 PRAISE FOR LAUREL HIGHTOWER

"Laurel Hightower has climbed effortlessly to the top of my list of authors to watch."-SFF180

"There's a single note that plays though all of Laurel Hightower's Crossroads, and in that note you can hear a mother's justified devastation, a lover's acceptance, and the haunting displacement of a ghost. Refreshingly nuanced character, down to earth in the rightest of ways, Crossroads will sincerely move you. There is a big mind, and an even bigger heart, behind this book."-Josh Malerman, New York Times Best-Selling author of Bird Box and Malorie.

"Crossroads is a gripping, deeply emotional ride. From its very first sentence to its shattering finale, this novella held me spellbound. If you aren't reading Laurel Hightower, you're missing out on one of horror's brightest rising stars."-Jonathan Janz, author of The Raven and Children of the Dark.

My Review:-The story is based around former Detective Cam Ambrose and her daughter, 5-year-old Sammy. Sammy isn't like any other 5-year-old, Sammy sees and has visits from the dead. After the death of her husband Tony, a man she thought she knew but never did, they move from New York to Texas, along with Dimi, her best friend/brother. It's not long before she needs the help of Eric Morgan, the man from next door and Dimi. They start to uncover things and sense there's a lot more to this than you think. That's all I'm says. This book was creepy and full of suspense, that I ended up reading it in one sitting. This is my first book by Laurel Hightower, but it won't be my last.
