FTC Full Disclosure – A copy of this book was sent to me by the author in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review. The thoughts are completely my own and given honestly and freely.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I was excited to read this intriguing story by friend and fellow blogger, author Murees Dupe. For those not familiar with Murees, she lives in South Africa and blogs at Murees Dupe. Do paranormal settings become normal as you get lost in a book? Do you enjoy a book more if the author can make you believe in the unbelievable as you’re reading?
