The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright
4.0
Premonition at Withers Farm is a creepy dual time line tale with endless corn fields, serial killers, haunted basements and old farmhouses with a dark history. Both of these are set in the same small town decades of year apart but still both have that spooky atmosphere.
"Life was waiting to be discovered from the ashes. It was time to stop burying herself and to live."
1910: When a young woman is found dead in a cornfield..a self proclaimed spiritualist, a hobbyist healer and a doctor will come in close proximity to death...whether they like it or not.
Present: Another death and another "coincidental" connection. Molly has been barely living her life. Ever since her miscarriages...her mental health is at an all time low and her marriage is no where near the wonderful connection and comfort it used to be.
I felt like the pacing of this book was very well done. It held my attention in both timelines...dropping just enough clues to keep you guessing even when I still wasn't able to guess anything at anything at all! This was such a clever blend of mystery, horror, ghosts and family. I loved the relationships in both timelines and the completely different romances in each as well. As each character works to bring down the killer I was holding my breath wonderful who it could be!
There is horror but there is also healing. I really appreciated Jaime's attention to Molly and Trents marriage and how that was mended.
The perfect blend of Christian elements were also added to each time line that didn't overtake the story but only added to it as both main characters are struggling who who they need to be.
My first Jamie Jo Wright but 100% not my last!
