About this ebook

Although she was orphaned at birth, Eden Moore is never alone. Three dead women watch from the shadows, bound to protect her from harm. But in the woods a gunman waits, convinced that Eden is destined to follow her wicked great-grandfather--an African magician with the power to curse the living and raise the dead.

Now Eden must decipher the secret of the ghostly trio before a new enemy more dangerous than the fanatical assassin destroys what is left of her family. She will sift through lies in a Georgian ante-bellum mansion and climb through the haunted ruins of a 19th century hospital, desperately seeking the truth that will save her beloved aunt from the curse that threatens her life.

Ratings and reviews

I loved this series so much n she just dropped it like a hot potato so my only complaint was that shes stopped writing them and really didnt wrap it up for me, plenty of ghost stories I mean what about a photo shoot in Europe? There are much older ghosts there oh well....

While there was a lot of set up to get to the action, it was enjoyable and insightful. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

Loved this series, wish she would write more, Eden Moore is a great character.
