This book is a hoot. So much fun to read about a family with various oddities. Detective Thane moved to town so he could forget about his son that was murdered. From one of the big families there and that could talk to the dead was Rose, also has psychic brothers and sisters too. The police department was hunting for the person that was murdering people. Detective Thane was working with Rose to figure out the tattoo and a little closeness helped the chemistry between them. A good book for something different to read!

This second story in this series, is entertaining and filled with action and adventure. The chemistry between the characters is great. I can't wait for more from this author. I received this book as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.

Great story!
This was a great story! I loved the mystery and the way that the psychic ability was weaved in. It blends really well with the romance and relationship that is being built in the midst of trying to find a serial killer. This is the second in the series but can be read as a standalone. This one felt like it had a bit of a different vibe/feel to it as well and it fit the characters and story perfect. The main characters are very different than the other two so it made sense with them having a different feel, especially with this one being a violent serial murderer for our mystery. I loved getting to see and glimpse more of the other Woodward siblings. It is going to be very fun to see what is coming next with this family and this series. There was plenty of action and intrigue to grab and hold your attention from beginning to end. I was thoroughly entertained and am excited for more.

Rose Woodward is part of the founding family of Woodward Hill, so she's used to being considered strange. But things get bad when her clients are murdered after one of her henna healing sessions. Now Thane Richmond, a detective new to town, must decide if Rose is a suspect or if something more is going on. He must also decide whether he believes in psychics because he's very drawn to Rose who tells him she sees ghosts.
This is the second book in the series and I really enjoyed it. I love books with psychics, and this one was done well. I was drawn into the enchanting and captivating story from the start and kept hooked until the finish. The mystery will keep you guessing throughout. I sincerely hope there's more to come from this series as there are more stories to hear. I highly recommend both book and series which I suggest you read in order.

Glad I found you!
I only just discovered your books both Psychic Spirits 1 and 2. I have to say that I have truly enjoyed story lines of both with the family, intrigue, danger, and of course HEA between the leading characters. I couldn't seem to put my tablet down for long before I'm back for the next chapter.
I will definitely be looking for future stories of the " Woodweirds" ;) and any other books the both of you have written.
Thank you for the hours of reading intertainment.

Good
I liked this book even more than the first. The story was fast paced, full of weird pshycic things, I loved all the characters also. The only thing I don't like is when the males are all dominating and watching everything the women do all the time like they have no brains. I never like that.

LOVE this series!
These books are fun real life based stories of a psychic family with interesting abilities and the love interests who come into their lives during challenges they face. Well written with a peak into what life would be like with these psychic talents, the stories grab you and don’t let go until the end.

Great
Book two in this series and it doesn't you let you down. I enjoyed Rose and Thanes story. I did know the who pretty early on, but it didn't detract from the rest of the story. I look forward to some of the other Woodward tales to be told.

Phenomenal book! This book really hits deep with all the emotions and the way that Rose and Thane connected on a deep level had me tearing up. I did not see the ending coming, especially who the killer was. 10/10 book!! Loved it!

New job, new town are suppose to help Troy get his life back on track but his guilt is eating him up. A 7 year old ghost can find peace while saving the day.

As part of a peculiarly gifted family surrounded by mystery, Rose Woodward had her gifts that secretly haunted her. By unleashing a series of murders that somehow related her, Rose finds herself facing her fears, struggling with her doubts, accepting her purpose in life and opening her heart to a possible future where not everything is grief. and pain. The descriptions of Thane Richmond's situation and Rose's intervention moved me, the mystery absorbed my attention and kept me intrigued the entire time with the different possibilities, and the drama between father and son left me more than intrigued. Rose and Thane had their HEA but there are still family situations to work on. I hope to see more about the members of this interesting and unusual family that I loved. Action, suspense, murder, mystery, strong emotions, ghosts, family drama, humorous situations, psychic, romance and passion.

Loved this second book in the Woodward Hill Mystery Romance series! I read this one so quickly as I got caught up in the suspense of tracking down Rose’s stalker/serial killer.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
