyton and Ryan are being drawn into it, whether they want to be or not. The arrival of a new witch in town, some strange goings on which cannot be explained and a visit from Peyton’s young cousin, who is also sensitive to spirit, all serve to interrupt the developing relationship between Peyton and Ryan. Its never a quiet life for the couple.
As ever, the spectres of Guarda and Baron Samedi lurk in the background, seemingly waiting for their moment. They haunt her dreams and they want something from Peyton but what that could be remains a mystery.
