Laurel's Gift

by Tricia McGill

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

GENRE: Paranormal/Contemporary

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

BLURB:

The plaintive singing of a ghostly child in the night sets off a chain of events that lead to Laurel learning the dark secrets that dwell in her Great Aunt Maggie’s house in a Melbourne suburb. When Eli comes into Laurel’s life, instead of instantly uncovering the secrets that have been buried in this house for many years, their joint efforts lead them to discover even greater mysteries.

Eli’s past is tied up with the ghost of the child who haunts the house, and there are many hurdles to cross before he discovers just why he also sensed strange vibes in the old house as soon as he entered.

In their search for the answers to an extraordinary mystery they uncover a passionate love affair shared by the people dear to them or those who dwelt in the house at one time of another. Despite their shared psychic abilities can the couple also find such a love?

Excerpt:

When she turned back Eli was right behind her. Without a word he took her in his arms and kissed her. Laurel’s knees buckled and she reached for his shoulders. Pushing her back against the wall he pressed his body onto hers. The kiss went on and on, until Laurel lost all train of thought. With the same abruptness as the kiss began, it ended. He stared hard at her, turned and walked out.

Laurel followed him to the front door on shaky legs. He opened it and said over a shoulder, “Call me when you’ve made up your mind.”

REVIEW:
In this paranormal romance, the story was interesting because both characters have psychic gifts. Often, in these stories, it's just the woman or the man. But this book was different. It was two love stories in one, and Tricia McGill does a wonderful job tying them together.  Lauren and Eli are a fascinating couple. Laurel is outgoing, and Eli is secretive.  The mystery is secondary to the love story, but for me, this wasn't a problem. What I liked were the characters and their love story. It starts off with Laurel staying in her Great Aunt Maggy's house, after Maggy hurts herself in a fall and has to go to a nursing home. In Maggy's home, Laurel hears a little girl singing, and knows she's a ghost. Then roses arrive for her Aunt Maggy, and Laurel meets Eli. It's a captivating story, and I highly recommend it!
