Zoey Rivers has an unusual job. She's the Chief of Staff at a retirement home, which doesn't sound odd on its own, but when you consider it's a retirement home for witches and other paranormals, the strange factor ratchets up. And, with a facility full of partly senile but still powerful witches, things go hilariously awry fast.

I will absolutely 100% be reading the next book!
The Forgotten Child by Melissa Erin Jackson is a paranormal mystery. I honestly did not realize how wrapped up in this story I had become until my phone alarm went off and scared me senseless. I literally screamed in my own home! Mysterious ✅ Creepy ✅ Scary ✅
Synopsis:
Riley is an unwilling medium. It has only caused her heartache and pain. Thus far, she has successfully kept it a secret from her current group of friends. Then, they plan a weekend retreat at a haunted ranch. No matter what she tries, she can’t get out of it. Surely, it isn’t really haunted. Right?
Things start getting creepy when Riley realizes that she is seeing people that no one else can see. She can’t even flirt with the most handsome bachelor at the camp without seeing ghosts. Things go wild from there!
After a traumatic weekend, Riley is relieved when she finally heads home, but she doesn’t go home alone. Pete comes with her. He is a little boy who has been trapped as a ghost since 1973. Can she solve his murder and find his body so that he can finally be free? Without knowing where to begin, Riley starts down a precarious path that leads to … some seriously scary reading!
Story Review:
I will absolutely 100% be reading the next book in this series! I loved this book and was thrilled to discover that the next book comes out in May 2021. The audio version will be available in the summer of 2021.
If you want to find flaws with The Forgotten Child, you can find them as with any other book. Mr. Perfect is a little too perfect. The pacing slows down a tad too much here and there. I would still highly recommend this book to another reader.
Some of the “possession” scenes are intense and definitely adult only. Check out the sensitivity warnings below if that concerns you.
I hate scary movies, and I didn’t even know that I liked scary books. I foresee some new reading material in my future!
Narration Review:
The narrators are amazing! Victoria Villarreal and David Clifford Turner bring this story to life with an air of mystery and suspense. I loved them and would listen to them again without hesitation. I am stunned that this is David Clifford Turner’s first book narration. Way to knock it out of the park!
Reading Recommendation:
If you liked this book, you should check out Ruckman Road by Robert Stevens.
Sensitivity Warnings:
The Forgotten Child is an adult book that deals with adult themes. It contains sex, rape, and murder. Through her paranormal connection, Riley experiences the violence perpetrated on the murder victims in this book. It is intense. Readers be warned.

I loved this story. The idea of talking with spirits is creepy but Pete was different. He sure put Riley through a lot of turmoil. Riley & her boyfriend, along with some other friends did a great thing helping Pete. The author did a greeccat job of creating believable & lovable characters. The story kept me turning the pages anxiously waiting to see what happened. I will be reading more from this author. I highly reccomend this book.

Riley Sees Dead People!
Riley Thomas reluctantly gets pressured into going with her friends for a fun weekend visit to a ranch home of a deceased serial killer. The ranch had been turned into a tourist spot for amateur paranormal investigators due to a popular TV reality show. Riley’s friends are all excited about spending a weekend together hearing spooky ghost stories and getting away from the real world of marriage and kids. But Riley has a secret, she can actually see and communicate with ghosts. On the drive to the ranch Riley tries to convince herself that maybe the ranch is all just a fake publicity stunt to make money but as soon as they arrive, she finds out it is all too real. Ripley’s encounter with the ghost of a young boy leads her on an investigation to find answers about his death which puts her into the crosshairs of a killer. If you enjoy ghost/paranormal stories you will really enjoy this audiobook. Narration by Victoria Villarreal and David Clifford Turner is excellent. I hope the author continues the Riley Thomas storyline… I’m looking forward to her next book.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Couldn't put it down
i don't know why I haven't listened to this book sooner, I've had this book for a while now in my library but hadn't gotten into it, but I am happy that I have now.
The book is really good, it engages you from the begging and wraps you up into the unfolding mistery, you will find yourself trying to make sense of everything and put together all the evidence to hopefully find out what comes next.
Riley is such a great character and I loved her and her amazing group of friends. I also enjoyed that great relationship she starts with Michael, they're so cute together, and me being a romance reader it's great to find a bit of a romance in every book.
As for the narration, it was fantastic, I loved Victoria Villareal she's a fantastic narrator, bringing this story to life, she has great different voices for every character male and female and it's so good.
And the contribution of David Clifford was just the best, it really enhanced the experience of the story and it was done really great.

Phenomenal start to (hopefully) a new series
This is the first book in what I hope will become a series. Riley Thomas is a reluctant medium who had hidden her talents ever since she released a malevelant spirit when she was thirteen. Twelve years later she is persuaded to go on a paranormal investigation weekend at an infamous ranch which was once the home of a deceased serial killer. What could possibly go wrong!
I love supernatural mysteries, but they often leave me disappointed. This was quite the opposite and I loved it from start to finish. This isn't a horror novel, but it's certainly creepy.
Riley is a great character, very likeable and I couldn't help rooting for her. I also loved the character of the Forgotten Child, Pete, though my heart broke for him.
I did find the romance aspect of the book a bit cheesy, but that was such a small part that it didn't affect my enjoyment.
Excellent narration too by Victoria Villarreal and David Clifford Turner made this an excellent listen.

Captivating paranormal crime story
A fantastic story with relatable characters and a cleverly crafted plot which keeps the listeners attention throughout. The writing is beautiful and the pacing perfect. A great performance from the narrators really brought this story to life. Looking forward to more in this series. Highly recommend.

Great read
I loved it. Mix with crime and paranormal. The writer kept me in suspense throughout the story, which meant I just couldn't stop listening to it. Very good choice with narrators. Worth listening to.

Brilliant!!!
I can honestly say that from the start, this book captivated me and the story was so riveting,scary, sad in places and the heroine Riley, I wanted to be on her journey with her as she came into her own as a Medium. It was beautifully narrated and I cannot wait for the next book to follow Riley's journey into whatever happens next!

Thrilling read
This story has a great mix of paranormal and spookiness
Riley Thomas is an interesting character, she tries her hardest to deny her gift but when she spends a girls weekend at a haunted house that once belonged to a serial killer she experiences things that just can’t be ignored.
Great beginning to this story it had me hooked from the start, I loved the chapters that gave us a little flash back into the mind of the serial killer Orion Jacobs.
Of course there’s some romance thrown in but it was the paranormal activity and hauntings that I really enjoyed.
This is a new to me author but I’m definitely going to check out her other books, I particularly want more of Riley Thomas.
