The Spirit Guide - Elizabeth Davies

Ok so this book is a little different to the ones I normally read. Let's face it, I love a good Alpha, Dom/sub, contemporary romance type book. So you'll notice that this book is so very different from 'my type'.

This can only mean one thing! The author has asked me to read it and review it.

I must say I was so close to saying no. Mainly because I don't normally do ghosts or werewolves or vampires or anything I don't believe in. But I'm all for fairness and I always maintain the 'I'll try anything once' attitude, so I thought don't look a gift horse in the mouth and give it a go.

The Spirit Guide - Synopsis

Seren has an unusual gift – she sees spirits, the shades of the dead. 

Terrified of being accused of witchcraft, a very real possibility in twelfth century Britain, she keeps her secret close, not even confiding in her husband. 

But when she gives her heart and soul to a man who guides spirits in the world beyond the living, she risks her secret and her life for their love.

Rachel's Review

As mentioned above this is not my normal reading fodder. It took me a while to get into it mainly because of my feelings about ghosts and spirits. I ended putting it down and picking it back up several times.

It is, however, a seriously beautifully written book. So descriptive and evokes so many images of 12th century Britain, this is obviously the authors forte. Instead of brown eyes there were 'eyes the colour of pine martin fur'. I mean how beautiful is that! 

I'm also partial to books based in the UK at least when I'm reading it the voice in my head is probably close to what they sound like,

Although this book wouldn't be my first choice, anyone that loves historical/ paranormal romances needs to read this book. 

Rachel's Rating

Not my thing but still 3.5 stars for the beautiful writing. ***
