What is it about?

Now that Callie knows what she is, the struggles are just picking up. Her bound Spirit Powers are volatile and leaking out, threatening to explode under the strain of keeping her safe and alive. Unfortunately, that pressure valve is more like a neceluar bomb than a magical geyser. If her binding breaks before the spell can be removed safely, the resulting blast could desimate the entire town, and take the lives of everyone Callie has grown to love.

Tag Line from book cover:

What do you do when the greatest threat to all you hold dear… is you?

Thoughts

More answers, more questions

This series is a feel good paranormal that wraps around you like a warm blanket. You’ve got the damaged, yet strong girl and the equally damaged, but protective men that adopt her into their midst. Slightly formulaic and a touch reminiscent of The Veil Diaries, it still hits all the right notes and transforms into a story that is uniquely its own.

I fell in love with Callie in Book 1 and continued to find new ways to love her in ‘Free Spirit’. She is the epitome of strength and will, portraying a core of goodness despite the ravages of her past. The quintet of men that surround her each bring their own touch to the tale, adding layers of mystery, danger and power to an explosive situation that might very well kill them all. But Felix…. *sigh*…. Felix, while each of the guys is charming and lovable for different reasons, it is the untouchable one that holds my heart as a reader. There is something so wholesome and real about ghost boy, and I love him for it – and H.A. Wills for creating him.

First Person, Multiple POV
