The Spirits of Saoradh, who carry the guilt of a crime they committed when they were alive, now spend their ghostly days in the Void, dark nothingness where time and space are distorted. Until they get bound to a human. As often as needed, that human can call them to the real world, ask them to grant a wish, then send them back to the Void. The Spirits also have to follow strict rules or be punished, unaware that they can earn their redemption through a selfless sacrifice.
Spirit Logan despises the obedience he has to show to his humans, and prefers the enjoyable solitude of the Void. For three years, he has managed to threaten them into severing their bond, thus having his memory wiped of their existence. Except his latest human, an emotionless woman with a secret past, isn’t scared of him. Worse, she doesn’t care about his ability to make wishes come true.
Tessa, a twenty-six-year-old nursery teacher in Fort William, Scotland, doesn’t expect a sullen ghost only she can see and touch to burst through her solid defences. Both dismayed and intrigued, she offers Logan a deal he can’t refuse: to live with her in the human world for one week, at the end of which she will agree to release him.
Slowly, Tessa braves through the safety of her detachment towards people to show Logan some kindness. But the more her feelings deepen, the more Logan increases his distance…
My Review: When your dead, you carry all the guilt that you had when you were alive. Its tough, even for just a spirit, that's got to suck. At some point they get bound to a human, and once that happens then the human can call them at anytime and get a wish. They they just get sent back to the void and forgotten until called upon again.
As it started, I had mixed feelings on this. I wasn't sure how it would go. At first it seemed to go fine, but it took me a few chapters in to really get caught in the story. Once I was hooked, I just kept going until the last page. Yup, sat there for a few and just finished it. Now thats usually a sign of a good book! The characters were done well. You'll easily like them and some maybe not as much. Though Tessa is hands down my favorite.
The author has some real talent and its so worth the read!
