Book: The Burning Soul

Author: Dawn Merriman

Pub Day: May 9th 2025

I’m Rylan Flynn. I hunt for ghosts and restless spirits, and solve the mysteries that make them haunt the living.

Flames leap from the windows of the burning house and smoke fills the air. I know immediately that this is no ordinary fire… With chaos all around her, the ghost of a young woman stands on the lawn, watching the blaze.

I call out, but she vanishes before I can learn what happened. When the police find her body in the ashes, it’s clear that she was murdered. A new twisted killer is stalking my hometown…

The obvious suspect is my friend Graham Rock. The house belonged to Graham, and the ghost I saw was his ex-girlfriend. Could he really be capable of something like this? Or is someone trying to destroy his life?

I’m desperate to find the truth. But my relationship with Detective Ford Pierce is in ruins, and he won’t let me join his investigation.

Even worse, an evil spirit that I trapped years ago has escaped. I need Ford’s help to track it down, but with so much tension between us I don’t know if he’ll believe me.

When another house burns down with someone inside, I know it’s on me to find answers—alone. Is the spirit behind these lethal attacks? Can I find the link between the victims and unmask the killer before the flames claim another soul?

A thrilling paranormal mystery packed with heart-stopping twists, The Burning Soul is perfect for fans of Heather Graham, Wendy Wang, and Noelle W. Ihli.

MY REVIEW:

The Burning Soul: A completely addictive paranormal mystery by Dawn Merriman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book of the series and just like the others I could not put it down,
Houses are burning and people are dying. Rylan can see and talk to ghosts and they help her solve what happened to them and she in turn helps them to the light.
Rylan had trapped an evil spirit ,that was in a puppet, in her brother's room and t is now on the loose and Rylan is wondering if he has something to do with the fires and dead bodies.
There is also a ghost in the court house so the night watchman has asked for help.
Rylan was dating the detective but they have had a falling out and they both miss each other. I love their relationship and am hoping they will get a happy ending at the end of the series,
I received the book from NetGalley and Second Sky to review.
