When Misty Dawn, a former Hollywood Psychic to the Stars, moves into an old craftsman house, she encounters the former owner, the recently deceased Hollywood set designer, Wilson Thorne.
Wilson is unaware of his circumstances, and when Misty explains the particulars of his limbo state, and how he might help himself if he helps her, he’s not at all happy. That is until young actress Zoey Chamberlain comes to Misty’s door for help.
Zoey has recently purchased The Pink Mansion, a historic Hollywood Hills home, and believes it’s haunted. But when Misty arrives to search the house, it’s not a ghost she finds, but a dead body.
The police are quick to suspect Zoey of murdering her best friend. Zoey maintains her innocence and fears her friend’s death may have been a result of the ghost...and a long-time family curse.
Together Misty and Wilson must untangle the secrets of The Pink Mansion or submit to the powers of the family curse.

The House on Hallowed Ground by
Nancy Cole Silverman is the debut novel in A Misty Dawn Mystery series. She was once a psychic to the stars who did
the talk show circuit (Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin) and consulted with the FBI. Now, she is down on her luck and living in
her VW bus with her cat, Bossypants. When
Denise offers Misty her deceased brother’s home in exchange for readings, she
is quick to move in. What Misty did not
know is that her brother’s spirit, Wilson Thorne still inhabits the home. Misty is visited by actress, Zoey who believes
her home, the Pink Mansion is haunted. Before
Misty can address the ghost situation, Zoey’s friend is murdered, and Zoey is
at the top of the suspect list. Misty
with Wilson’s help begins searching for answers. Misty Dawn is a unique character and I like that
she is an older protagonist. She was not
going to let Wilson scare her out of her new home. Misty showed Wilson that she had no intention
of departing. Wilson was a set designer
who managed to collect numerous unique pieces over the years. He may have left his estate to his sister,
but Wilson does not like Denise in his home or touching his belongings. Denise is a dramatic woman who believes Hugh
Jackman is her soul mate. The character’s
antics will have you laughing. The
murder mystery provides multiple suspects and misdirection. You will wonder if the ghost killed Zoey’s
best friend or did a human commit the deed.
I enjoyed the paranormal aspects
with the ghosts and a family curse. The
ending was sweet and left me smiling. The
House on Hallowed Ground is a lighthearted paranormal cozy mystery with sensitive
specters, a zealous admirer, an acclaimed actress, polluted possessions, and a
seasoned spiritualist.
The House on Hallowed Ground is available at Amazon (Amazon UK), B&N, and Kobo. To win a signed copy of The House on Hallowed Ground (U.S. Only), click here or enter via the Rafflecopter form below.
