irst, I have to admit that Yasmine Galenorn is one of my favorite authors. I fell in love with her Otherworld series, and have snatched up her books since then. I'm thrilled that she has decided to keep publishing that series even though Berkley has decided to stop publishing those. I already have Darkness Raging waiting for me!
That being said, I have started with her Fly By Night series (just a great as I expected) and now this, her first book in the Whisper Hollow series. As you can glean from the back cover, Kerris is now the spirit shaman for Whisper Hollow. She had left the town 15 years ago, when she graduated high school, and only returned now due to the death of her grandparents. Both her mother and father had disappeared by the time she was 3, and Kerris was the only female left able to assume the role of spirit shaman for the town. Joined by a lament singer and a guardian, she must see that the dead of the town are laid to rest. If they aren't, they are destined to become ghosts or worse.
She left because she didn't feel safe in the town, which has a life/power of it's own, and it seems like she isn't any more welcome upon her return. It appears that the powers in the town, both human and spirit, are sinister and want her not only gone, but dead.
She has to find answers to a lot of questions while trying to keep herself alive, so it's a good thing that she has a few people that she can depend upon.
I think that it's best to leave the story telling to Yasmine, but I can tell you that if you like paranormal adventure, loving sex, and a good mystery, you'll love her tales as much as I do. Give this book a try, and I think you'll snatch up the rest of her series too!
