Description

Charleston psychic Melanie Middleton discovers the past isn't finished revealing unsettling secrets in the third novel in the New York Times bestselling Tradd Street series. With her relationship with writer Jack Treholm as shaky as the foundation of her family home, Melanie's juggling a number of problems. Like restoring her Tradd Street house...and resisting her mother's pressure to 'go public' with her talent-a sixth sense that unites them to the lost souls of the dead. But Melanie never anticipated her new problem. Her name is Nola, Jack's estranged young daughter who appears on their doorstep, damaged, lonely and defiantly immune to her father's attempts to reconnect. Melanie understands the emotional chasm all too well. As a special, bonding gift Jack's mother buys Nola an antique dollhouse-a precious tableaux of a perfect Victorian family. Melanie hopes the gift will help thaw Nola's reserve and draw her into the family she's never known. At first, Nola is charmed, and Melanie is delighted-until night falls, and the most unnerving shadows are cast within its miniature rooms. By the time Melanie senses a malevolent presence she fears it may already be too late. A new family has accepted her unwitting invitation to move in-with their own secrets, their own personal demons, and a past that's drawing Nola into their own inescapable darkness...

There is a rhythm to the writing of Karen White. It has a pace, a beat, a cadence that is all its own.The Huffington Post

Whites dizzying carousel of a plot keeps those pages turning, so much so that the book can [be]and should befinished in one afternoon, interrupted only by a glass of sweet iced tea.Oprah.com

White captures the true essence of Charleston by intertwining the sights and smells of the historic town with an enchanting story filled with ghostly spirits, love, and forgivenessa once-in-a-lifetime series.Fresh Fiction

This is storytelling of the highest order: the kind of book that leaves you both deeply satisfied and aching for more.Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of Tiny Little Thing

Readers will find Whites prose an uplifting experience as she is a truly gifted storyteller.Las Vegas Review-Journal
