mpr2000's review against another edition

There's a body without any suspicious mark of death... the police doesn't know where to start, lucky for them the dream walker, Baxley Powell, is on holidays and free to help them investigate the case. The only problem is that she is on holidays and just wants to relax instead of another case to solve!
Ready for a paranormal case?
Baxley is a widow, a mother and a dream walker, she is quite new in the paranormal world, but lucky for her all her friends and family will try to help her in this difficult case. She will learn (and will teach us too) some new curious creatures that live in the world among us, some of them fantastic and some mythological, and let me say that it surprised me that the author has mixed them both. I still haven't understood the paper of the "help" Baxley has in the dreams world, is Rose good or bad? See is the perfect evil, but seems to have more secrets than anyone else... maybe we will know more about them in the next books?
I can not leave alone the family situation of Baxley, she is a widow, but doesn't believe that her husband is death, I can understand the need to know the truth, he can not find him in the death world but neither in the live world... so where's her husband? I hope the author will give Baxley some closure soon, I would not like to be in her skin about not knowing the truth about someone you love!
Paranormal books are not the type of books I usually read, but let me say that this case was quite original and with a surprising twist at the end makes you want to know more about the story.
This is the fourth book of the Dreamwalker series, you can read it as standalone, of course, but there are a lot of characters' background that will be lost in the previous books. So I would recommend to start the series from the beginning!

Dollycas’s Thoughts
Baxley Powell can’t even go on vacation without being drawn into an investigation. This time people are dying without any trauma to their bodies. She is asked to dreamwalk with the latest victim to try and get some answers. Her walk leads her to some scary and unbelievable places both in the present and beyond the veil.
Maggie Toussaint has an extraordinary imagination and I can’t help but follow her with mine right into this story.
The Powell family seems to be an ordinary American family but they are not. Each has their special gifts to communicate with the supernatural realm and with each other. Now that more people know of her talents Baxley’s demands on her time are almost overwhelming. While on vacation the local sheriff arrests her to convince her to help them on a case, while a pushy medical examiner demands help on a cold case. She has dealt with the medical examiner before, I didn’t like her much then and my feelings haven’t changed. All the characters the author brings to this story are special and different in their own ways. Readers will like most but there are a few to really dislike as well.
The mystery itself was very complex mixing Cherokee folklore with other supernatural elements. The way the author made these other worlds come to life is really unique. The dialogue was so well written. The plot has some surprising twists and very fearful moments. This story is sure to be a hit among paranormal/supernatural fans.
As this is a series I do recommend reading them in order but this book can be read all on its own.
