Today you can get to your local bookseller, library or get on your Kindle or Nook and purchase this to be read feature. Today is
Help for the Haunted's release date and I wish I was running out to buy it but it is going to have to wait.....no sure how long I can hold out though!
Help for the Haunted has been highly recommended by Wally Lamb and Gillian Flynn, two of my favorite authors, so it has to be good, right! Hailed as a creepy, unique, suspenseful and compelling read, I can't wait to get my hands on it!
It begins with a call in
the middle of snowy February evening. Lying in her bed, young Sylvie
Mason overhears her parents on the phone across the hall. This is not
the first late-night call they have received, since her mother and
father have an uncommon occupation, helping "haunted souls" find peace.
And yet, something in Sylvie senses that this call is different than the
rest, especially when they are lured to the old church on the outskirts
of town. Once there, her parents disappear, one after the other, behind
the church's red door, leaving Sylvie alone in the car. Not long after,
she drifts off to sleep only to wake to the sound of gunfire.
Nearly
a year later, we meet Sylvie again struggling with the loss of her
parents, and living in the care of her older sister, who may be to blame
for what happened the previous winter.
As the story moves back
and forth in time, through the years leading up to the crime and the
months following, the ever inquisitive and tender-hearted Sylvie pursues
the mystery, moving closer to the knowledge of what occurred that
night, as she comes to terms with her family's past and uncovers secrets
that have haunted them for years. (taken from Goodreads)
