Reporter Gera Stapleton has a difficult choice to make: write the story of a lifetime or save the legacy of a town—and a man—she has come to love. Assigned to a piece in Jerome, Arizona about a once-friendly ghost gone on a crime spree, Gera stumbles upon an amazing tale of greed, deception, and family honor—and murder. When the killer targets her as the next victim, an unlikely savior comes to her rescue. Smart dialogue, plenty of action, and a touch of the supernatural make this a must-read novel."Becki Willis blends bits of history with bits of fancy and weaves a tantalizing tale you won't soon forget."

HALL WAYS REVIEW: From
the very beginning, I knew I would enjoy author Becki Willis's writing style.
In Tangible Spirits, she puts readers
straight into the setting and into the head of our main character, Gera, who is
clearly unhappy with her latest reporting assignment. Willis uses snippets of
thought and sentences that fit perfectly with the way a reporter's mind would
collect details. I also love the parallels drawn between the changing scenery
and Gera's changing mood. As her surroundings provoke memories, Gera softens
once she allows them to come. It's an excellent vehicle for readers to get some
insight into Gera's past.
"Life was simply too precious to
discard
with the cessation of breath."
One of the things that piqued my interest
when I first saw Tangible
Spirits (in addition to the FABULOUS book cover) was
the paranormal element. Gera is a skeptic, and readers will enjoy her logic and
challenges to the thinking of the people in this allegedly haunted small town.
It's
fun to piggy-back on her experiences on the ghost tours and semi-creepy
encounters and draw your own conclusions. Even though readers are likely to
figure things out faster than Gera does, it doesn't really take away from the
unfolding of the fascinating multiple storylines and sprinkling of history that
enrich the story. Beware the ends of chapters because you won't be able to stop
reading there. The hooks! The cliffhangers!
Tangible Spirits has
all the elements that cozy story lovers enjoy - there's murder and mystery and
a bit of mayhem, but it's countered with feel-good moments and a steamy romance
that -- in true cozy fashion -- leaves the details behind closed doors. (YAYYYY!)
The book has a scattering of typos and comma errors that most won’t notice, but
none detracted from the quality of the story and Willis’s ability to tell a
tale. I see why this book is an award winner.
I don’t know if there
will be another adventure for Gera and the cast of characters (both otherworldly
and not) who surround her, but I sure hope so. Either way, I will be seeking
out other titles by author Becki Willis, who is clearly a gifted writer.
Thank you to Lone Star Book Blog Tours and
the author for providing me a print copy in exchange for my honest opinion –
the only kind I give.
To the delight of readers around the world, Becki Willis writes memorable characters in believable situations. Best known for Forgotten Boxes and The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series, Becki has won numerous awards, but says her biggest achievement is her family and her loyal reader base.
