Resumen del Editor

No matter how Flynn Dalton tries to avoid it, the supernatural finds her.

At first, it’s not so bad. Flynn’s girlfriend, Genesis, is a nationally known psychic, which makes Flynn uncomfortable for both paranormal and financial reasons, but she can handle it. As long as no one makes her talk about it.

Then, on her way home from her construction job, Flynn almost ends up the latest casualty of Festivity’s infamous Dead Man’s Pond. And when her ex-lover’s ghost appears to warn her away, things get a whole lot weirder. Flynn might not like it, but the pond has fixated on her to be its next victim. If she wants to survive, she’ll have to swallow her pride, accept Gen’s help, and get much closer to the psychic realm — and her own latent psychic abilities — than she ever wanted.

love the characters!!

i loved this book!! page turner, fabulous characters, fantastic narrator, can't wait to finish the series

Loved it

It’s so hard to find good lesbian paranormal novels. This is a great find! What did I dislike about it? It freakin’ ended. Sigh. I know there’s a book two but still.
Great characters, story, and narration.

First experience with the author

This books had everything that makes for a great read. Action , murder, betrayal, magic, Romance. Don’t miss out on this one .

Couldn't Put It Down!

Absolutely LOVED every minute. It is a must read, can't put down, twists and turns adventure!!

What an exciting ride! Great start to new series

Flynn Dalton; More than just the woman of my dreams….but I digress.

Flynn Dalton is a down on her luck construction worker who hates public displays of affection, or anyone knowing too much about her, or any attention at all. She meets and falls in love with Genesis, a gorgeous fem Medium. Flynn claims to have no belief in the supernatural but is interested enough in Genesis to be tolerant of it as long as it’s not used on her.

Seems she has had her own experiences with the Supernatural that she never talks about. Ever.
Then one day on her way home, her truck is pulled toward the haunted pond that has taken the lives of at least 5 people. Five women, to be more specific, five lesbians.

Flynn survives but is now haunted by her ex, the 1st victim of the pond.

This book is a whirlwind of excitement. It moves at a runaway train pace and all you can do is hold on and pray that everything works out for our loving duo.

The fact that the main characters are lesbians is incidental to the story. Hate started the curse, and love will stop it. The rest is beside the point. Flynn and Gen could be a straight couple and the story would work, with some minor changes. The fact that they are proud, loving woman, just makes it all that much better.

I could not stop listening to the Audiobook. The narrator; Rebecca Lowman, brings all the characters, especially Flynn to life. Her reading is excellent and went a long way to add to my enjoyment of this book.

I loved everything about this book. It was exciting, the romance was realistic and fun, the dialog is believable. If you know Central Florida, you will recognize the town the story is set in. And personally, I can buy all of this happening there.

This is my first book from this author, but I plan to look for others she has written and I eagerly await the next in this new series. It can’t come too soon for me.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to @Netgalley, Orangesky Audio, and Elle E. Ire for the chance to listen to this audiobook in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Mr. E...AND the pond

An delightful story about death, dark magic and tragedy to bestowed upon one person.
I truly fell into R. Lowman narration rendition of each characters. I was enthrall to my delight of what Was happening next. I just recommend that you Must get these series. Because I had to get it as soon as I finished this story. Had to know what became of the two. You must listen to and get this.

Oh wow!

I saw a recommendation for this book on The Lesbian Review Chat and from the the review it sounded like it had everything there is to love about the paranormal romance genre. I spent a credit and was instantly hooked. I cannot explain how happy I am that there are two more books.

Too much unneeded inner dialog

The main character is in her head or having a flash backs often and with too much detail. She explained how she wore her sports bra for maybe 5 minutes. Stop. Get on with it. There is a lot of unneeded info and the transitions are poor. The narrator did no favors.
