There's no rest for the haunted.

If someone had asked Zoey Hawthorne eighteen months ago to describe her life she would have said it couldn’t be better. Perfect marriage, booming business, and best of all, her son was alive. Today she’s divorced, unemployed, and pissed at the universe for taking her child, a loss that’s cracked her soul in half. To date, she’s addicted to pain meds and anger, with no intention of turning back. 

When Zoey inherits a ranch in rural Colorado from an estranged great uncle, she leaves Chicago behind to self-destruct in peace. But lightning changes her plans. Zoey is struck and left with an extrasensory gift that lets her see one more problem on her hands: vengeful spirits haunting her land. To stop the cycle of death rampant on her property, Zoey must solve a fifty-year-old mass murder while keeping her hot lover from melting her armor. She’s tough enough for the task--provided she isn’t killed in the process.

Newlyweds Lydia and Chase Tanner, along with their cat Feodora, move     into an old house in Darling, Ohio. Lydia's eager to start a family, but her womb isn't cooperating. Furthermore, her house is haunted, and something indignant is rifling through her memories.

Simultaneously, a spirit over a century old researches Lydia. The ghost's repressive era and strict upbringing prevented her from exploring the world, so from her new vantage point, she studies the living. She's learned to penetrate cellular memories and experience the life of her host, with one catch--they exchange memories.

Initially both women find comfort in each other's pasts, mending emotional fractures and escaping in one another's unfolding stories. But when secrets surge that anger the ghost, Lydia finds herself on an unpaved road of no return.

Reviews:
"a gripping paranormal edge...There are some interesting takes on both secrets and the afterlife...an engrossing read..."
-4 Nymphs from Sphinx Nymph, Literary Nymphs Review

"Lorelei Buckley is an author, whose works I would like to read more of. She did an incredible job of creating characters to whom I was drawn. They were interesting and complex. She gave not only the main characters, but even and especially the lesser characters, depth through her detailed description of their histories; their current circumstances; and their internal struggles, which included their relationship with each other. I cared what happened to them. The intriguing outreach between this and the "other side," was done thoughtfully and respectfully. There was enough mystery of the unknown and the possibilities life and the afterlife might hold without being hokey or sophormoric. It was all very well done. The intriguing end of the story has me hoping for a sequel. I want to know what happens next. After seeing Nora Roberts, made-for-television series, I can hardly wait to see "From the Other Side" on screen. Whether movie or TV offering, as the story unfolded visually, it would be even more amazing. Brava, Lorelei! Encore!"
-Diana Lee

"Read your book "From the Other Side" and I loved it! I ordered it on my Kindle from Amazon. Once I started reading I could hardly put it down. I loved all of the characters, except for the villain:) It was so believable; I couldn't wait to find out what Lydia would experience next. The ending was a SHOCKER!!! I was not prepared for that! I do a lot of reading and I have to say I would put your book at the top of my list. I am looking forward to reading more stories that you may write. I am definitely a "FAN!" Keep up the good writes..."
