​The Promise of Lost Things by Helene Dunbar


​I was thrilled to return to the misty world of St. Hilaire from Ms. Dunbar‘s beautiful
Prelude for Lost Souls, which lingered in my mind long after I turned the last page in 2020.  Romantic, heartbreaking and mysterious, the narrative weaves a potent spell in this extraordinary meditation on love and grief, on what haunts us and what makes us human. Russ Griffin, Ian Mackenzie, Willow Rogers, and Asher Mellon are fully realized characters in all their hopes and flaws.

​It was easy to get lost in their surprising world of vengeful ghosts and troubled mediums, desperate tourists and haunted ghost hunters dealing with love and loss, the lure of revenge and the finality of death. Nothing less than the continued existence of St. Hilaire as a haven for mediums and hope for those wishing to contact the departed hangs on the choices of these four teens. This book is perfect for paranormal mystery lovers and readers looking for a sweet LBGTQIA+ romance.
