If you get the sprit to read this gripping and captivating book, you will not be disappointed!
Where are you taking me?”
A girl with a dark ponytail walks deep into the woods while Rylan Flynn follows until the girl disappears and Rylan finds the girl’s body. Rylan has always been able to see spirits. She helps them to move on. This time the spirit leads Rylan to its dead body. Rylan realizes the girl, Celeste Monroe, has been murdered with a coin left in her throat. What does the coin mean? Who could have done this?
Rylan decides to use her “gift” to catch the killer but the lead detective, Ford Pierce, has made it clear that she is to keep away from his investigation. Then another body is found, and Rylan is determined to prevent future deaths and catch a killer!
The Spirit Girls is the first book in the Rylan Flynn paranormal mystery series. It is a solid, gripping and enjoyable beginning to the series. I enjoyed how Rylan was compelled to help the victim(s). She is used to helping spirits move on, but this time it is a little different as the spirits have led her to their bodies, not being able to speak, but looking for help. I admired her determination to help even if it meant stepping on the toes of Detective Pierce. She is a character to admire and root for!
This was an engaging mystery with a nice paranormal element. Like Rylan, I was invested in learning what happened to the young women and the circumstances around their deaths. I enjoyed the pacing and how the story unfolded.
I look forward to reading future books in this series. I have a feeling that Dawn Merriman is just getting warmed up!
Mysterious, shocking and fast paced!
