Paranormal Mystery
Date Published: June 1, 2013
Take a strong dose of mystery, add a bit of the paranormal, flavor it with southern charm, then heat it up with romance and you have Dying to Dream.
When Jack Robesaux is found lying dead on a Louisiana beach, psychic, Marin Seurat, must use her gift to prove it is murder and not suicide. Though Marin knows her dreams with their messages from the dead could help, she struggles with the idea of returning home and facing a troubled past. However, a phone call informing her of Jack's murder and the return of the family curse gives Marin that final push. In a surprising turn of events, Marin discovers a mystery from long ago that somehow connects to recent deaths. With the help of cryptic messages delivered by spirits, Marin races to solve the mystery of Saint Toulere.

My Review:
There are so many moving parts to this story that will keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat throughout.
The descriptions in this story will have you feeling like you just stepped foot into Louisiana.
The characters were colorful and I enjoyed reading about them.
Old Family Feud? Check! Murder? Check! Voodoo? Check! And plenty of twists and turns along the way.
