About this book

Christmas in the O’Reilly household is rarely quiet, but this holiday season brings a malevolent guest that threatens to turn festive cheer into a nightmare. Mary O’Reilly, the gifted medium who bridges the gap between the living and the dead, finds herself stalked by a vengeful spirit from a local asylum. Unlike the typical ghosts Mary helps find peace, this entity has followed her home with a sinister agenda, trading holiday warmth for terrifying, literal fires.

As the danger escalates, Mary must protect her loved ones, Rosie and Stanley, from a spectral force that refuses to be silenced. This nineteenth installment in the beloved series masterfully blends the paranormal mystery genre with high-stakes tension and emotional depth. While long-time fans will recognize the familiar comfort of Mary’s world, this chapter introduces a darker, more visceral edge that pushes the boundaries of the series, testing the resilience of characters both living and departed.

Whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned follower of Mary’s journey, this gripping tale offers a perfect mix of suspense, spectral intrigue, and heart. Will Mary manage to banish the darkness before the celebrations turn fatal? Dive into this chilling holiday mystery to discover why readers are calling this the most intense and unforgettable entry yet.

BEST. ONE. YET

June 8, 2017

I have read the entire Mary O'Reilly series, plus many other of Terri Reid's books. They've all been phenomenal. But this one really amped it up. Fabulous story. Fabulous plot. Fabulous ending. And the other aspects of what you get from reading this are the icing on the cake. I always get more than I anticipated from reading this authors stories...in a very good way. You will not be disappointed in any way....the stories, the character development. All of it is just so incredibly satisfying and...

Awesome Read!

Terri Reid never ceases to intrigue and entertain. Even though many of her characters are dead, she brings them to life in her Mary O'Reilly series book. This is her 19th book in the series and she still manages to make it a page turner. Love that Mary and her friends are such a tight knit gang and return to solve mysteries and bring justice to light. Terri writes with such depth of characters, knowledge of life experiences and emotion all intertwined in her faith of God and her belief in life...

Not a fan of the dark side

I have truly enjoyed reading the Mary O'Reilly series. However, in 'Old Acquaintance' Terri Reid introduced some of the dark side and it almost repelled me. I hope she doesn't spend time on that side again. )
