About this book

New Orleans is a city where the veil between worlds is notoriously thin, but for Emily Rollins, the French Quarter is supposed to be a place of healing, not haunting. A pragmatic nurse practitioner running from a tragic family history, she wants nothing to do with the supernatural. That is, until a mysterious, cursed box arrives at her doorstep, unleashing an ancient, malevolent force that shatters her reality and threatens her very soul.

Enter Sean LeBlanc, the charismatic psychic medium who has made a career out of guiding restless spirits through the city’s shadowed history. From their electric first encounter at a masquerade ball, the chemistry between the skeptical Emily and the man who talks to the dead is undeniable. As a demon begins to feed on her sanity, Emily finds herself forced to rely on the one person she never expected to trust.

This gripping urban fantasy blends high-heat dark romance with bone-chilling suspense to create an unforgettable paranormal experience. With its witty banter, steamy tension, and a rich, gothic atmosphere, this story is a must-read for fans of historical mysteries and spirit-medium magic. Can Emily embrace the unknown before she becomes just another ghost in the Crescent City?

The conversation that followed set up an interesting and painful backstory that plays a major role throughout the rest of the book. Trish proves herself once again by forcing Emily to open up to life a little with a fun and steamy dare. Enter Sean. As the Dread Pirate Roberts no...

I enjoyed reading this well written story. The characters are fully developed and likable. The plot is well paced and suspenseful. The ending was great. I was a little irritated with Emily's denial. )
