Return to Stony Ridge

Again a story from the Eclipse series that isn't really all that paranormal. Theres a suggestion of ghost but it's not really all that central to the story and you could have easily eliminated it and still had a solid story going on. For me a paranormal story needs to have the paranormal as a central plot point and cold spots and shadows being seen flitting around in an old mansion don't really cut it.

PI Teri Johnson is trying to find her nephew, she knows he's in danger but she can't really reveal her part in the situation. She has to complete her mission but one of her ways into the refuge where her nephew and his step-mother was last seen is through contractor R J Monroe. Things get more complicated when she falls for RJ, but can she show more trust him?

Yeah it's pretty predictable and it is a fun read but it really didn't fill what I need from a paranormal romance. I think it would have scored higher if the author had abandoned the paranormal and just written this as a straight mystery. It kept me wondering what would happen next with the mystery and there were moments where I worried for some of the secondary characters. show less
