I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This is my first read by this author and after reading this I would definitely wants to read more by her. I love that sisters in this series are ghost hunters. They are investigating a spirit that is after their soon to be stepmother. The stepmother things it is her soon to be husband's deceased wife. So the sisters believe that their mother has moved on long go and needs to find out who is really behind these attacks.

Another great volume in the Restless Spirits saga!

The best part of these stories for me is always the interaction between the characters. As in previous episodes, the main cast members return, some minor players are expanded upon, and some new additions are introduced. The interaction between Chris and Ron in this volume is even more sharp, witty and fun than in the previous stories. Not to mention how darling are their relationships with their fellas, Derek and Joe. Their dad, however, is a complete jerk, and I just wanted to smack him through most of the book. Surprisingly, Marsha somehow turns into a real person by the end of the tale, rather than the fake ditzy Barbie persona she espouses for much of the story.

The danger in this volume is probably just as real as in the first two novels, but it didn’t seem quite as scary since it wasn’t exactly directed at Chris this time around. The fact that it was such a powerful force from beyond the grave was quite disconcerting. But the stories behind the mystery were unique, surprising, and masterfully woven together.

This is probably my favorite book yet in the Restless Spirits series. They just seem to keep getting better and better. I do hope the author has a few more stories up her sleeve for us with the Wilson sisters!

Chris is a medium, her sister Ron is a spirit. Their father does not believe in the after life. Their mother has died because of an accident. Chris wants to help those that are being tormented by the spirit world. That is all I can easily explain, the story, is easy to follow, but has many twists and turns, some of the shockingly brilliant! loved this book and will be looking for more books by Jean Marie Bauhaus

Bound Spirits was a first read for me from Jean Marie Bauhaus. I have to say she is an excellent storyteller, I fell in love with this novel and have to read the other ones immediately! The story is unique, fast paced, and unexpected. Chris is so easy to relate too!

I’ve never heard of the author or read any of her books before this book. When I started I didn’t know it was part of a series, it was a good read alone but I feel it would have been a even better read if I would have read the first two books in the series because it would have given a better connection to the characters and provide more of a solid background. This book was good enough that I will get book the first two books and hopefully will come back and update this to a five star. There where a few typos but since the book hasn’t been released yet I figure they have time to correct them. It did not take away from the story. It was a smooth read and I enjoyed it. I loved the relationship Chris and Ron have and I know I would love them even more if I’d read the first two books. If you like paranormal, ghost and family drama and romance this is a good book for you. It’s simple and sweet and not too much crazy going on. This book hasn’t been released yet so read the first two books and preorder this now!
