Description from the publisher:

After tragedy strikes, Callie Sinclair is left with a gift she never wanted—the ability to communicate with ghosts. But when a desperate widow begs for her help, she reluctantly agrees to investigate the strange occurrences at Hillwood Farm. She quickly realizes she’s dealing with a dangerous presence beyond anything she’s ever experienced, and something else becomes equally clear—the only other living person in the house, Mrs. Turner’s handsome grandson, thinks she’s a scam artist. While she’d prefer to just ignore him, her heart beats a little faster every time he’s nearby.

Luke Turner doesn’t believe in spirits. He’s moved back to restore the family farm, but living on the property serves a dual purpose—he can watch out for his grandmother. He’s not happy about the sudden appearance of a self-described psychic, or his inexplicable attraction to her. His initial suspicions crumble as evidence points to an actual haunting, but he’s still determined not to fall for Callie—the past has taught him it’s best to avoid relationships.

As Callie is drawn deeper into the mystery, she becomes the target of a vengeful spirit, and Luke can no longer fight his feelings for her. Unable to resist their desire, passion ignites…even as the paranormal activity escalates to a final deadly confrontation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE HAUNTING OF HILLWOOD FARM is a stand-alone, paranormal, romantic, suspense story.

I am never disappointed when I choose a Kathryn Knight book. Suspense, romance, and just enough humor to keep it real. The characters are always believable, for better or worse and the mysteries keep me guessing.

Luke and Callie were wonderful characters. I love that they are both gun-shy of the thought of a relationship, for different reasons, but accept a tentative friendship for the sake of his grandmother. Luke really proved himself to me. Anyone who will bend – even a little – for his grandmother, has already established himself as a good guy. His love of the land and the animals further cemented my love for him. On the other hand, I wanted to love Callie from page one. She needs a mama to wrap her in a quilt and give her hot toddies on the rough days…. Now she has Grandma Alice.

I loved their story together. The attraction and passions that slowly grew and could not be denied. I loved Luke’s protectiveness. I loved Callie’s tentativeness. Her slow acceptance of both her powers and Luke’s love made them more real.

It made me smile that this particular ghost was playing with the garage door for part of the story. I have a spirit in my home that will occasionally open my garage door. Thank God, I know who mine is and there is no vindictiveness or malice intended. Too bad, they can’t say the same!

The mystery that has brought them all together is beautifully woven and could bring the most skeptical person to start ghost hunting… or at least to wonder about those bumping noises in the night.

THE HAUNTING OF HILLWOOD FARM is a fantastic paranormal journey with intense suspense and undeniable romance. This is exactly the type of book I love to read!
