Ghosts don’t scare Chris Wilson. Murderers do.
When a haunting investigation turns into a cold-case revival, Chris is thrust into the most dangerous work of her career. Jimmy Brandt, a teenage ghost trapped in his brother’s house, wants one thing: the truth. He was killed, and his murderer walked away clean.
Chris and her ghost sister, Ron, agree to help him—whether Jimmy’s brother is ready or not.
Derek Brandt built a career tearing apart the paranormal, not partnering with it. But when objects fly through his kitchen and his dead brother starts communicating through a medium he once publicly mocked, Derek has no choice but to face the impossible…and confront a past he’s tried for years to bury.
As Chris and Derek reluctantly join forces, their investigation uncovers buried evidence, dangerous leads, and a connection between them neither expected. Their uneasy alliance sparks into something more—but the deeper they dig, the closer they get to a truth someone is desperate to keep hidden.
Because their search doesn’t just stir up memories. It wakes a predator.
Kindred Spirits is a paranormal mystery thriller about unfinished business, fragile trust, and the danger of bringing the dead’s secrets into the light. A medium, her ghost sister, and a hardened skeptic must solve a murder with a killer who’s still at large—and watching their every move.
Some hauntings start with unfinished business. This one ends with a fight for the living.
Praise for Kindred Spirits:
“The Restless Spirits series keeps getting better. The mystery element kept me guessing until the end and gave me a punch in the gut.”
“Good fun read.”
“Strongest emotional investment for me was in the often appealing spirit characters - the back stories and angst of unfinished business.”
“The climax will keep you going until the end so many twists and turns you will be completely shocked.”
“This was a totally delightful tale. The story is much less dark than its predecessor volume in this series, even though the danger is just as real.”
