The arrival of this ghost sparks a series of events that puts Rachel in pursuit of a past life made new. She realizes that her new life is both worth living and worth fighting for as the powers that be rise up to try to kill her.

About the author

People often ask me how I can sit down and write the way I do. The only response that I have ever been able to give them is "How could I not?" My mind has always spun fantastic tales and I simply wish to share them with the world and paint for the people an image of that place where my heart lives.


Sincerely,
T.R. Jones

I actually didn't finish reading the book. It started out okay but quickly became so unrealistic I was pulled out of the story and didn't want to continue. Rachel's character also started morphing too quickly from meanest, hardest person ever to not too quickly.

Nothing wrong with the book, I just wasn’t very interested

For the supposedly edited version this was still filled with many errors, some seriously cringe worthy. Even ignoring most of those the content and action was hard to handle. Too many gee-whiz coincidences and just strange things.

The Love lost and hidden being found again plot is well done. I've seen the same plot before, but still enjoyed it. But sadly that is about the only redeeming feature.

A woman who is a gun fanatic, weapons hidden all around the house, who spends far more time giving up the guns to the bad guys than ever considering actually shooting one? Then there is Heinrich Himmler's Lugar(sic), not to be confused with the Beringer (sic), or the .44 Magnum our small and weak gun fan fires one handed. Maybe before writing about guns the author might want to spend a day at a range.
The corrupt cop who's partner is tortured and decapitated, but just a few pages later is in the hospital and getting better? I'm confused... That must be some really good glue they use or something.
Police that are so terminally stupid that they don't even use basic investigative techniques, have no clue about forensics, and constantly let the bad guys go with a consoling pat on the back.

Mommy? Make the bad go away? ...whimper...

If you like thrillers, this book cannot be missed. Great writing for a first time author. Story and writing is good enough for me to ignore editing mistakes.

I guess this book is entertaining but the story is just NOT realistic. If you want a story about some people that everybody wants to kill, you need some better reason why people would want them dead.

If you have the patience of a trained dog and seem to be desperate to read anything without any thought to wondering how realistic this story is... Then please join me and read this.
I can't believe as seemingly promising as this book started, I'd be running loops with bizarre multiple times over psychotic villians from all angles. How much of bizarre evil can these characters have against them!

I enjoyed the story...its characters...storyline...flow...it kept me reading, not wanting to put it down.
I was not at all impressed with the ending. What happened??? Then I discovered there was a book 2. Excellent way to sell the next book! Kudos.

I would have given this a 4...but the number of mistakes was just unacceptable...Mary became Marry...To instead of Too (all through the book)...Volts Wagon instead of Volxwagen...Threw instead of Through...Their instead of They're...and it goes on and on.
The story was great! Find yourself a different editor, though.

This book absorbed my ability to think. Worst thriller I've ever read.
