About this listen

In order to make the nightmare stop, Vienna Rossi realizes she must take matters into her own hands.

She’s compelled by an unseen force to hop on a last-minute flight to track down a murderer. Awakened within her is a psychic gift she never knew she had, a handsome spirit guide who drives her nuts, and the ability to help lost souls cross over to the other side.

Vienna and her spirit guide, Jack, team up with Vienna’s best friend, Kim, for a dangerous murder-solving, ghost-hunting adventure.

Unfortunately I can rate the story because I could not hear it as the audable was really bad.

I think I would of enjoyed this book as the narrative started off really well but there was a problem with the audio shortly after the beginning so now I shall never know
What a shame :(

This was a fun and quick listen. The characters were quirky and interesting. This was an enjoyable listen and the narration was good.

Nice introduction to a new series

I was very disappointed with this book and recording. The story took many hours to drag out a plot that lacked substance. The reader read as if they were expecting listeners to be lacking in the ability to listen to speech at a normal pace. By the end I felt like I was back in a Nursery class.

I would not choose another book by this author or reader.

Predictable and monotonous

After a strange dream, Vienna is compelled to travel to Palm Springs to investigate. There she finds a mystery to solve and a lot stranger things than her dreams. Meeting the spirit guide she never knew she had, does nothing to make things any less weird.
The book was interesting but I found it very hard to have much sympathy for Vienna or Jack. Vienna is a bit too clueless and Jack gets quite irritated when Vienna doesn't automatically sense he is trying to make contact, as if it's normal to believe in paranormal goings on right away.

A creepy ghost mystery
