Welcome to The Hallows Bed & Breakfast! You may check in, but you might not check out...
Charlie sees dead people.
Or, rather, she sees her dead twin brother Josh.
But ghosts aren't real. At least, that's what her parents, the psychiatrist, and the therapists kept telling her. She knows they're wrong but learns to pretend so she can be released from the psychiatric facility her parents checked her into.
So, imagine her surprise when her father takes a promotion and relocates the family to a small town called Hawthorne Heights, which has secrets Charlie couldn't even begin to imagine. Her anger mounts when Brad, a boy who lives down the street, fills her in on the secret her parents kept from her - the bed and breakfast they renovated, used to be an abandoned asylum!
Despite her uneasiness inside The Hallows Bed and Breakfast, she learns to love the place - mostly. Until opening weekend, when one of the guests inadvertently releases the spirits of the people who died the night the asylum closed. Now they've locked everyone inside, and it’s up to Charlie and Brad to find a way to trap the spirits once again.
Even if it means Charlie loses a piece of herself in the process.
HIDDEN CONNECTIONS is a haunting, on the edge of your seat page-turner that fans of VERONICA MARS and MIDNIGHT, TEXAS will devour.
An avid reader since childhood, Jennifer loved to read any book she could get her hands on. She especially enjoyed tales with paranormal or supernatural elements. Her love of words evolved as she grew older and later in life became someone her friends turned to when they wanted a school paper read and proofed.
After college, where she received a degree in Education, she reached out and networked with several authors and joined the ranks of 'Editor". There was nothing that could quite touch the thrill of being able to shape some unexplored world that would land in the hands of thousands - in the shape of a book.
All the books she had read throughout her life stoked her imagination, but she had never tried to put down on paper the characters she had in her own head. That was, until the characters began their rebellion. It seemed she no longer had a choice but to tell their tales.
This book was very well written. It captured my attention from page 1. Would recommend to anyone who likes to read paranormal books. Even if they have not read paranormal before, it is a good book to start with. Very talented author!
Hidden Connections is an excellent beginning to a new series. I found this book to be filled with tension, twists, and turns. Charlie is a strong female lead, and her past is revealed in a way that makes you wonder what else is going on. The supporting characters are all well-written and multi-faceted. I'm eager to read more in this series.
The idea was promising but a good editor is needed. Besides grammatical errors, some scenes jumped too quickly. I skimmed to the end to see how it wrapped up.
