Summary: A Good Read
Comment: I like this author a lot and was excited to read her latest.
I don't really care for the paranormal, so I was a bit disappointed to find it being the main plotline of the story. But the author is so good that I was able to overlook that, as I'm always able to overlook the present-tense writing style.
The only disappointment was that I felt this book was totally predictable. One of the things I like best is that this author is always able to surprise me...and I was stunned when I finished to find that I had guessed everything correctly throughout the story and there was nothing surprising at all about the way it ended.
Definitely worth picking up.

Summary: Almost a 5 star book
Comment: In the Blink Of an eye Wendy Corbi Staub
(pg. 446 Thriller New York)
Three years ago Kristin dies in a freak drowning accident in a lake. Today Paul receives a call to come home her mother has died. They never married so he isn't her son n law but their daughter is the last relation in this family. Upon arriving in town spooky things begin happening in the house, Dulcie who has a
degenerative disease that took her eyesight can see images that seeing people can't see and has conversations with them. Julia befriends the father and child during this difficult time. She is the childhood friend of Kristin and many years ago this house frighten her and she had bitter arguments with her mother
over purchasing the house. The Town Lily dale also is a character in this book. It is a town that does exist for the paranormal community. These are physics who can reach the other side and people flock to this town to connect with lost loved ones. Staub brings the town to life but doesn't force the readers to believe in ghosts. She gives you the story and lets you make your own decisions. The mystery is able to stand on its own merits without needing any supporting plots. Not only did Kristin die under mysterious circumstances, another girl of similar age was shipped off to boarding school never to be seen again. Staub weaves these
stories together and it becomes a read you can't put down as you read just one more chapter. The only thing I found wrong with this plot was the introduction of a character that could have a link to the missing girl (don't want to give anything away here) and two people who roam the county looking for ghosts. Whether
you believe in ghosts or not the mystery and surprising onclusion will keep you spellbound. Rating 9

Summary: Lily Dale info was great!
Comment: This book intrigued me because I have lived in Fredonia, NY and have been to Lily Dale. It's the only gated, private "spiritualist" community in the US. The author took great pains to get the area correct, right down to the plaza in Dunkirk! From a mystery standing, I loved it but was a bit disappointed in the somewhat contrived ending. Not a bad read though, especially when you're alone on a snowy evening.
