First Impression Review

A Shadow Maven Paranormal

Chira Kelly thought she didn’t need anyone…until she met Ben. Because of one ugly rumor, Chira lives as an outcast at her school. Which is fine with her, because she works better alone. Always has, always will. And at least she has her one and only true friend, Tasha. When Tasha insists that they join a group to visit a possibly haunted abandoned old schoolhouse, she's wary, but joins her friend. Because of that decision, their lives are in jeopardy as a malevolent spirit targets the group. Tragedies and accidents pick them off one by one, and Chira finds herself drawn to the one person who can see the truth. But can he protect her?

My Review

3.8/5

Chira is the main character and she seems like a very nice normal person. She meets Ben and he interests her since she cant figure him out. Chira and Tasha go with a group to tour a haunted house and then everything spirals downward. Friends start getting hurt and dying. Before you know it almost all of Chira's group is gone. Even more strange is someone is following her and she has no idea who it is. I love watching Ben and Chira's relationship develop. A good read with some mystery involved.

Author Bio:

In simple language, Pauline Creeden creates worlds that are both familiar and strange, often pulling the veil between dimensions. She becomes the main character in each of her stories, and because she has ADD, she will get bored if she pretends to be one person for too long. Pauline is a horse trainer from Virginia, but writing is her therapy. Her books have hit #1 on the Amazon Bestseller List and Armored Hearts won the 2013 Book Junkie’s Choice Award in Historical Fiction.
