Comes A Specter

Ghostland, #2

Six months ago, Anya Fleming's ten- year-old son, Willie-boy, found his father hanging in the barn. Traumatized over his father's suicide, the boy hasn't spoken a word since. Now, Willie-boy has come down with a grave, unknown illness and there's only one man who can save him, Sutter Sky, a learned Blackfoot shaman known as Yellow Smoke—a shaman who was once deeply in love with Anya.

But Fate had other plans for Anya and Sutter—she was forced to marry Lewis Fleming, a cruel man who berated her night and day, and brokenhearted Sutter immersed himself in the mystical customs and beliefs of his People and became a shaman.

As if Anya didn't have enough to deal with after her husband's death and son's illness, an evil, sinister ghost is terrorizing their ranch. Anya is convinced the spirit is Lewis, who apparently isn't done making her life miserable.

When she turns to Yellow Smoke for help, will he put aside his bitterness and save Willie-boy? And can the renowned shaman dispel the powerful ghost from their lives and send him back to Hades?

The end of the story carries a lot of excitement. But I must say that the excitement is being carried throughout the story, which makes the reader want to know, what will happen next.

I found the whole story unforgettable. It is a quick read and I would highly recommend to anyone who loves to read Paranormal Romance."

The story line though was very thought out and well researched. I enjoyed the process that Sutter went through to find out what was happening with the ghost. 

For a short read it was enjoyable.

Ms. Diablo managed to not only write about the specter but managed to give Anya and Sutter's romance equal page time. The anger and contempt Sutter harbored throughout the years melted as admissions were made, apologies were given, and their once forgotten friendship was renewed. It was heartwarming amidst the terror Ms. Diablo wrote. *smiles*

Sutter is also a well-drawn, three dimensional character, who must deal with his own bitterness and do what is right, even if it hurts.

The ghost has plans of its own. The reality behind the haunting and the atrocities the Zeuzeu commits, are shocking and horrifying.

Comes a Specter is a thrill ride from beginning to end, wrapped around a sweet story of love and redemption that fulfills the promise of the story.

Keta Diablo has brought history to life, creating a mystical tale steeped in Native American beliefs and the powers they possess. A quick read rich in the details of long ago and the emotions of two souls torn apart for being "different." Feel the intensity of the Shaman's rituals, the "isolation" of living miles from neighbors and the strength of the characters' emotions as the life of one child lay in the balance. Tensions run high as Fate steps in one more time!
