The Spirit Guide

A ghostly gothic paranormal romance

"Beware the darkness..."

I see spirits, shades of the dead, and each one fills me with horror. For not only do I see ghosts, I also see the final moments of their lives. I feel their agony and die their deaths, and wish I had never been born.

Most would call me cursed, many would accuse me of witchcraft, some would see me burn.

I am forced to hide my "gift", for fear of my life, but when Lady Matilda, brings me to Hay Castle to be her lady-in-waiting, taking me from everyone I know and love, it becomes harder to keep my secret.

And when I meet my nemesis - a man who guides the recently dead to the world beyond the living - I risk losing my heart and my soul to love.

But will I also lose my life?

Gripping and compelling, The Spirit Guide is a dark and enthralling tale of love that transcends death.

Not for the fainthearted, this story has grown-up themes, and scenes of magic and violence.

I am usually not one for historical reads but I was glad that I was asked to review The Sprit Guide. I love reading novels about ghosts and this is why I decided to read it.

Seren is a great character, she sees ghosts and talks to them although this may be good for her it makes the town she lives in think she is a bit of freak and so she chooses to hid her ability.

After marrying Rolf, something she really didn’t want to do her marriage is bad Seren meets George who is a spirit guide, he is not a living person but Seren can touch him. She falls for him, but would it even work? Added to everything Seren is already going through her father in law is a sorcerer dabbling into dark magic. This is an intense novel and I feel so much for Seren, living in the twelfth century and being able to see spirits, they would either lock you up in an asylum or deem you a witch and you all know what happened to witches.

I have not read anything from Elizabeth Davies before but I am now a huge fan of hers, her writing style, plot, fast pacing it was all there and never a dull moment. I really enjoyed reading this and will definitely look out for more from Ms Davies.
