With You In Spirit

by B.C Moone

After traveling the country as a carnival medium, Isabelle “Izzy” Beaulieu is ready to upgrade her clientele. She and her father travel to the San Francisco home of wealthy widow, Mrs. Ellison. Izzy can’t actually speak to anyone’s lost loved ones- instead she uses clever research and a few parlor tricks to make everyone think she can. That is, until two unexpected visitors arrive at the séance- Mrs. Ellison’s handyman, Will, and the ghost of his late wife, Rose. Will begs Izzy to help him find out who murdered Rose. The ghost can’t remember her death and is reluctant to help Izzy if it means she can deceive others. When the head of the local spiritualist society finds out that Izzy is in town and trying to poach rich clients, she demands a test to prove Izzy's abilities. Izzy may now be able to speak with a ghost, but she doesn't know how to find others. To make matters worse, she finds herself growing more attracted to the handsome widower. Unable to tell her father the truth for fear he'll think she's lost her mind, Izzy constantly navigates truths, lies, and who can know which… About the B.C. Moone writes stories with a sprinkle of magic and a splash of romance. She lives outside Washington D.C. with her husband, her dog named after a wine grape and her tortoise named after a Golden Girl. You can find her buried under a pile of yarn as she crochets herself yet another cozy sweater. B.C Moone has undertaken several online and in-person writing classes and workshops, including at the San Francisco Writing Salon and the Decency Be Damned writing workshop in Yorkshire, UK.

[J.c. Lucas · Rating 5 out of 5]

A compelling story with wonderful developed characters. It has all the right ingredients for a good time. The answer to the mystery was a plot twist I didn't see coming and the ending left me ready for more!

[Sarah Thuotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love a good ghost story and this historical 1920's view of San Francisco was a painting of delightful details. There were unexpected discoveries with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments intertwined. There was hidden strength where Izzy learned to stand up for herself and friendships found in unexpected places.

I'll say with complete honestly, my biggest drawback were the amount of typos. I know every book tends to have one or two sneak through even thorough final edits, but unfortunately, I was pulled out of the story a bit too often. It dimmed my enjoyment in those moments, but overall, I truly enjoyed the characters portrayed and the story being told.

There were so many beautiful or clever one liners strewn within that made me pause to admire them, and that's one of my favorite things when reading a book. Finding delightful gems strewn within.

I am eager for the next book, to see where this next leg of Izzy's journey leads her because that was a fun little twist at the end.
