Left at an orphanage as a child, Thea Reed vowed to find her mother
someday. Now grown, her search takes her to Pleasant Valley, Wisconsin,
in 1908. When clues lead her to a mental asylum, Thea uses her
experience as a post-mortem photographer to gain access and assist
groundskeeper Simeon Coyle in photographing the patients and uncovering
the secrets within. However, she never expected her personal quest would
reawaken the legend of Misty Wayfair, a murdered woman who allegedly
haunts the area and whose appearance portends death.
A century later, Heidi Lane receives a troubling letter from her mother--who is battling dementia--compelling her to travel to Pleasant Valley for answers to her own questions of identity. When she catches sight of a ghostly woman who haunts the asylum ruins in the woods, the long-standing story of Misty Wayfair returns--and with it, Heidi's fear for her own life.
As two women across time seek answers about their identities and heritage, can they overcome the threat of the mysterious curse that has them inextricably intertwined?

My Thoughts:
Jaime Jo Wright is making a name for herself in the
Christian fiction genre. She has won a number of awards for The House on Foster Hill. Wright creates
historical time-slip suspense novels. Her latest book, The Curse of Misty Wayfair is a beautifully written suspense novel
showing the importance of every created person. With rapid succession, the
story begins like a ghost story and kept my rapid attention. Asylums are
uncertain and scary places, so Wright to create a story centered around one
gripped my attention. There is a soft romance included, but nothing to
forceful. This original and completely unpredictable story filled with
fascinating characters kept me spellbound. I really liked The Curse of Misty Wayfair and am glad the
Christian fiction genre took a gamble and printed this story. It is timely and
important for the world we live in. I pray the Christian publishing world keep
printing stories like this. Fans of Steven James, Carrie Stuart Parks, and
Lynette Eason might enjoy this novel. Definitely a great book to start 2019 off
with a bang!
I received a complimentary copy of The Curse of Misty Wayfair from Jaime Jo Wright from Bethany House
Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
5 out of 5 stars
