Synopsis: 

“I've never told you the full story... what happens when a Keeper fails...”

Charlie White has felt the ripples of imbalance through the Dream for months now. First, through the traumatised young child, Marie. Then, through the coalescing of frantic spirits on the Great North Road. And most recently, by facing the dangers of imbalanced, betrayed lovers destined for revenge.

She is about to discover where these ripples stem from. Who set them in motion. What they’ve unleashed into the world. And how this will continue to unseat everything in Charlie’s life.

Secrets will be released as yet more spirits drag unresolved memories back from the grave. But will Charlie regret what she discovers? And is she prepared for just how much she’s about to lose?

Review:

"I'd almost hoped... well... I hadn't hoped it was over, I suppose, but it was nice enjoying a normal life. Just for a little while."

As Charlie's journey as a keeper continues, she learns more about how the spirits have become imbalanced. Traveling to Newcastle with her dearest friends, Tess, Trent, and Brent, they visit the beautiful Nobbys Island and the lighthouse.

The island and lighthouse have been beautifully preserved, and the history runs deep. 

Once again Charlie encounters many spirits, but something is quite different this time. The spirits are unbalanced here, unable to move on. There are many different colored spirits, and Charlie must figure out why they are here and how to help them move on. 

Not only is there much confusion, mystery, and the task of keeping the balance, there is a shocking, painful, and life changing loss in the lives of Charlie and her lovely friends. 

Charlie is also in for another major surprise, a very unexpected one, but one that is welcomed.

 

 I love the strength of the characters’ friendship, and I feel like I have walked alongside them through every novel. Watching from a distance as Charlie learns more about her ability as a keeper and developing as a person with an earnest heart. The history of Australia that is included is so interesting to learn about.

 

Each novel has been suspenseful, intriguing, and sometimes chilling, but for me they have all touched my heart in some way as well. This series has been such a joy to read, and I am so looking forward to reading more to come.

"Don't go into the tunnel, or the soldier will drown you."
