Meet Cal and Chelsea and sister-ghost Alicia, Chelsea's sister and ghost Emma Galloway, the latest victim of the Tilt-A-Whirl Man. A little slow starting but picks up and thrills away.

This is an outstanding read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable.
Great suspense and action with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story.

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed it and will be looking for more from them. This is a suspenseful page turner that had me sitting on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what happens next. The characters are strong, supportive of each other and made the story feel real. Allie was abducted and abused by one predator only to be murdered by another. Now she cannot rest until he is captured and punished. There are others just like her, will she be able to stop the predator? I didn't regret picking up this book and neither will you. The twists and turns are edge sitting and you don't want to miss them. I can't wait to see what this author has next for us. I highly recommend this book.

It was a little slow to start with, for me. I wasn't sure whether Cal had ADHD or was just goofy. After the 3rd or 4th chapter, the story line really jumped and grabbed your attention. I did enjoy the book, a lot more than I thought I would. It's an easy read so would definitely suggest for someone looking for a quick read. I'd like to see this turn into a series, I think it could be very interesting.

I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout in exchange for my honest review. I loved this book - a combination of mystery and supernatural. The characters were well constructed, the writing style was sublime. Very enjoyable book, I read it in a couple of hours. I will certainly look for more from this author in the future.

Once I started I could not put this book down. It has everything; paranormal, information, action and romance. I like how the author combined it all. There were even funny parts. This book could help save a child.

I used to love the Tilt-a-Whirl at parks and fairs. Now, I'll never fully enjoy it. This is a compelling, action-packed read with a fascinating storyline. I love the. way this author weaves this story and I highly recommend this.
