I really enjoyed reading this book. I like stories with a bit of paranormal and love mysteries. I also love the sarcastic banter between Scott and Zelda. While some events of the story were anticipated, there were several twists that I did not expect and it made the storyline thoroughly enjoyable. The basics of the story was unique, and made for an entertaining read. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes paranormal and mysteries.

This is the first book that I have read by Nikki. I have to say this was interesting from beginning to very end. Had me on the edge of my seat. I have to reread some pages to be able to understand the storyline because there are some twists and turns in this book. It is a different genre that I normally read but so glad that I did read this one. Scott can see and talk to ghosts. They seek his help. The day of his uncles funeral he meets Zelda. She does not know what is going on has no memory of what is happening to her. Prepare yourself for the ride you never expected. These two together are amazing. Things happen that you never see coming. Scott helps Zelda with everything even once things happen that bring out who she really is. I absolutely loved this story line. For being a genre that I normally don't read. I loved it and highly recommend reading it. I would gladly read more from this writer. She has gained a fan with this one.

I love love love this story. There’s mystery, suspense, romance and ghosts. What else does a person need?
The characters are all flawed and amazing. Scott is definitely my favorite character. He grows so much throughout this story.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I can’t wait to read more.

Scott and Zelda are connected. She wants to remember what happens he's her only connection to the outside world. He died for 10 minutes now he has a connection to the Ghostly realm of the undead who haven't moved on. Throughout time these to gain a stronger connection. They have an amazing journey together.

Scott Henderson died but was revived by doctors and since then he can see ghosts. He generally doesn't pat attention to them but when he is drawn to a ghost in a wedding dress he has no idea how much his life is about to change.
Zelda is nicknamed "Ghost bride" by Scott as she has no memories of her name or anything to do with her previous life. Yet she discovers that she also seems to be in an "in-between" state as she could possible be in a coma as she is hearing voices as well.
As Scott and Zelda work together to figure out who she is will they get more than they bargain for? Is there a reason that no one has reported her missing?
This was a great story involving trying to discover someone's identity with absolutely nothing to go on. There were so many times that you felt like Scott and Zelda were getting close only to discover it was a false lead.
There was so much suspicion on certain characters and you weren't sure with the twists and turns what was coming next! There was definitely so much suspense in the book.
There was so much chemistry between Scott and Zelda and it must have been so hard no knowing if Zelda was in a relationship or not, considering she was initially wearing a wedding dress. The two cared about each other so much but were so afraid of getting attached and having to say goodbye.
The ending completely shocked me and I wasn't prepared for everything that was revealed!

Peaceful Slumber ( Soul Connection Book 1 )
By Nikki Lynn Barrett
5/5 Stars
Peaceful Slumber is book one in the Soul Connection Series by Nikki Lynn Barrett. This isn’t my first story I’ve read by this author. ( I have read many books by Nikki and loved them all! ) But it’s just as enjoyable, if not more so! This isn’t your average story by Nikki Lynn Barrett. It is so much different than the other stories she has written before . It’s an amazing suspenseful ghost romance story, you’ll love! It may be different than the rest, but it doesn’t disappoint!! I personally , couldn’t put it down! It’s packed full with drama and mystery!
Scott is a bit of a loner and a recluse. He likes to be alone and keeps to himself most of the time. Probably because he can see ghosts and communicate with them. He hates his unusual ability and wishes he couldn’t communicate with the dead.
Zelda is the beautiful young ghost, who appears at the cemetery where Scott is. She is wearing a stunning wedding dress drenched in blood. Oh and has no idea of who she is or what happened. She has no memory of her past or present whatsoever!
You must read this captivating story to find out what happens with these two! Will Scott be able to help her? Will they get the answers they are desperate for?
I can’t even begin to say how much I enjoyed this book!! It was sooo full emotion and complexity! She blended everything to beautifully, it had me on the edge of my seat, trying to guess what’s going to happen next!! Wonderful job, Nikki! I’m can’t wait to read what’s next!

This is my first book by this author and I was pleasantly surprised by her story telling technique. The paranormal has long since been stories I spend hours upon hours in being thoroughly entertained. This book was no different. I literally could not put it down. Zelda and Scott are definitely soul bound!! I cannot wait for book two!!

I love paranormal stories and this one intrigued me because it seems like the ghost whisperer series from tv. This book was a fairly quick read for me because I simply could not turn the pages fast enough. Just wanting to get to the end to solve the mystery.
Scott, our main male character, has at one point experienced death. Only for a few short moments but it was enough to alter his life whether for good or bad that is what he needs to determine. Scott comes across Zelda, our female ghost, who doesn’t remember anything about how she lived or how she died. She is simply in a blood stained wedding dress with only one person that can see her. Together, they attempt to figure out what happened to Zelda and get incredibly close in the process. How do you love someone who is already dead? This story has mystery, intrigue, and romance that will make you keep reading to the very end. Can you solve what happened to Zelda before Scott can help her? This is simply an amazing book that I am going to recommend to everyone I meet!

Once again Nikki Lynn Barrett has me hooked! This is not the first book I have read, and it wont be the last either. When I read the description, I was skeptical, as it is not my typical read, and the reviews said it was not like her typical book. However, she has never let me down, so I went for it. And boy, am I glad I did!! I loved the story, the characters, and their relationships with each other and friends. It is the story of 2 people coming together in the most unusual circumstances. Scott is somewhat of a medium, although not by choice. Ever since dying, and being saved, he can see ghosts. While he usually tries to ignore them, he finds himself instantly drawn to this ghost bride. Despite her being a ghost, she makes him feel things he hasnt in a long time, and vows to help her.
Zelda has no idea who she is. She doesnt even know if she is dead or alive, as she is stripped of all her memories, including her name, where she is from, and what happened to her. For some reason, Scott can see her, and offers to help her. But does she want his help? He is kind of a jerk at times, very sarcastic and jaded, closed off from everyone around him. Maybe if she can crack his shell, they can help each other.
This story had so many twists and turns, I didnt see most of them coming. HIGHLY recommend to everyone, as it was one of my favorite books I have read in a while.
