Every woman goes through changes in their forties.
Just not… these changes.Robin Brannon was a normal wife, mom, and antique shop owner until a brush with death turned her day-to-day life upside down. Now she and her two best friends are seeing things that belong in a fantasy novel. Ghosts. Visions. Omens of doom. Nothing that belongs in the peaceful mountain town they call home.
Added to that, Robin’s marriage is on the rocks, her grandmother’s health is failing, her mother is driving away the customers at her shop, her teenage daughter refuses to get her drivers’ license, and her left knee aches every darn morning.
Robin doesn’t have the time, energy, or knees to unearth the secrets buried at the bottom of Glimmer Lake, but fate doesn’t seem to care. Some secrets are just dying to be exposed.
When three middle-aged women crash into Glimmer Lake, they awaken with strange abilities. Suddenly Psychic by Elizabeth Hunter is the first novel in the Glimmer Lake trilogy. Danger, friendships and ghostly apparitions await you in this addictive tale.
Robin Brannon should be happy. Her youngest is a senior in high school, her son is off in college and her husband works from home. She owns a successful antique business, but she is feeling unfulfilled. Her best friends have issues too, one owns the local diner and the other recently lost her husband. When the three of them go out to celebrate a birthday, they end up at the bottom of Glimmer Lake.
The accident has changed things for Robin, Val and Monica. They have new found abilities. This book is Robins, and she is seeing spirits. Soon the ladies are caught up in a murder mystery from the past. The accident has caused a shift at home and a renewed perspective for Robin, her husband and family.
I loved the elements of danger and each of the ladies unique abilities. Together they make a great investigative team. Each is learning to harness and understand their gifts.
Friendships, relationship growth, personal growth and paranormal woo-woo pulled me into this tale. The mystery was captivating and well-plotted. Hunter knows how to engage her readers and I loved this lighter fiction from her.
Fans of cozy mysteries, women’s fiction and friendships with characters in their 40s will love this novel, series and new genre.

I loved this one too, Kimberly. Elizabeth Hunter was already a favourite author but I’m so glad that she’s joined the PWF revolution.

Sounds like a good read. I am intrigued and at the same time a little timid to read about ghosts and paranormal..

Glad you liked this one so much! I’ve really been loving this line of books, they have been so much fun to binge read during quarantine. This one was’t my favorite of them all so far but, it was a nice read.
