Now that his secret is out, Michael Sinclair finally agrees to join paranormal superstar Luke Rainer and the Cemetery Tours crew on an investigation. Not just any investigation. The biggest investigation of their career.

AFTER DEATH

Welcome to the Circus of the Dead.
When Michael Sinclair receives an invitation to the grand opening of Cirque Somniatis, he figures it will be a good opportunity to get away from ghosts, potential in-laws, and the seemingly endless stream of rejected job applications… And a chance to spend a romantic weekend at the circus with Kate.

Some secrets are best kept laid to rest.

At least, that’s as far as Michael Sinclair is concerned. At twenty-seven, he has spent his entire life perfecting the art of pretending that the ghosts he encounters on a daily basis do not exist. Now, if only the dead would let him rest in peace.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem likely, especially after Kate Avery and her ailing brother, Gavin, move in next door. Kate and Gavin are haunted, and not by a dearly departed loved one. This spirit is aggressive, menacing, and harboring a dark resentment toward Gavin. In spite of every instinct advising him to walk away, Michael finds himself seeking to uncover the mysteries of Gavin’s past, and falling for the bright and lovely Kate. Yet competing for her affection is Luke Rainer, television’s hottest celebrity ghost hunter and the only (living) person to know Michael’s secret.

But the dead have secrets, too. Some will go to any length to withhold what should have gone with them to the grave, while others will risk everything to make their voices heard, even if that means putting another’s life at stake. Now, for the sake of friends and strangers alike, Michael must choose between preserving his cherished anonymity and lending his aid to those for whom all hope seems lost.

AWRW 5 Star Review of Cemetery Tours 1

Michael Sinclair lives a quiet, single, unassuming life, working for a library and um, well… seeing ghosts. Michael may be a medium but he doesn’t take advantage of his special ability. For he feels nothing good comes from interfering in the affairs of the dead.

That is until Gavin and his cute sister Kate move in across the hall at his apartment complex, a complex that is rumored to be haunted. A malevolent spirit has attached itself to Gavin, cute neighbor girl’s brother, and if Micheal doesn’t interfere, Kate could get caught up in the cross fire of the ghost’s intended target, (her brother). Now that wouldn’t be very gentlemanly of him, would it?

Micheal has bigger problems than a malevolent spirit next door, when his long time friend, the ‘Ghost Prince of Prime time’ swoops in for a visit. Kate becomes a total fan girl, fawning and hanging on Luke’s every word. How can Micheal compete with Luke, television’s hottest ghost hunter?

Cemetery Tours, a new adult, paranormal, romantic suspense by Jacqueline Smith completely blew me away! There are so many twists and turns, I got whiplash reading this book! But I loved every minute of it. So many things I had questions about were tied up nicely in the end, and the Author alludes to a sequel, *crossing my fingers & hoping*!

I loved the relationship between Gavin and Kate. If I could a pick a brother out for myself, I would pick Gavin. He is sweet, and a bit over-protective of his sister, but he means well. His sister comes before everyone, including himself.

I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed the antics between Micheal and Luke. Page after page I was cracking up over those two! THANK YOU Jacqueline for weaving Luke Rainer into the story! He was such a great supporting character.

I would HIGHLY recommend this book to fans of paranormal romance, and suspense. I give Cemetery Tours a well deserved 5 out of 5 ghosts! 🙂

In other words, I LOVED THIS BOOK!

Someone always dies… Someone is always left behind…

Now that his secret is out, Michael Sinclair finally agrees to join paranormal superstar Luke Rainer and the Cemetery Tours crew on an investigation. Not just any investigation. The biggest investigation of their career.

Once home to the wealthy Sterling Hall and his beloved wife, Joanna, Stanton Hall Manor in Maine is famous for the love story that inspired it… and the ghosts who now inhabit it. For Luke and the crew, Stanton Hall is a dream come true.

Unfortunately, some dreams turn out to be nightmares.

AWRW 5 Star Book Review of Between Worlds

Michael Sinclair is coming to terms with his new-found pseudo-celebrity status, when pro ghost hunter, Luke Rainer comes back in to town.

Luke needs Michael’s help, because the owner at a location he wants to investigate, specifically requested Michael. Now he just needs to get him on board!

Michael, after being coaxed by Kate, agrees, and off they go to investigate Stanton Hall Manor, a haunted mansion in Maine.

But this isn’t an ordinary ghost hunt. This mansion has a dark past, and Michael finds himself in a predicament that even Luke himself didn’t see coming. The crew is in danger, and Michael is the only one who can help.

Between Worlds, by Jacqueline E. Smith is Michael Sinclair’s story. And when you have Michael, you get his ghostly sidekick Brink! -Lovable, hilarious Brink! 🙂

It has been awhile since I read Cemetery Tours, so I was absolutely delighted to read Between Worlds, and fall back in love with the characters all over again. ❤ I really missed Michael, Brink, Kate, Gavin, and Luke! Cemetery Tours is a series I could read FOREVER! I would love to see more CT books from the perspectives of ALL the characters!

Overall, Between Worlds is an excellent, new-adult paranormal romance, with lovable ghost-hunting characters, that I absolutely would recommend to a friend. I love this series, and I look forward to the next installment!

Welcome to the Circus of the Dead.

When Michael Sinclair receives an invitation to the grand opening of Cirque Somniatis, he figures it will be a good opportunity to get away from ghosts, potential in-laws, and the seemingly endless stream of rejected job applications… And a chance to spend a romantic weekend at the circus with Kate.

But nothing is as it seems as Michael, Kate, and ghost-hunter extraordinaire Luke Rainer venture onto the haunted fairgrounds in the small town of Hugo, Oklahoma. New rivals, theatrical psychics, and a Ringmaster with a dark secret of his own all wait for them under the Big Top.

Come one, come all. Do not forego.
Step inside, enjoy the show…

AWRW 5 Star Book Review of After Death

“The Cirque Somniatus almost reminded her of fairs and carnivals growing up, but it was far more elegant, more majestic, than the fairgrounds of her childhood. The colors were primarily those of gemstones: garnets and amethysts, with touches of sunlight and moonlight embellishments. It was like stepping through the door to wonderland.”

 

When Michael Sinclair is offered three free weekend passes to The Circus of Dreams, he invites his girlfriend Kate, and ghost-hunter friend, Luke Rainer along for the ride.

They find themselves in a haunted circus, at the mercy of a lost soul who interferes with Michael and Kate’s relationship; a Ringmaster who may have an ulterior motive for inviting them; an extravagant psychic who warns them off; and even worse, Luke’s rival – who lives to stir up trouble for the three!

This fun, relaxing weekend quickly turns into a disaster…

Will the three land on their feet?

After Death, by Author Jacqueline E. Smith is nightmarishly awesome! I loved this installment of the Cemetery Tours book series.

The world building is phenomenal. I really enjoyed the haunted circus setting as well as all of the extravagant secondary characters. The author truly can paint a scene with her words. Reading this book was such an enjoyable experience.

Speaking of the characters, I loved it when Chance McDermott stepped into the novel. Luke’s reaction to Chance was priceless! My favorite character, (other than Michael, Kate, and Luke, of course,) was Claire. She added a different twist to After Death, and in the end, her interference strengthened Michael and Kate’s relationship. I just love a well-written paranormal romance. ❤

Like a good mystery, every character had me guessing – are they the villain of the story? When all was revealed I was delightfully surprised.I would recommend this series to fans of ghost-hunting shows, and to people who enjoy the paranormal in general. You won’t be disappointed!
