A Tale as Old as Time
by
Mya O'Malley
Some tales as old as time have deep, dark secrets that are never meant to be uncovered. Jackson, a recently separated man, steers clear of women, even his sexy southern co-worker, Kristen. An unlikely friendship between the two begins as they partner up to solve a cold mystery, one dating back to 1871. The seaside pub in which they are both employed becomes a setting of intrigue and danger.
What starts out as an intriguing way to pass the time becomes an obsession of sorts as Jackson bonds with the spirit Mille, an agonized soul who’s seeking closure and true love at a deadly price. This jealous spirit will stop at nothing to see that Kristen is no longer a threat in her manipulative plan.
Add to the plot a beautiful, mysterious stranger named Emily, who captures Jackson’s heart but leaves him wanting more. Jackson’s got his hands full of women with issues. Will Mille find that true love is more than meets the eye or is she destined to spend eternity trapped in a house filled with heartache?

MY REVIEW
I enjoyed this one. It's a mix of lots of genres into one page turning story. We have romance, mystery, history, a ghost and a whiff of danger.....
I really liked Jackson his an easy going guy that is slowly rebuilding his life after his soon to be ex-wife cheated on him! He certainly had some nerve that's for sure, I'd have run a mile from there and got another job!!
Kristen, is Jackson's workmate and joint ghost detective, they have a constantly changing relationship and I'm glad she didn't have as much nerve as Jackson as it wasn't exactly safe for her there, and made me feel uneasy. I scare easily lol.
Millie, what to say about her, she's bitter and cross and she had a tale and a half to tell.
I enjoyed both the past and present stories that are intertwined in this book and had no idea which way it would go!
An intriguing story. Now to try to sleep after finishing a ghost story.....
