Connected

by Milda Harris

The only thing Drew remembers about his life is the moment of his death. Leaving his life and his memories behind, Drew thinks that he is on his way to heaven as he follows the pull of fate. Instead, he finds himself witnessing the birth of a baby girl, Aurora. He immediately feels a strong connection to her. He can’t leave her. Thus, Drew becomes an invisible observer of her world as a ghost and Aurora becomes haunted by him.

Unable to remember how he died and not knowing why he feels that he must stay with Aurora, Drew spends his time like a guardian angel, watching over her. From infancy, Drew is with Aurora as she grows up. Yet, in all his vigilance Drew is unprepared when Aurora is hit by a car at the age of six and killed. He was unable to save her and blames himself. He is distraught beyond reason. Why did she die? Was it his fault? And, what was he going to do now?

Drew appears to be given a second chance, though, and an opportunity to redeem himself when Aurora’s spirit is reborn again as a baby. He now has six years to explore her world and find a way to save her. Has he finally found the purpose of his afterlife? Or is trying to save Aurora just a small piece of a larger puzzle?

[Hello There! · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the third Milda Harris book, I've bought and I've loved all three. The story is really compelling. There are so many questions that kept me reading, and they were all answered even better than I'd hoped. It's definitely a paranormal romance, but it's TRULY original. I don't want to blow any of the surprises by writing about the plot. Check it out!

When I first started reading Connected by Milda Harris, I felt I might like it because of the description of the book. I was right I did, and kept going wanting to see what would happen next. It's short but well worth the time, the two main characters interesting, clearly a five star book.

I was connected to the characters the whole time! :-)
