This author knows how to bring just the right amount of supernatural into a romance with real life issue. She hasn’t disappointed. You immediately fall into the lives of Scott and Zelda and you can’t put the book down until it’s done. Plenty of twist and surprises.

Scott and Zelda meet in a very strange fashion and develop an interesting relationship. Zelda doesn’t remember who she is or why she’s a ghost and Scott helps her find out what happened to her. The story is something you would never believe! An amazing page turner about a ghost and her story. Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

This is a spin off of another of this author’s series. I have not read that series and did not get confused or lost so I feel like this book can certainly be read as a stand alone if you, like me, have yet to read her other books. However, I will warn you once you read this book you will want to go back and read more of her work. She is an unusually creative author. I truly enjoyed the little details she adds to her story that makes not only the story, but the characters, the places, the happenings and the emotional all come to life as if you are watching them on the big screen.
Ruby is a great character and I love that she isn’t the epitome of perfection. She uses those imperfections to her advantage to help solve this gruesome murder of her cast mate. I thoroughly appreciated this authors talent in making a story come to life and look forward to book two!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Talking to dead people’s spirits is one thing, but having to deal with the constant requests and sad stories could be very depressing. This experience could even drive one to go insane or kill one’s self. Scott is just starting to get used to his gift, as much as a person can, when he finds the spirit of a girl he can’t ignore. He calls her Zelda, because she can’t remember anything about herself from when she was alive. He wants to help her find out the truth so she can move on. But can you have feelings for someone who you are helping move on? Will her past bring up too many bad memories? This book is well written and a great start to a series that will be a new experience for everyone to read.

I love paranormal stories and this one intrigued me because it seems like the ghost whisperer series from tv. This book was a fairly quick read for me because I simply could not turn the pages fast enough. Just wanting to get to the end to solve the mystery.

Scott, our main male character, has at one point experienced death. Only for a few short moments but it was enough to alter his life whether for good or bad that is what he needs to determine. Scott comes across Zelda, our female ghost, who doesn’t remember anything about how she lived or how she died. She is simply in a blood stained wedding dress with only one person that can see her. Together, they attempt to figure out what happened to Zelda and get incredibly close in the process. How do you love someone who is already dead? This story has mystery, intrigue, and romance that will make you keep reading to the very end. Can you solve what happened to Zelda before Scott can help her? This is simply an amazing book that I am going to recommend to everyone I meet!

Peaceful Slumber is a very good read. I was not prepared to enjoy Scott and Zelda’s story as much as I did. It’s so lovely yet so tragic. A good mystery/suspense plot with intriguing characters. I have to say if I were Scott I would’ve kept up the plan to not show that I could see the ghosts but he did we would not have had such a lovely story. Off to read the next in the series!

This book uses a somewhat common theme – the ability to communicate with and see the dead. However, it spins this theme into an unexpected romance, and it works better than you would think! I enjoyed this easy read, especially how the two characters, Scott and Zelda, developed throughout the books. Both had satisfying stories and character growth, and there were twists that I definitely didn’t expect! There were times that I thought the book was over and questions were being left unanswered, but all the loose ends were tied up by the end! I would definitely recommend this book!

Scott sees ghosts whether he wants to or not. Zelda is in the cemetery in a bloody wedding dress when he sees her. They are drawn to each other without explanation. Can he help her recover her memories? Can they figure out what happened? The story is amazing. I sat on the edge of my seat throughout.

Another perfect book to read during spooky season, Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett, the first in the Soul Connection series, is a romantic ghost story that will pull in all readers. From the very beginning, the story is full of mystery and suspense, the reader wondering at the end of every chapter what will happen next.

The chemistry between Scott and Zelda is tangible as helps her to figure out what has happened to her. How did she die? Where did she come from? All of these questions and more are at the forefront of their minds throughout the book, making it a quick read as more questions arise as others are being answered.

This is the first book by Nikki Lynn Barrett that I have read, but I plan to read the next two books in the Soul Connections series right away, as I fell in love with the characters she has written and am excited to see what comes next in their stories!

Peaceful slumber was a great read in the paranormal category. Having an incident occur that allows you to see ghosts is pretty insane, but the book was so well written! It was one that made you think and feel so much so quickly! The plot was well thought out and I found this book to be a great start to the series! Easy to read and a great page-turner.

Scott is a young man that has the gift of being able to see and communicate with ghosts. While at a funeral for one of his few endeared family members, he makes contact with a young woman in a bloody wedding dress that has no memory of how she died or who she is. Despite not normally being willing to help the ghosts that come to him, he feels drawn to helping her figure out the mystery that was her life.
This book had a little bit of a slow start, but I was soon caught in trying to piece together the pieces to solve Zelda’s (aka Ghost Bride) life. I will admit that none of my predictions despite the love interests came true while reading this book. The end of this book had me on the edge of my seat for a moment and the plot twists in this book are commendable. Definitely a riveting read all in all.

Scott survived and now he sees ghosts. Normally, he is bothered by them and gets aggravated but not “Zelda”, a ghost who showed up with no memory of who she is and what has happened to her. Can Scott help her so she can move on, or is there something more to this story? As he tries to help her, feelings evolve, as well as, the truth and who she is. I normally don’t read a paranormal stories, but this one was very intriguing and had me captivated from page one.

Peaceful Slumber by Nikki Lynn Barrett is the first book in the Soul Connection Series. It is an amazing paranormal romance and mystery in one.

Scott was clinically dead for a few minutes, and that has given him the ability to see ghosts. At a graveyard service, a lady in a blood-stained wedding dress appears, but he is the only one who can see her. As Scott tries to find out who the ghost is, and what happened, he can’t help but fall for her, or what he knows of her.

A must read for sure! Can’t wait for the next story!

Oh my goodness, I fell in love with with Scott and Zelda They have so many challenges to go through to find the love that they know is there for them. The plot is so well written and smooth that I didn’t want to stop reading. I kept going just one more chapter and found I couldn’t put my kindle down. The characters feel real. The emotion and personality can take you up and down like a hurricane in Florida. It’s a beautiful love story with a bit of murder, mystery, romance, mental illness, a bit of comedy and a touch of ghosts. I’m excited to see there are two more books in the series. Scott and Zelda may just be my new favorite romance pairing of the year. This is a true paranormal that you just cannot miss.

Simon is a loner. He has been seeing ghosts in the last few years. It’s not an easy thing to describe to the people you know. He tried once…telling his parents, but they made him go to therapy. So now, he just doesn’t talk about it.

Today Simon is in a cemetery. Not the best place for one who sees ghosts. He tries to ignore them all, but one stands out. She’s in a wedding dress, and she looks lost. “Zelda” as he ends up calling her is in the spirit world but has no recollection of her previous life. This begins a partnership between the two of them as they try to piece together the missing parts of her life.

Peaceful Slumber is an amazing story. You will love the characters from the onset. They are wonderfully created and as the puzzle pieces of Zelda’s life are put in order, you will be shocked to learn of the depths to which people will go if it will make their life better.

This is the second book I have read by this author. Very different from the first but still amazing!! A man who can see ghosts…..and a ghost who doesn’t remember her past, not even her name. I love that the geekiness shows through as he calls her Zelda, as she didn’t like getting called ghost bride.. They have so many hurdles to finding out who this woman is, and why she can’t remember anything. Scott was a very endearing character as he struggled to come to terms with his “gift”.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I like stories with a bit of paranormal and love mysteries. I also love the sarcastic banter between Scott and Zelda. While some events of the story were anticipated, there were several twists that I did not expect and it made the storyline thoroughly enjoyable. The basics of the story was unique, and made for an entertaining read. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes paranormal and mysteries.

I thought I had read other books by Nikiki Lynn Barrett, but to my surprise this is the first! I am so excited to have found a new to me author that I like…no that I love! Even the cover is great and I really don’t care about covers!

Peaceful Slumber is a mystery with a little romance, with a little paranormal, with a big adventure! This is a story that I could not put down. I had to know what was going to happen, who was going to do it and why it was happening! Barrett put just enough suspicion in this story that anything was possible.

I love stories that touch on social situations. Barrett has chosen mental health. While it is a very serious topic, her story gives a little hope to those who also suffer. Finding that one person who is your one is hard enough and being anything different makes it even harder.

Zelda is the female main character and Barrett really puts her through every tough situation you could think of. Except Zelda doesn’t remember any of it. Including her own name. Scott seems like the only one that could help her. They are both lost souls who are a little different and they are perfect for each other. However, with so much unknown in this story it doesn’t look like there will be a happy ending.

The storyline is ORIGINAL…at least from my list of books. I really love this story!

I highly recommend this story and can not wait to read anything by Barrett! Since this is the first book in the Soul Connection series, there will be more!!!

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.

Peaceful Slumber will have you flipping pages faster than you can blink. Nikki Lynn Barrett has really outdone herself with this “ghost story”. After reading the synopsis of this story i was hooked right away, and Nikki definitely did not disappoint. Peaceful Slumber is an emotional roller coaster ride so make sure you have a box of tissues handy for all the tear jerking moments, but youll have quite a few heart-warming moments and be smiling by the end. But if you want a ghost story full of  twists and turns, love, deceit, wonderfully developed characters and a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end then I highly recommend Peaceful Slumber.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Scott is a teenager and a bit of a recluse, he is jaded and sarcastic and pushes people away and keeps his own council, he doesn’t get along with his parents, or at least he doesn’t now, not since he died and was brought back, but the only problem with that is that now he can see the dead when nobody else can and that is why he is how he is. She is a ghost, she is wearing a wedding dress covered in blood and has no memories of who she is or what has happened, apart from that she is dead and nobody can see her, that is until she locks eyes with someone at a funeral and that all changes.

I have woken up in a dark place with fog swirling around my feet, I can’t feel anything and I can’t see anybody else around me, but I’m shivering and can feel a cold wind swirling around me, but as I start to panic, I can hear voices, someone sobbing and others trying to comfort them, but when I try to make contact, they can’t hear me. Scott is at the funeral of his Uncle, they are gathered around the grave while the ceremony is conducted, he is there for his Aunt and nobody else, but the dead are all around him and trying to get his attention, so far he has managed to ignore them all, if not, then they will swarm him and ask for his help, that is until one female ghost catches his attention, she is wearing a bloody wedding dress and for some reason he can’t look away and she notices and looks relieved. After he has finished avoiding his parents, he goes over to talk to her, and albeit he is short with her, she doesn’t back off and he is surprised to find that he invites her back to his house so he can help her.

Why did I have to find the one sarcastic guy in the world who can see me, even worse, I’m slightly attracted to him, as I ask him question and he does in return, how little memories I have are worrying and I don’t know what to do, but as Scott seems to be my only ally and we seem to get on well, I’ll take a chance. I get annoyed with Scott when he keeps calling me Ghost Bride, so I ask him to give me a different name and one he likes, he comes up with Zelda, apparently a character from a video game, but I like it, so that is one thing, as he suggests getting the laptop out to start on the research, I realise that I am happy that he will help me when nobody else can. Scott meanwhile is realising that this ghost is attractive, funny and can give the sarcasm as much as he can, so he decides that helping her could be fun, until she leaves, but still he cannot stop himself from noticing how attractive she is and how even though he knows she is dead, he still can’t ignore the fact that she makes him feel alive again.

Will Scott and Zelda be able to figure out who she is and how she died and how will this affect them both of the mystery can be solved? This is a romance with a very paranormal twist, with a mystery you will want to solve as well.

After being brought back to life after a close call with death, Scott can now see ghosts. It is not something he relishes in and he tries to avoid the spirits that seek him at all costs. That is until one particular ghost in a wedding dress appears to him at his late uncle’s funeral. Not having any memories of who she is, Scott works with her to figure out who she is and how he can help her. I really enjoyed this book. Both the main characters are likeable, and you really find yourself rooting for the. The plot is beautifully written and well thought out, there is lots of twists and turns to keep you interested but the main focus of the story is still there. I was intrigued to find out about Scott’s part and why he had such a connection to this ghost in particular. Seeing both characters develop over the book was particularly exciting. A great read.

Scott has died before. When he is brought back to life, he has a side effect. He can see ghosts. He usually ignores them until he sees a bride in a bloody wedding gown. He tries to help her find out what happened and his life is permanently altered.
Opinion
I was a huge fan of the show Ghost Whisperer and still love the paranormal. This book certainly called to me. I completely enjoyed this story as it told about Scott and Zelda. Some of the parts of Zelda’s story were quite a shock. This is definitely a great romantic suspense book.

Peaceful Slumber is the first book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett.

This story took me well out of my comfort zone. After literally facing death, for a few minutes at least, Scott’s life changed forever. Everything he knew, or thought he knew, has been turned on its head. He not only has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, but he finds himself helping to solve the puzzle that will help set someone free.

This book is very well written, it is easy to read and the characters are fantastic. There are plenty of surprises to keep you guessing, and the twists and turns throughout the storyline will keep you turning pages. If, like me, ghost stories aren’t your usual pick I would definitely recommend giving this book a chance.

I absolutely recommend this story. Nikki Lynn Barrett has written one heck of a ghost story. Three years ago Scott died, for 10 minutes. After he was revived, things had changed for him. He could see ghosts. Scott has to work his way through a maze of lies and deceit to make the lovely Zelda whole again. A ghost story with suspense and a mystery all wrapped up in pages that basically turn themselves.
