Spirited (The Tapestry of Memory and Shadows)

Tick, tick, tick ... the first sign of doom comes in the click in walls and corners, and unseen places ... and the three women of the Kinley family know it all too well.

Ashes scattered from the fire of the book, the old family house feels safe to Juliette and Antoine once again, whose life is turning a new chapter after some surprising news. Alone since Rachel's departure, an unexpected visitor in the night brings a third party under their roof. Eccentric, but seemingly harmless, her cousin Talina is in search of family history, and keen on seeing any old family records under Noreen's roof. Seemingly,that is, until her confession and a tattered canvas tapestry reveal a part of their past which seems to have a life of its own.

Whereas Sylvia is now engaged to Jonas, running her new bakery from a new location, and generally lying about her family. But as her wedding day approaches, the thread holding her excuses is growing thin, and her past -- including the one part she wishes never to reveal -- will soon come tumbling at Jonas's feet.

When news of an upcoming family change reaches her, nomadic Rachel's road detours homewards once more, although she has no intention of staying long this time. The tentacles of their cousin's revelation draw her in too deeply to escape, however, when the unmistakable signs of a paranormal presence appear. After what happened before, ignoring it comes at the peril of those who don't mind sharing space with the hostile unseen.

Lights flicker, furniture moves, bodies float—and as limbs twist to inhuman angles, it's time for the Kinley women to uncover another family secret, even one that doesn't truly seem to exist. With the aid of Blanche the medium, they have only this chance before doom falls on a member of their family.

Between shadows of folk tales and mountain superstitions, and the dangerous illusions of both magic and love in this world, the sequel to ABRACADABRA crackles with family, fantasy, and the powerful bond of sisterhood between women.
