Professional medium Marc doesn't put too much stock in the Tarot. That's his sister Maggie's job. So when the Justice card turns up lot in his life, he thinks his sis is trying to tell him something. Turns out it's more like a new job that's calling his name. When he gets to the new job, Marc is shocked to see his old lover, Dean. Dean is having serious problems with evil entities and needs Marc's help. Marc is not sure he's willing to take the case, but he might be convinced that Dean is worth the trouble. And the danger.
Sara Bell lives in North Alabama with the world's sexiest, most supportive husband, the two most beautiful, gifted daughters on the planet, and two of the most neurotic but loveable dogs ever created. She's a full-time author who writes stories about never-ending love for all kinds of characters--gay, straight, and somewhere in-between. Sara still can't believe she gets paid to do something she loves so much, and she's darned grateful to her incredible readers for making her dream a reality.
Some people have an idea for a story and others are a story teller. Sara Bell is a story teller. Her characters come to life, her ideas are intriguing and her talent is clear.
This was a novel and unique approach to a ghost story. My only wish was she had developed it into a full length novel. There is certainly room for more in this story, and in fact is probably the only Sara Bell book that I feel is incomplete. That’s not to say this story leaves you feeling as if you are missing the final pages, just that there is more I wanted to know, a sequel would be perfect. But as a short read it fulfils the requirements. Interesting story, believable characters and a love that survived lol.
ETA Yeah this one definitely has more story to tell. A shame as this could be a great spooky story. Re reading this one I do feel that I am missing the last few chapters. I think I need to nock a star off but at the same time for nostalgia reasons I'm leaving it on.
3.5 stars I really enjoy the book. I love the emotion that it triggers, between two guys who well, have a history between them. My only 'problem' is the length. It feels a bit too short, the ending is abrupt, that I'm hungry for more than that. And the problems with the angry ghost/demon has never really been solved.
One thing about Sara Bell- she is excellent at putting a short story down with a great amount of depth. Very few of her stories seem rushed to me and then only in a certain point or two.
In this one, it was the cleansing of the spirit[s] from the house. The history and explanation was given for them and then glossed over, puzzle pieces put down that just didn't quite fit right.
As for the characters, them and their history is good, well done, and neither over-drawn nor undersketched. It was only when the current haunting was tied in to the past that things sort of went downhill in my mind.
3.5* Sara Bell hasn't disappointed me yet, and this was a nice story! I like paranormal stories and this one had the makings of a really good one, but unfortunately the 'ghost' part was left unresolved. The love story was nice and I liked it, but also felt a bit unfinished, I needed another chapter.
I've read several books By Sara Bell and this one I felt was incomplete. I would liked to have known what happened with Marc's demon problem since it was brought up in the story. I'm hoping there will be a second part to this story but who knows.
This story had such potential to be so much more! I loved what was there but the story felt incomplete leaving me wanting to know what happened with Marc, Dean and the supporting characters.
TAGS -- paranormal -- ghosts -- second chance -- loved the MCs... Marc and Dean -- had potential -- needs to be a novel -- want more -- under 50 pages
Alright, that was just plain weird. I get that this was just a relatively short story, but… The hell? It ends without resolving the demon issue. So yes, the couple get back together and tentatively work on their new relationship, but meanwhile the demon death threat is still at large, plotting to kill them? Um. Not exactly a reassuring ending. Huh.
When medium marc is called by somone that needs help. He is alittle shocked that it is from his ex dean who they broken for 8 years. Dean is haunted by an spirt but there is 2 and both marc and dean and pushed together when both of their lives are in danger. Can these 2 guys get back what they lost and also pput the evil to rest.
