Inheritance

by Denise Kelly LeBlanc

Your family has a huge responsibility, and they need you.

Now.

In all of her eighteen years, normal has never been a word you could apply to Jess Gardner’s life. She is a medium, making her living by communicating with the dead. Even had she been a psychic, she couldn’t have predicted the drama about to be brought to her door. The messenger, Aaron Thorne, enters her world with the news that the mother she’d thought dead is still alive. Suddenly, her maternal family is in desperate need of her help. Should Jess give up everything she knows to help a family she never knew existed? Also, a mysterious evil force is draining the life from the present Priestess, and Jess may be the only one who can save this newfound clan. Will the promise of uncovering more about herself, and a chance with a new family be enough to draw her into a potentially deadly situation?

[Danielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had the privilege of beta reading this book and fell in love with the story right off. Ms. LeBlanc has created such a rich and vivid world.

I love that this book is set in Canada. Being Canadian, I always enjoy well-written stories that take place in my home country. The world Ms.LeBlanc has created makes me want to visit Halifax and the surrounding area, just so I can see if Jess and Aaron really exist. I half expect them to.

This is just the first book in the Fallon Guardians, and I personally can't wait for the rest.

I’m a total sucker for humor and paranormal activity in the same package and Denise LeBlanc’s Inheritance introduces us to Jessica Gardner, a young woman with psychic gifts who is overwhelmed (and often irritated as hell) with the demands put on her by the ghosts only she can see who are desperate to communicate with the living. She had me early on in the third paragraph:

“In truth there were two different types of clients—the Sincere and the Greedy. Sounds a bit like the name of a soap opera, but it is nowhere near as mindlessly entertaining.”

The humorous look at a side of a psychic’s life reminded me of Whoopi Goldberg’s reluctant, besieged psychic in “Ghost.” Jess is 18 and has seen ghosts her whole life, which has made for problems growing up and forced her to screen even where she goes for a cup of coffee to avoid the demanding ghosts who seek her out. She makes part of her living as a medium on the word of mouth testimony of satisfied clients, but dealing with greedy survivors and cranky ghosts make her job stressful.

Jess needs every bit of humor she can muster when she meets Aaron Thorne and her world turns upside down. Aaron connects with her physically and psychically, and he offers her information about her mother, whom she thought had died when she was born. Jess when she finds answers to questions she didn’t know to ask, dangers she couldn’t imagine and ways that her innate powers open up a new life for her.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and I found myself enjoying it from the first page onward. A fun, suspenseful read.
