Genre: Contemporary romance with a paranormal twist.

Publication Date: March 25, 2014

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

A fantastical romance involving a girl, the music that fuels her, and her Ouija board.

Rosalyn possesses a sunny personality that is laced with quirks. Although she seeks acceptance in a world where she lives out of time, what she gets is ridiculed for her eclectic wardrobe and unconventional music collection.

One fateful night, Rosalyn bewitches Niles, a stylish man whose offbeat character perfectly complements her own. Unfortunately, he possesses a critical flaw that means relationship suicide for him and pretty much anyone.

While under the influence of insomnia-impaired judgment, Rosalyn summons Rock ‘n Roll deity Peter Lane back from the dead. Not only does he spin her hormones into a frenzy, Peter is also the precarious puzzle piece that brings sense into her world. When Niles learns that he can overcome his life-long challenge by helping Peter avenge his death, how far will he go to secure Rosalyn’s heart?

3.5/5

The story starts with Peter's death and Rosalyn finding a rare album at a music store. It goes back and and forth between what is going on with Rosalyn and Peter's life in 1966. Rosalyn meets Nile's at a bar and they hit it off. They both hit it off because they feel they are awkward in their time. Then she starts to see and talk to him on her Ouija board.

It was a good book. It was funny at parts and was a quick read. It jumped around a lot so sometimes I didnt know how much time passed between the last time Rosalyn/Peter talked. It moved a little to slowly for me and some parts there was a little to much that I really didn't need. Besides that it was a fun quick read.

Enjoying San Francisco as a backdrop, the ghosts in Diane’s 150-year old Victorian home augment the chorus in her head. With insomnia as their catalyst, these voices have become multifarious characters that haunt her well into the sun’s crowning hours, refusing to let go until they have manipulated her into succumbing to their whims. Her experiences as an actress, business owner, artisan cake designer, software project manager, Internet radio disc jockey, vintage rock n’ roll journalist/fangirl, and lover of dark and quirky personalities influence her idiosyncratic writing.
