A nice start to a series. One that I think I will continue to read. Friends are invited to a paranormal seminar and once there they are 'tested' and put into house. I still don't understand the whole testing process, but I'm guessing that will get cleared up a bit more as the series goes on. The story was kind of sad in the relationships that the friends have built for years starts to fall apart one after the other. There is romance in the book but no sex scenes. As for paranormal besides the testing and the appearance of a ghost that was the extent of the paranormal portion of the story.

I don't know what to think about this book. There were promising threads of plot I wanted to see pursued but instead the story seemed to stay wrapped up in relationship angst. In many ways I found it depressing.


The parts about spirits/ghosts I found interesting. The part about the pagan/spiritualist school was interesting. Now maybe these threads will be caught up into the next book in the series--there is a next book, isn't there?

Now that I am writing this I see that I do want to see what happens next. Guess I will have to look up book two.

WOW, what a great book, it is like eating a box of chocolates LADY GODIVA, you just cant put it aside. I wish there will be more books with the RISING PHOENIX PEOPLE.
