Publisher's summary

Friends don’t let friends séance drunk.

A new paranormal women's fiction romance series from NYT and USAT best-selling author, Michelle M. Pillow!

Vivien Stone lost the love of her life over 20 years ago. Now that she’s in her 40s with a string of meaningless relationships under her belt, she can't help but pine for what might have been. It doesn't help that she's somewhat psychic and can pretty much predict where a relationship is heading before it even starts.

When she and her best friends find a hidden book of séances, Vivien believes it's the perfect opportunity to talk to her lost love. But things don't go as planned and what was meant to be a romantic reunion takes a turn for the bizarre.

Maybe some things (and people) are better left buried in the past, and what she really needs has been standing in front of her all along.

Loved it

I love the situations these three friends find themselves in. Through thick and thin as most friendships go through, this group of friends are supportive and protective of each other. The audio at times was slow and I had to speed it up a notch, but all in all, I loved the story and the narrator. I look forward to the next book.

So Very Good!!

This book is so good! It is Vivien's story and it was so full of so many different emotions. It had a tragic love story, a charismatic ghost and a new budding romance. I both read and listened to this which made it even better!! This is one you don't want to miss!!

emotional and charming

Talk about starting with a bang, I cried in the first chapter, my heart was breaking for Vivien and Sam!
I laughed too, I also was in a state of panic and in suspense over the course of the story. Ms. Pillows sure knows how to keep my attention.... as usual. Loved the story and how the author took a very real feel situation and gave it a magical supernatural element. Vivien finds the closure she needs to start living her life and the bond with her friends deepens even further. She finds her HEA with the hunky neighbour, Troy, who at first I was sure was Sam coming back to her. Troy is who she really needs and gets. YAY
Listening to Ms. Cook giving the characters lives is always an experience and she is definitely on my 'eargasm' list. Her voices are spot on defining the characters and their temperaments, moods. Her passion for the craft is really heard how she tells the story.

Fun series

I’m liking this series, I wasn’t sure I was liking the first book but kept listening and now I’m listening to the whole series. I like that each book is the view of each main character. It’s a fun easy listen.

Wonderful Story

A beautiful story of love, loss, and friendship. Although I had trouble getting into the groove with this narrator, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to Heather's story!

Vivian’s Book.

Again, I’m really enjoying these books.
This book is Vivian’s, who is a tough, funny, great friend, and magical. I loved the lawyers office visit. Lol. What a hoot.

Troy was a nice addition, a bit quirky, but so is Vivian.

I really like the bit of mystery, magic, romance and great friend’s stories, and look forward to Heather's story.

Rebecca did a very fine job with her narration.

Going to re-listen to both books again.

Great love

This is the second time I've listened to this book. I've cried both times. I think it's a great story of true love and loss with a happy ending.

Third times a charm is charming.

I loved getting to see Vivian's story!
The stuff with Sam was a bit creepy, but I'm glad I pushed through to the end.
Her ex makes me want to kick him, lol. He is a piece of work.
I'm glad we got to hear more about Vivian's past, her current life and get to meet the one person she can't read!

William and Lorna were adorable, I'm so glad we got to see more of them in book 2.
Walking through healing Vivian's heart, has me looking forward to Heather's book with excitement and a little trepidation. This story made you feel, think back on your past relationships, celebrate you have grown and changed, and looked into the future with hope. I feel like Heather's story will take us on an even deeper ride.

If you are a fan of PWF, like I am! You should grab this book today.

I really enjoy Rebecca’s narration of the story and how she helps each of the womens unique character shine through.

Excellent continuation of the series

I really enjoyed all aspects of this audiobook. I expected the story to follow a similar structure as the first book, but the story line was as unique as the heroine. Overall themes were continued, and the three friends grew in their power and knowledge of their new gifts, but this was a fresh plot. I loved seeing the main characters from a different viewpoint. I think this could be read as a stand-alone book, but there is more depth when taken as part of the ongoing story. I am looking forward to the next book.

good read

Not as impactful (imo) as the first book, but enjoyable and entertaining. I really thought Troy was Sam coming back to Viv and was disappointed at that aspect. I loved Viv standing up to her ex and company when they tried to rake advantage of her monetarily. Kudos! I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.
