Soul Antiquary
Davin Cooper is a well known photographer in Miami, and when the opportunity presents itself to move away from his loving but pestering family to a Victorian home in Baton Rouge to have a regular job, he takes it. Even when rumors fly about the house being haunted and he starts to feel strange vibes himself, he insists it can;'t be real; that is until a dead girl shows up in his bed.
Davin is forced to call a paranormal investigator who comes in like a tornado and changes his heart and his beliefs, forever. Together, they uncover a plot years in the making involving ghosts, magick, and murder that his own brain barely believes.
If you like to be scared, solve a mystery, and read about an unlikely romance, this is the book for you.

I’m really torn with this review. There were several aspects of this book that left me giddy and screaming “five stars!” while other aspects had me shaking my head and asking “really?” Do I recommend Soul Antiquary? Yes! But I would caution all who read it to suspend belief and be willing to allow a few things to slide.
“But Jessica,” you say, “after reading the blurb it’s obvious this is a paranormal fantasy. Of course I’m going to suspend belief. What’s wrong with you?” To which I’d say, it’s not the fantasy element I had problems with. It was the real-world aspects of the story that feel rushed and/or incomplete. Example: In the first chapters our main character, apparently a famous photographer, decides at the drop of a hat to move from the city to the middle-of-nowhere. In a matter of a day (okay, two because he had to drive home and pack) he’s managed to not only buy a new house, he’s emptying his previous home and leaving keys on the kitchen counter for his realtor. Say what? Have you ever bought a house? Anybody have the process take less than several weeks?
Maybe because this unrealistic home-buying escapade took place so early in the book and it set me on edge watching for similar events, but I felt like all the real-life turns of Soul Antiquary were just too easy, too pat. Perhaps they won’t twitch others as much as they did me, but to each his or her own.
Now, that said, the paranormal element of this story was riveting! As in “OMG! What a crazy cool concept!” I couldn’t get enough. I found myself reading late into the night to see what craziness might happen next. It was addicting.
So, my final take away from Soul Antiquary? Reality bites, but fantasy rules!

I could not put this book down! Amazing!
This book had me hooked from start to finish. I kept turning the pages because I had to know what happened next. This was a bone-chilling mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend it!

Haunted mansion like no other!
Never read a serial killer thriller like Soul Antiquary. I was mesmerized with the depth Lianne Willowmoon’s plot linked a haunted old mansion, pagans and a ghostly serial killer. The paranormal activities kept me amazed and the characters provided a lighter storyline, including a little romance. Enough said, no spoilers, must read for a captivating, well written, page turning, great goodread.
