"Life was waiting to be discovered from the ashes. It was time to stop burying herself and to live."
What a thrilling, creepy ride! Jaime Jo Wright is known for her suspense, but this one really gave me the shivers!
In 1910, Perliett is a rural healer. The doctor in their area does not condone her helping the people in their community. It doesn’t help that her mother is a “spiritualist” who claims she can help people talk to their long gone loved ones. Some suspicious killings happen and Perliett finds herself in the middle of it all!
In present day, Molly and her husband purchase a new farm. Molly is dealing with depression due to multiple miscarriages. She begins seeing and hearing things that cannot be explained. Events lead her to dig more into her husband’s family tree!
I really love how these stories blended together. There are some very intriguing twists and turns. This book is full of atmospheric moments and is definitely a spooky read. It was a little hard for me to read Molly’s pov because I’m pregnant and her anxiety was making me anxious for her. I can see how some of her feelings and emotions would be triggering for someone who has gone through what she did in the story. This was a fantastic read if you are in the mood for a little scare! As always, it is wrapped up in the end with all valid explanations! I love that about Jaime’s books.
