Description from the publisher:
Four years ago, Emily Shea and Staff
Sergeant Brett Leeds agreed to part with no strings attached. Sparks flew
during their brief affair, but fate intervened, sending Brett overseas. When an
unexpected pregnancy derailed Emily's own plans, her attempts to locate Brett
were soon overwhelmed by the challenges of single motherhood. Now, Brett has
returned home, and Emily is forced to share her secret.
Despite feeling betrayed, Brett is determined to forge a relationship with their son, Tyler. As the former lovers battle both their inner demons and their mutual desire, another presence enters their lives—Tyler's imaginary friend. Soon, however, the chilling evidence points to a different conclusion: a ghost has formed a dangerous connection with their son. Emily's attempts to help both a lost soul and a friend in need spiral toward a deadly confrontation, and Brett must race to save Emily before he loses her again—forever.

HAUNTED SOULS is a stand-alone,
contemporary romantic suspense with a paranormal element. This is not a series, but Claire and Max from
Gull Harbor do return for a couple of chapters!
There were a lot of references to
Emily’s friend, Caitlyn. So much so,
that I looked to see if one of Ms. Knight’s previous books featured her, but
alas it does not appear to be.
I don’t often mention the book
covers, because I’m not usually swayed one way or the other by the cover. Let’s face it, on Kindle or Audiobook the
cover is rarely noted past the time of purchase. This time I want to just say that it is a
perfect representation. It is a lovely
collage of the most important elements of the story with an equal balance of
dark and light. Kudos to the artist.
I loved this story that balanced the
history of mid-eighteenth century America with the present day life on Cape Cod
and the lives of three little boys and their mothers…yes three, because Tyler
has a schoolmate whose family story is integral to the plot.
So many emotions were brought out,
explored, and embraced. From the opening
line, Emily’s raw fear and anxieties are evident. Life has beaten her down, until she is the
type to faint in fear, but she remains as strong as possible for her little
boy. Of course, I was cheering for the
man who was a fleeting fling four years ago to become her knight in shining
armor. Read it and find out if he did.
I think at this point, I would read
a cereal box if it were written by Ms. Kathryn Knight. I look forward to her bringing me more of her
audiobooks as they become available.
Narration: The narrator,
Kristin James did a wonderful job of bringing each character their own
voice. My favorite was her portrayal of
Tyler. She does a three and a half year
old boy beautifully in all of his mercurial moods.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted
audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
