Misty Dawn, a former Hollywood psychic to the stars, knows the dark and sometimes glamorous streets of Los Angeles are full of secrets, broken promises, and dashed hopes.
When a young woman comes to her door because she's lost her engagement ring and is afraid to tell her fiancé (the son of one of the world's biggest cosmetics empires), Misty senses it's no accident.
Together Misty Dawn and her psychic charge, Wilson Thorne, must not only sneak behind the walls of the Conroy Estate (aka The House That Vanity Built), but go beyond the veil where the luminaries have laid plans to seek revenge.
Murder, lust, and a quest for a fountain of youth are hidden inside a family's secret, one that threatens to upend the young woman's life, and quite possibly, Misty's as well.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Misty Dawn is a Hollywood psychic (retired) who lives with Wilson Thorne, a Hollywood set designer (deceased) in his home. He hasn't been able to 'pass over' yet, so they've come to an understanding between them to keep peace.
When two young women approach her because one of them, Amy, has lost her engagement ring and is afraid to tell her fiancé, son of a man who has built a wealthy cosmetics empire, she's both devastated and desperate. Misty manages to calm her down and convince her that the ring isn't far and will be returned to her.
But she also senses danger for Amy and tells her to contact her whenever she feels it necessary. But when it leads to murder, Misty is drawn into a web of deceit, lies, malice, anger, and above all, evil - she also discovers that there are two ghosts living in The House That Vanity Built - and if Misty doesn't find a way to help the young woman -- and soon -- her own life could be in danger as well...
This is the second book in the series and I am glad to say that it is just as good as the first. What begins as a case of a lost ring very shortly turns into murder, and Misty is reluctantly drawn into the case, but soon finds she is threatened to leave it alone -- which she won't do, since she's grown fond of Amy and doesn't want to see anything happen to her. She's learned (with a little help from Wilson) that if she doesn't get Amy away soon, it might be too late for her.
But it's not going to be easy, since the police have warned her away more than once, and even when she comes to them when she's followed home, they tell her it's probably just a case of road rage. So Misty is determined to find out who's following her, and who killed the victim since she's positive they have the wrong person.
It's a very good mystery, and we are taken into a a murderer's tangled web of artifice and cunning that attempts to eliminate anyone who gets in their way. In the end, when the murderer is discovered, we are shown just how easy it is to hide the face of evil; and how difficult it is to expose them. I look forward to the next in the series. Highly recommended.
