BLURB


When Anne and Neil leave on a one-week holiday hoping to reconcile after a two-year separation, little do they know that destiny has other plans for them. Their discovery of human bones and a bejeweled cross in the hollow of a tree open the door to the supernatural realm and the anguished life of Genevieve, a nun from medieval England.


Can Anne save her relationship and help Genevieve her eternal rest?


The twists and turns in this paranormal tale keep the reader guessing up to the end and weave themselves together into a quest to rekindle love.





Review

I enjoyed reading this book, Shadows of the Past. Following the Anne's life and the newly found knowledge of her connection to her past. It was a unique page turner, one that kept you guessing and wondering what was to happen next. There were moments where I wanted to cringe and turn away from what was happening. Other times where I wanted to scream at the characters to run away.

Anne not knowing what she was getting herself into following the voice inside her head, visions and dreams.  She and Neil find themselves in a predicament where turning back is not an option. To solve the mystery of their own past, they must keep going.

Will Anne's past haunt her for the rest of her life? Will Neil and Anne get out of this alive? Genevieve is adamant about finding peace once and for all...

Has destiny other plans for Anne?
