About this ebook

A woman with the gift to find dead bodies is drawn into the case of a missing girl in this paranormal mystery.

When a grieving mother requests Julie’s help tracking the body of her missing daughter, Julie is hesitant. Not only do the circumstances sound disturbing, the job is in her hometown, a place steeped in upsetting memories and unresolved trauma. But her interest is piqued, and she takes the case, knowing she’ll have the support of her FBI agent boyfriend along the way.

Soon, Julie finds herself exactly where she doesn’t want to be—trapped in the dangerous spotlight created to keep the story in the media. And as she digs deeper into the mystery of the young woman’s death, she uncovers secrets about her own past she thought were buried forever.

Praise for A Grave Calling

“Readers who pat themselves on the back for being able to anticipate twists may find themselves one-upped here . . . Readers of this taut mystery don’t need dowsing rods to detect series potential.” —Kirkus Reviews

Ratings and reviews

A little romance, a lot of suspense and paranormal .... I was not disappointed at all with this book. Julie Hall has a unique job ... she locates dead bodies by using dowsing rods. This is something she's been able to do since she was a young child. A grieving mother approaches Julie. Her daughter was kidnapped and she paid the ransom money. However, her daughter has never been seen since. Prime suspect is her boyfriend, Rob. He hasn't been seen either. Julie hesitates to accept the job; she will have to return to her hometown where she holds nothing but really bad memories. But she feels that she should look for this girl .. with the help of her FBI Agent boyfriend, Garrett. As Julie investigates she uncovers deep dark secrets and she's going to have to re-evaluate what she knows of her own past. And someone is targeting Julie ... her house and car have been broken into. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was drawn into the story. This was my first introduction to this author and I'm going to read the first book in this series ... A GRAVE CALLING. This does well as a stand alone; there's just enough information to whet my appetite in learning much more about Julie and her boyfriend. Her dowsing talent is rather unique. The investigation is not overly suspenseful, but there's plenty of mystery. This was a well-paced fast read. A GRAVE SEARCH will be available 1/29/18. Many thanks to the author / Carina Press / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

After her life is set in a spiral and everything goes south Julie starts her business finding bodies. She is seeking help with her issues surrounding her grandparents and trying to find a new normal. Garrett is still part of her life although she is trying it on her own. The relationship is more defined in this read and so is her purpose as she finds herself knee deep in another mess. Yup you got it she finds herself caught between a murderer and the body. While it's not as crazy as the first occurrence it is just as emotional. I like this authors style and even though I wanted to shake Julie for some of her decisions I have to say it's a great read. She gives closure and wraps everything up by the end of the book but this bow aint a pretty one, but we do get an hea.
