A girl named Calla is recovering from her mother's recent death when she is sent to live with her Grandmother in a little town called Lilly Dale. Unbeknownst to her this town is a haven for mediums and clairvoyants who call themselves followers of Spiritualism. Calla is shocked when she learns this and she abruptly plans to leave. Suddenly however, she herself begins receiving visions from a missing girl. Will she be able to forget her misconceptions and trust her insticts? Read the book to find out.

Opinion: 

This book was very good. It held my intrest with an exciting mix of mystery, fantasy, and romance. Calla was a likeable main character that had you rooting for her. The only thing I did find odd, if not necessarily bad, was the fact that the whole book was written in the present tense. Nonetheless, I would recomend this book as a well-written and exciting novel.

Explain your content rating: 

There were points that contained descriptions of ghost that may be mildly scary for some readers. People may not be comfortable with the Spiritualism either.
