Summary: Pages will fly until you reach the end.
Review: Until she inherited her grandmother's southern mansion, Laurel had never thought much of the other thing she inherited from her, the sight. It had brought her nothing but grief, driving her mother insane and leaving her in a lonely loveless world. Her only escape has been in dreams. Coming to Mimosa Grove, however, she finds her gift is welcomed by the residents. Still, there is something missing, a trace of the past lingers, a ghost perhaps?

Then one night, a child goes missing, and it is Laurel's vision that can guide her rescuers to the little girl. When Laurel meets the child's uncle, he is literally a dream come true. Before their dreams can become reality, present day nightmares merge with past ones to endanger Laurel and all she loves.

**** Whether she's Dinah McCall or Sharon Sala, this lady is a guaranteed fast paced, exciting read. Her use of ghosts and other eerie things is always delicately handled so that even those who want reality in their stories can find no flaw. Characters, human and non alike, are three dimensional and the setting itself has a personality. Pages will fly as you race to the end. ****
