The Ghosts of Beatrice Bird

By: Louisa Morgan

Narrated by: Lily Emil Lammers

The Ghosts of Beatrice Bird is an unforgettable story of obsession, redemption, and the magic of unexpected friendship, from the acclaimed author of A Secret History of Witches.

Beatrice Bird is haunted by ghosts—a gift she's had since she was a small child. Unfortunately, it's an ability that has now grown more intense, shifting from flashes and feelings to physical manifestations she can't escape.

In a desperate attempt to find relief, Beatrice flees her home, her partner, and her psychology practice in San Francisco for a remote island with only nuns and a few cows for company. She doesn’t call home. She sees as few people as she possibly can. Then she meets Anne Iredale, a timid woman who has lost everything that matters to her.

For the first time in a long time, Beatrice's gift will be called on to help someone in need. But the ghosts have taken on an even darker edge—and there is something sinister lurking in the shadows. Beatrice may not be enough to stop what's coming for them.

Thank you for always telling such gripping stories. You create vivid worlds and tangible characters throughout time. That makes the magic real.

great writing

I loved this book. she is an incredible author. she's a great story teller. I can't wait for her next book.

Solid story and good narration!

Louisa Morgan is always a talented storyteller, and she delivers yet again with this book. It was riveting, and the parallel stories and backgrounds of these two women, around the same events, was a good choice to unfold the different experiences and abilities they brought to the table. The element of some suspense was unexpected and appreciated too! It was hard to pause this book, and I finished it in just a few days. The narrator did a great job, too, of portraying the individuals in distinct ways, and sounded so natural and at ease. Solid 5 stars all around!

Louisa Morgan delivers another gem!

Great writing and well performed. Excellent pace. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy supernatural reads.
