Very good book if you are into the psychic/paranormal books. The woman is a "violet" a.k.a. psychic/medium who can summon the dead and she is trying to escape from a government organization that is trying to make her work for them. She gets hired by a not-so-true archaeologist trying to find ancient artifacts in Peru. Very easy read, very hard to put down.

Main character finds herself in trouble again because of her abilities. In spite of it all she seems to find hope that she'll love again someday. An antagonist gets killed off, which is not an unwelcome event. Nice sequel but not as good as the rest of the series. I do believe I've skipped a book but think I'm done with them.

This is the first of the series I've read. I found this book to start out very slow, not get exciting till almost halfway through, then get dull again. Woodworth should stay away from any future lead female characters because I found Natalie to be just awkward. The whole book seemed awkward and just stumbled along from beginning to end.

A book that I found very interesting because of the main character's gift, the gift to speak to the dead.

Well-written but not as meaty of a story as I had hoped for. I'm a prolific reader and enjoy quickie reads, just wasn't prepared for this one to be a quick. Read it in just a few hours. Enjoyable. I would consider this to be a 'light' read.

Great series about "Violets" who can connect with those who have died to find out who is the murderer.

Very good series! This book was also a page turner for me. I especially liked the different setting in this one.

Woodruff's psychic character, Natalie Lindstrom, is pulled into an archaeological scam that reaches back into the bloody history of Peru in the time of the Conquistadors.

An excellant book---a "weird and wonderful" plus archeaology equals a great read. One of a series.

I enjoy this series

Really good book- part of a series.

very good book, cannot wait for the next one.

I liked the series so far, but decided I wouldn't reread it, so letting it go to someone else. Do read this series in order.

The slaughterers boast of their crimes. ALone, cut off from her family, Natalie faces a chilling realization: every truth she uncovers is leading her one step closer to a terror beyond imagining.
