But when Khadijah finds strange photographs of the previous owner of the house, she has questions. Her inquiries into the mansion's history uncover a dark, mysterious past. The more she discovers, the more unusual the lives of Warner Manor’s former owners seem. Soon, Khadijah begins to think someone is threatening her. She finds sinister messages written on the manor walls and sees people peering through her windows at night.

[Adrienne · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was very different. Kadijah was being pursued by someone she knew in a past life. The problem is she did not know she was from a past life. She felt she was being hexed and asked Glory to help her get rid of what was making her life crazy.
This was somewhat nerve racking, but I think I was figuring out what was happening and why/how, but was not really sure. The only issue I had with this story is I did not get the ending I wanted, but that is OK, because it made sense.
I really enjoyed this book and found I could not stop reading once I really got into it.

The last part of the book really became interesting but then you’re left with no true ending and the need to read book 2 for clarity. Personally, the story doesn’t interest me enough to purchase the next book in the series.
