Goodreads synopsis: 

Once upon a time…

Four centuries ago, in a small Scottish village, three baby girls escaped the wrath of a witch hunter. Today, one young woman will learn about her secret history, her heart's destiny, and the sisters she never knew she had...

With her blue-black hair and dark eyes, Raye Larsen has never fit in with the Scandinavian community of New Bergin, Wisconsin. Being adopted is part of the reason she feels like an outsider, but what really sets Raye apart is her ability to see dead people. Everywhere.

She’s learned to keep her visions to herself . . . until she stumbles onto the ghost of a murder victim who needs Raye’s help. Enter Bobby Doucet, a distractingly handsome homicide detective who has been tracking a killer all the way from New Orleans. Could this be the break in his case he’s been looking for all along?

Meanwhile, the deeper Raye gets involved with the case—and with Bobby—the closer she comes to unlocking the mystery of her own origins. What she discovers about herself could destroy everything she knows . . . and everyone she loves. Is finding the truth worth the risk?

Filled with dark magic, dazzling romance, and dire suspense, this is the first book in a thrilling new series by New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland.

4.5 stars

This has been on my NetGalley TBR list for a long time. (2015) Not sure why I haven’t picked it up before now. This is totally in my wheelhouse. Romance with a dash of witchy and separated at birth triplets.

This book features Raye Larsen, a kindergarten teacher who can see dead people. This book just grabs you from the very beginning, I loved the addition of Bobby Doucet, a cop from New Orleans with his own personal ghost problems. It was back and forth, back and forth between them for much of the book but that is what amps up the anticipation, right?

I am always a big fan of mysteries or suspense in my romance and this fit the bill so nicely. I have all three books in this series on my March TBR and am looking forward to diving into them all. 

Definitely a first class book. Highly recommended.

If you like romance with a dash of paranormal/supernatural, definitely check this one out. You won’t be disappointed.

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
