Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection Book 1) by Nikki Lynn Barrett – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After coming back from a brush with death a couple of years ago, Scott can now see dead people. This is not something he is too fond of because once the dead know he can see them, they flock to him. However, at his uncle’s funeral, he sees the ghost of a dead bride in a blood-covered wedding dress. He finds her intriguing and offers to help her find out who she is and how she ended up dead.

Zelda wakes up with no recollection of who she is or how she got where she is. She can see that she is in a wedding dress (which is covered in blood) but can’t remember anything. She quickly finds out that no one can see her, so she must be dead. When she comes across a funeral, she is surprised to find one person who may actually see her. When her and Scott begin to uncover the truth about her past…it comes as quite a shock (to both Zelda and the reader).

Can they uncover the mystery behind her death before she has to move on to whatever afterlife awaits her? And even though they are both in different realms, what is this connection that can be felt between Scott and Zelda?

This is a new-to-me author…but it definitely won’t be the only book I read from them. I found myself pulled into the story from the first chapter. I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) put it down until I got to the end to find out what really happened. There were twists and turns…tears and relief…suspense and mystery…this story has it all. I enjoyed it and will definitely be checking out the rest of the series.
