What do you think?
Dead Voices
When Nick Borja asks his psychic friend, Cassie Valentine, for her opinion on a haunted bed and breakfast, Cassie is left with a slew of questions: Who haunts the mansion, and why?
What happened in the small back room that makes it the crux of the haunting?
Why has Aaron Jacoby, the caretaker’s young son, become so ill after moving to the premises?
Most of all, why is her boyfriend, Michael Penfield, suddenly acting like an alien changeling?
Answers won’t be easy to find. Because although both Cassie and Michael are receiving messages, as young Aaron Jacoby says, Dead voices are hard to hear.

About the author
Ophelia Julien
23 books35 followersI grew up in a haunted house on the north side of Chicago. I didn't realize how disturbed it was until I was old enough to do sleepovers at friends' houses and realized their homes felt nothing like mine! Ghosts have influenced everything I've ever written, even as a kid. My first attempt at a full length novel was like Nancy Drew Hits a Haunted Cemetery. I have tried writing without ghosts, but they always find their way into my work, so now I just let them.
I have tried many careers in my lifetime: secretary, sign language interpreter, special ed aide, medical transcriptionist, medical assistant, but through all of it, I never stopped writing. So now I am ready to say "I write" when people ask me what I do. It's the only thing that I have always done.
Collecting ghost stories is important to me, so if we ever meet, feel free to tell me a story or two. Better yet, I'll swap stories with you.

More please!
More please!
I'm so glad to have found this author! I am really rooting for Michael and Cassie! But Idk if Michael can get past what Cassie brings to the relationship. This is a terrific series and I really can't wait for the next one to come out!!!!
I am not a Gore lover and it is really nice to read a book without all the distraction of hard core sex and x rated language. I feel that is a poor authors way of trying to hide their inability to write. Ophelia doesn't have that problem!
Read the series for yourself and then let me know how much you enjoyed it as well!!

A good book for tweens since it focuses on the budding romance of the characters. Feels more like they're in middle school than the twenty-somethings they'er supposed to be. Cassie, the female main character, comes off as being a depressed, borderline personality while her 'boyfriend' Michael is struggling with the effects of PTSD. Both characters struggle with their internal issues so much that the story never moves forward in content.
Struggled to finish this one.

A story that keeps the pages turning, as the reader is drawn into the paranormal mystery and history. Cassie and Michael are at a crossroad, Michael realizing Cassie amplifies his abilities to see ghosts, something he is uncomfortable with. While Cassie just wants to uncover the truth about the haunted bed and breakfast and keeps dragging Micheal into. The pace of the story is a bit slow, while Cassie struggles with her issues, but worth it.

LOVED THE BOOK
On to the next, can't wait for the story to continue. This is not a standalone novel, because you want to keep reading this couples story. The writer is never too far out, which means everything is believable. Well worth the read.
