Description



Book Synopsis



"Where are you taking me?" Rylan follows the figure through the trees. The girl's dark ponytail swings as she turns back, then walks on without answering. Deep in the woods, she disappears... and Rylan finds her body, mouth wide in a silent, final plea for help.


Rylan Flynn has always been able to see what others don't-the restless spirits haunting Ashby, Indiana. She's learned to live with her "gift" but sometimes she longs to escape.


The woods have always been a peaceful place for Rylan. But on a visit to her aunt's cabin, she catches sight of a spirit in the trees. The ghost of a young woman approaches, leading Rylan to her body.


With a flood of horror, Rylan realizes that the girl, Celeste Monroe, has been murdered. An outgoing newcomer to town, Celeste had no enemies. Who on earth would want to see her dead?


When a coin carved with strange symbols is discovered in Celeste's throat, it's clear that a twisted, cold-blooded killer is at work.


Rylan's abilities could be the only way to prevent further deaths. But Ashby's handsome head detective, Ford Pierce, has made it very clear that he doesn't want her help.


And any unexplained knowledge of the case could make Rylan the perfect suspect.


When another body is discovered and blood at the scene points to Rylan's family, she is more determined than ever to uncover the truth. She must race against time to untangle a web of dark secrets... but can she find answers before the murderer claims another victim?


A heart-pounding mystery with a touch of romance, The Spirit Girls begins a new series of paranormal thrillers that are impossible to put down. If you love urban fantasy or psychic thrillers by Heather Graham and Wendy Wang, this book will grab you from the first page and never let go.

The Spirit Girls by Dawn Merriman is easy to read. I wish the author had given us more information on Rylan and there were other questions I wanted answered (how she got her powers, her mother, what is in her brother’s old bedroom). The plot never developed to its fullest extent. The story had potential, but it did not reach it. It just scratched the surface. The paranormal element was light (I thought there would be more). I wanted a tricky mystery, some scary moments, and a little humor. I was able to solve the crime early in the story. The twist was not a surprise. The ending was expected. The repetition of details was not needed (the whispers through the walls at home, Rylan’s dead mother, Rylan’s attraction to Ford). I wanted a surprise or two, more paranormal, less romance, and a more challenging mystery. A Rylan Flynn Mystery series has potential, but it was not achieved in The Spirit Girls. The Spirit Girls is a paranormal tale with lost souls, a dishy detective, an accused aunt, a horrific killing, and a sassy spiritualist.
