'The Shadows Behind Her Smile' is one of the best books I've read in a very long time. A paranormal thriller, it's a truly gripping read - one I couldn't put down. No spoilers here but there's an astounding new writer in town, and her name is Karen Millie-James!

This is easily the best novel I have read in the last five years, something made all the more astounding by the fact that this is the author’s first novel. Everything is masterful: the eloquent flow of language, descriptive style, intimate knowledge of the business...

This a great book. I looked forward to picking it up and continue reading it. Normally a book with references to the "spirit world" would put me off. But Karen makes this so believable and it enhances the readers experience. Can't wait for the sequel.
