My wish for a sequel to the amazing Ghost Gifts and Foretold is fulfilled with this hauntingly breathtaking love story of Peter St John, who is pulled once again into his past and his dreams of Esme, wanting desperately to know the connections of spirits and what they mean for his future. Pete realizes that his mother Aubrey holds powerful ghost gifts that force her make a decision that affects both of them deeply and he is torn with this knowing and the mystery of his own ghost gifts. Pete's horrific past of being in the war and terrifying memories cause him even more grief along with his PTSD as he seeks to escape them by taking on tours of duty as a photo journalist far away from home. The details of the war provide a very authentic sense of the history of those days. I loved each character, the rich descriptive details and poetic prose that the author folds into her story making each new discovery one that is spell binding. Chance encounters, ghost gifts reveals, or fate, this psychic love story is filled with suspense, emotions that tear at your heart, as the twists and turns keep coming and had me completely immersed and savoring each page not wanting this book to end.

Laura Spinella once again deftly weaves a spellbinding tale of the past mixing with the present in the final book in this series. I loved reading all the books, but I was particularly looking forward to this one. I wasn’t disappointed.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!

Oh, it was so good that I could have read it faster, but did not want it to end. This is the third in the Ghost Gifts trilogy and it does NOT disappoint! The past and present are neatly intertwined while throwing in twists, turns and history! This book can be read alone, but I recommending reading them all!

While past characters from Ghost Gifts and Foretold are present, the main story is about Peter St. John's constant struggle with his present and reliving the past in his dreams... Some very violent dreams. Pete and his Mom struggle with the spirits that live through them and from one particularly scary event, Pete's Mom, Aubrey, has to make the difficult choice to force Pete out of their lives for everyone's safety. This leads Pete to truly discover the truths of the past so he could come to terms with his present. You can relate to the characters, their happiness, their struggles, all their emotions. I read chapter after chapter anticipating what would come next.

Wonderful story and a great end to the trilogy.

This book was an amazing ending to the Ghost Gifts series. Echo Moon is the story of Pete St. John now in the present and his past life from 1917 that haunts him. Pete knows in 1917 that he loved Esme and he also knows he killed her. At its heart, Echo Moon is an amazing love story. I loved the characters of this series Aubrey, Levi, Pete, and Esme. They are so very real and you feel everything they feel. I cried many times as I read this book as parts are truly heartbreaking. The story keeps you guessing as you are surprised with every twist and turn. I truly loved this story from beginning to end. I received an Advance Review Copy of this book from NetGalley and Montlake Romance. All opinions are my own.

Once again I'm sad that a book has ended. This series grabs you right back in to the people involved. I missed them while waiting for Echo Moon to be finished but it was so worth the wait. I'm going to read them all over so that I can enjoy even more the connections between them. You have outdone your self but even in saying that All of your books are just a joy to read. I read often but it isn't sit down and read for hours because I have grand-kids here often, friends and a little bit of a life. So I love when a book makes everything stop! When it is so good little else matters. Thank you for being one of the best writers I've read! Can't wait for what is next!!

My Review of “Echo Moon” by Laura Spinella

I was enchanted and captivated by “Echo Moon” by Laura Spinella. Laura Spinella writes an amazing, intense, intriguing, unique and spellbinding story. This is the Finale in the Ghost-Gifts Series, and yet it can be read as a stand-alone. I suggest that you read the other two books to enjoy and appreciate the character history before you read “Echo Moon” The Genres for this book are Fiction, Para-Normal, Mystery and Suspense, Romance, with an essence of History. The author weaves her story with vivid descriptions of her colorful cast of characters and a timeline of the past, present and possibility of future events.

The author describes her characters as complex and complicated. One of my favorite characters Aubrey Ellis, and her special psychic gifts, is back. Some of the grifters and “characters” alive, and once alive are back. In this novel, Aubrey’s son, Peter St. John is now grown and a prominent photo-journalist going to dangerous places. Pete avoids coming home, where his own psychic abilities clash with his mother’s. Pete is tormented by his past.

Peter is forced to come to terms with the events of his past life in order to exist in the present and move on to the future. There are twists and turns and mystery and adventure. As long-buried secrets unravel, and there is more psychic involvement with the characters, the pieces of the puzzle finally seem to fit. I loved everything about Laura Spinella’s novel. My only disappointment is that I will miss the characters and I hope that the author will write some more about them. I highly recommend this novel to readers of imagination that appreciate fiction and romance. I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

ECHO MOON is the third and final book of Laura Spinella’s Ghost Gifts Trilogy. Having read the first two books, GHOST GIFTS and FORETOLD, I could not wait to read ECHO MOON and it is undoubtedly the best of them all. ECHO MOON tells an intriguing story filled with romance, mystery and suspense. I could not turn the pages fast enough to reach the dramatic and unexpected conclusion. The characters are so expertly portrayed that I feel like I know them personally. Peter St. John and Esme’s story, with past and present woven seamlessly together, is exquisitely told, with every detail playing a role in the complex plot. I will not soon forget this beautifully-written and captivating tale and I highly recommend it. Reading GHOST GIFTS and FORETOLD first will enhance the experience of ECHO MOON even further. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy of this wonderful book.

I just finished this riveting, fascinating, heart-tugging, heart-pounding book. My emotions and thoughts are swirling...I want to weep and smile at the same time. Echo Moon is the perfect blend of past and present, spirits and humans, suspense, mystery, and romance, woven together in this spellbinding book. I read every chapter with anticipation and trepidation...I never knew, never came close to suspecting what was going to happen next. I was so emotionally invested in this story and its incredible cast of characters, feeling their joys, their pains, their terrors, their hopes, their sadness, their love. If you haven’t done so already, read the first two books in this trilogy...Ghost Gifts and Foretold...before turning to the first page of this one. Laura Spinella, you are so gifted, your story-telling skills are dazzling, you always surprise me. And I’m so sad my time with Aubrey, Levi, and Pete is over...
