Kylie McAllister has it all until her world is shattered by the death of her husband, Jackson, in a car accident. After a year of grieving, Kylie uses the proceeds from Jackson’s life insurance to purchase a plantation home on the outskirts of New Orleans to start over with their daughter, Abby. Confirmed bachelor, Ryan LaCroix, has no intentions of settling down with anyone, let alone his best friends widow, but somehow Kylie and Abby find their way into his heart.
After discovering an old Ouija board in the attic of her new home, Kylie unwittingly opens a cosmic door to an incubus who pretends to be the dead husband she is so desperately struggling to let go of. She falls deep under his potent spell of delicious sex and malevolent obsession while he gradually drains her life to fortify his own. By the time she realizes he’s an imposter, she is powerless to stop him. Together, with Jackson’s subliminal guidance and the help of a kind voodoo practitioner, Ryan and Kylie wage a fight for her life against the evil entity.
My Thoughts:
Kylie has to deal with so much pain in this story. She is an amazingly strong woman and mother. After losing the lover of her life she finds herself being haunted. Only in the beginning she is okay with it because she believes it is Jackson (her dead husband). But things aren’t always what they seem. When bad things start happening Kylie is not sure who to turn to, who to trust or if there is just something seriously wrong with her.
Ryan has always been there, waiting on the side lines longing, wishing that he could change the past. But the past is the past and the present is the present. Ryan was Jackson’s best friend, but now finds that he has to confront the feeling he has for his best friend’s wife. Feelings he has had since the moment they noticed her in that bar all those years ago. Ryan knows now is not the time to act on them. Kylie is grieving and needs time. But when Ryan starts to notice that Kylie is changing for the worse he grows very concerned.
Is Kylie still grieving after a year and being harmful to herself or is there more going on?
Ever wonder if there is something under your bed or in your closet? Well those bumps in the night are very real. Jump into “Giving up the Ghost” and learn that ghosts are very, very real and some are deadly…….
Oh my goodness this book was bad for my heart…Gut retching from the beginning. Sadly even when you know something bad is about to happen there are times that you just can’t handle it. Melissa had me bawling like a baby by the end of chapter 2. I actually had to put the book down and compost myself before I could continue… I knew then that Melissa was an evil, wicked good author.
