Roxanne Bell wakes up to find herself in the hospital with her best friend, Sam, keeping vigil. Roxie's husband, Steven, in a fit of anger had blindsided Roxie with his fist. The last thing, Roxie recalled was a black blur and fear on Steven's face.
Roxie moves in with Sam, who is also her attorney, and is surprised to find an old man sitting on a stool. Cool as a cucumber, Elmer Jenkins, informs Roxie that he lives there for over thirty years unknown to Sam, who has been living with a ghost she can't see. It wasn't until at an attempt to poke Elmer, that Roxie's finger went right through him that Roxie acknowledged she was seeing a ghost and it must be related to getting a bump on the head. Roxie learns that Elmer had seen what Steven did, and sent his Newfoundland dog, Jake, to her side.
Elmer's family is known for their sight, and Elmer gifts Roxie a box of trinkets from the women in his family, that also comes with a book. The problem is Roxie can't read it to learn what the jewelry is about. Elmer explains that besides ghosts, there are other things that only gifted people can see, and some are not nice.
Roxie discovers that by wearing a ring, she has the ability to call Elmer's kin from the other side. First, it was a cousin, Rosemary, then it was the cousin plus Grandmam.
I enjoyed this book and the fact that Roxie is forty years old. She's bumbling her way through this new sense she has, and learning what each piece of jewelry can do. Rosemary & Grandmam are a hoot! Turns out that Roxie actually unknowingly saved Rosemary, when she was young. Roxie's life has gotten a lot more interesting!
I borrowed a copy of this book from Kindle Unlimited, and voluntarily reviewed this book.
