     Janet McLaughlin's cover of HAUNTED ECHO may pull you in, but her gift of writing in book one of the Soul Sight Mysteries will keep you reading.
     Main character Zoey with her ability to see and hear ghosts plans thinks she's going to have a vacation of fun and adventure with her best friend Becca and Becca's family on a Caribbean Island. But the ghost of a young slave girl needs Zoey's help and that changes everything.
     The teen book blends suspense, romance and the paranormal into a read that will surely win McLaughlin fans. Check it out:
