Book Review

A pretty far out there concept, but it had me from the beginning. I really loved this book! – Jan Achey

I really enjoyed this novel. There is a lot of action and suspense in equal measure. Car chases, suspenseful “there is someone in the house” scenarios, identity swaps, a host of betrayals and more. The plot and character relationships proved very complex, which was a welcome break from some of the more simplistic (a.k.a. predictable) stories I’ve read lately. The author clearly has a good understanding of Colorado current events and history, and watching the story create bridges between the two was fun. The main character is independent, resourceful, level-headed and compassionate. She doesn’t start conflicts, but they keep centering on her. She deals with them in ways that are both human and commendable because she feels fear when any sane person would but manages to push through it in a realistic way. I get a little tired of stoic heroes who don’t blink an eye when it really hits the fan. This novel provided a welcome break from that. I will definitely check out more books from this author.

Full Book synopsis/summary:

While Tobias McFitzroy rots in jail after a drunken spree, his daughter is murdered.

Because of his neglect and a lifetime of degeneracy, his ghost is condemned to remain trapped on Earth unless he saves his daughter’s reincarnation, Samantha McFitzroy.

Samantha faces danger from the family line of Tobias’ old enemy, Amos Vickers, a world-renowned philanthropist who secretly operates a drug-smuggling operation overseas. And unfortunately for Tobias, his time on Earth is running out.

Unable to prevent two attempts on Samantha’s life, Tobias fears he’s not up to the task. Embittered towards the law, he must collaborate with a local police officer, Ivar Rexall, to save Samantha’s life. Ivar doesn’t believe in ghosts, but proof grows that one exists. He can’t explain the mysterious bombings and arson occurring in his town. Nor can he prevent his explosive passion from erupting for Samantha.

Excerpts:

The light was still on in Linda’s bedroom when she reached the top of the stairs. A hint of Amos’ aftershave lingered in the air.She pulled back the covers of the now-cold bed and her throat tightened. Her eyes filled with tears. Amos’ wedding ring lay in the indent of his pillow where
his head usually rested.

Tobias McFitzroy’s old tombstone lay cracked in half and sinking under its weight in a cemetery outside a Colorado ghost town northeast of Fort Collins. The old stonemason had carved his own epitaph. It read, “Until we meet again. 1830 – 1899.” Unlike most people, it didn’t mean when he’d meet them in heaven. He couldn’t. He hadn’t made it that far. He must be stuck here on Earth for a reason. It’s been over 100 years, but he thinks he knows what’s keeping him grounded. His reincarnated daughter, Samantha McFitzroy’s life is threatened. It’s up to him to save her.

The Rural Schools Are Gone

Tales of bygone days…1 room, 40 students, 8 grades, 1 teacher You may be too young to remember attending a ‘one-room schoolhouse’, but someone in your family probably passed down the tales of your grandparent’s growing up in these schools.

Yet, these schools helped mold the children of early pioneers and multilingual immigrants into literate and patriotic citizens of a new nation. Walk through the countryside to school with us. Make rural schools come alive again as we share stories of those early years.
