Death Comes Calling
Mary Harrow's mother burned for seeing the dead.
For three years, Mary has survived in Depression-era Manhattan by refusing the same gift—ignoring the voices on dead lines, staying invisible, pretending she's ordinary.
Until poverty forces her into a spiritualist parlor, where desperate clients pay to contact the dead.
She means to fake it.
The ghosts have other plans.
Every séance tears the veil. Every spirit takes a piece of her. And watching from the shadows is something ancient—something that knew Florence Harrow, that's been waiting thirteen years for her daughter, that offers only one path to
Accept what you are. Or die like your mother did.
The dead don't forget. And they always collect.

I loved the idea of the story line so much. The first 2 books were well done and kept a good pace. This one just fell kind of short for me. The story for Mary was well though throw but not executed well. The story stalls and then is very hard to get through. The last 4 chapters or so give a great ending to this. I was hoping for so much more from this book. Will continue to read Kate Seger and the rest of this series.

I very much enjoyed this tale of grief, curses, and broken promises carried along bloodlines.
Only reason it doesn’t get 5-Stars is because there are duplicated passages near the end of the book.
