BLURB The plaintive singing of a ghostly child in the night sets off a chain of events that lead to Laurel learning the dark secrets that dwell in her Great Aunt Maggie's house in a Melbourne suburb. When Eli comes into Laurel's life, instead of instantly uncovering the secrets that have been buried in the house for many years, their joint efforts lead them to discover even greater mysteries. Eli's past is tied up with the ghost of the child who haunts the house, and there are many hurdles to cross before he discovers just why he also sensed strange vibes in the old house as soon as he entered. In their search for the answers to an extraordinary mystery, they uncover a passionate love affair shared by the people dear to them or those who dwelt in the house at one time of another. Despite their shared psychic abilities can the couple also find such a love?

EXCERPT: The phone rang while she was deciding which clothes to wear. Laurel set on the side of the bed and picked up the extension. "Good morning. How did you sleep?" Eli asked. He possessed a really nice voice, she had to admit. "Not the best." Wasn't that the truth? Laurel ran a hand over her head. She really should have called Ben first thing. Too many things were happening in her life to suddenly and her brain was beginning to feel like mush. "No interruptions?" "No." Presumably, he meant the child.

REVIEW:

***

I gave Laurel's Gift three stars because even though I loved the idea of the story, I just couldn't seem to get into it. The idea of Laurel having this gift of having dreams that come true is really intriguing but the book was slow to start and I was hard for me to finish it. I think it would be a great book if there was more to the backstory. I like Laurel's character and I also liked Eli but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
