Melissa St. Hilaire has compiled an extensive collection of signs from the afterlife! Some I am familiar with, but many others I had never considered. I will be referring back to this book often. The book is short, easy to read and comprehend, and there is a very helpful Index in the back of the book where readers can look up information by topic. Melissa encourages readers to track their signs from the afterlife, giving the reader fill-in pages to do so. This seems like such a simple thing to do and yet I have never considered it so I was happy for the encouragement to do so.

Thank you NetGalley and Callisto Publishing for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

One of the best books I’ve read in awhile: I recently lost someone and I feel like it helped me better understand some things. I highly recommend this book!!!

There were many occasions when I could have used this book to help interpret ethereal events. One event stands out. It was a time in my pre-teens that a vision spoke to me about a book that would reveal who she, in this vision, is. Yes, the author is the voice in that vision, a spirit life announcing her birth as a daughter!

I have throughly enjoyed reading (and re-reading) 30 Real Signs from the Afterlife by Melissa St Hilaire. It is a fascinating and informative book about how to sense and understand spirit energy. I was so impressed by Melissa’s writing style. It is incredibly easy to read and understand. This book provides clear and concise instructions on how to better prepare yourself for receiving and interpreting messages and signs from the afterlife.

I love that the techniques the author outlines in the book is backed up by historical practices. Giving the history of use and the description of how different religions use the same practice was helpful in understanding why they put these techniques to use.

I have goose bumps just writing about how much I love this book. It has truly helped me recognize and understand the signs that are meant for me. Bravo, Melissa St Hilaire. This book is going to change peoples lives.

Easy, interesting read! Not what I expected from the title. It’s much more! I thought it was going to explain how to recognize signs given by the other side. Part One is actually instructions on how to “contact” those who have passed! Then Part Two is recognizing & interpreting signs. I swear I highlighted half the book. So much amazing/enlightening/comforting information! I definitely recommend this book.

There's a lot to take in here as nearly everything in nature is categorized as a sign. I would suggest reading (or listening to the audiobook) in specific consideration of your own loved ones and experiences. Not everything will be a sign for everyone. I'll share an example.

When my granny passed, she was far and I couldn't attend the family gathering at her burial. I walked to pick up my children from school and a small, brilliant white butterfly was on the brick wall and caught my eye. A special feeling swept over me. It reminded me of my granny's snow white hair (she was a redhead who went pure white quite early in life). Ever since that time, small white butterflies appear in poignant moments when I feel alone. It has happened all over the world while travelling and in all seasons and climates, not just summer. They come to me directly, very close.

Amazon suggested a series this week. I am an empty nester now and it's been a bit hard. Several episodes in, the narrator announced that it takes place in Aberdeenshire, in the highlands of Scotland. This is where the same granny was born. I thought it was a strange coincidence but the author mentions both of these signs in the book. So keep an eye out to what speaks to you.

I have been reading books about the Afterlife for almost 30 years now. I find the subject itself fascinating and that said, I can officially vouch for the fact that Melissa St. Hilaire has written the only book you'll ever need on the subject. She starts at the beginning with her background and experiences, lending to her credibility and gives readers a guide that bypasses their need to contact a medium when a loved one passes. Reading this book is like being guided by a good friend who is sharing all her spiritual secrets so you can do what she does too. She tells you what subtle and not so subtle signs to look for. With the recent passing of my step-dad, this is definitely a book I will be getting copies of for my mom and sister. It's an enjoyable read and easy to understand.

"This book is the rare combination of very compact and concise along with very eloquently and intelligently explained and worded- to such an extent that my gut tells me that I don’t even need to bother reading any other book on connecting to the afterlife. Funnily, as I was reading the book, I thought to myself that I wished every educational book was written like Melissa writes! I had no idea that connecting with the deceased could be so easy, inspiring, enjoyable, and readily available! Melissa’s book is the third book I’ve bought on the afterlife and mediumship, the only one of them I’ve found the most stimulating, eye-opening, and enchanting--and also the very last book on this topic I’ll buy because after reading this book I see that Melissa has everything covered!"

[Lorate Hamzeh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such an easy read with valuable information that you wouldn’t get unless you read a library of ancient books on the topic - which I personally don’t have the time to do!! The author really simplified it for us mortals. Highly recommended!

I received a complimentary copy of this book "30 Real Signs from the Afterlife" and all opinions expressed are my own. It seems like every book on this subject is basically the same. I started in May and left it for a while. I tried to continue monthly later. I didn't care for this one.

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book. I use it to reference events that happen to make a connection to its meaning. I leave it on the side table for anyone who wants to read while visiting my home to take a peek!

[John Sgammato · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recently lost my mother, and this book came along at just the right time. What it does so well is to show us how the everyday odd events that we see and take little notice of are maybe not so odd. For example, a cloud that looks like a cat might be a curious meteorological phenomenon, or maybe it's a sign from a departed fellow feliphile telling you s/he's ok and watching over you. If you can recognize that sign, then there are other signs that can reassure you.
