Inspired by a chilling true story...It’s the day of his ex-wife’s wedding when Dan makes the winding mountain journey to a remote cabin for an escape from the life that another man has stepped into.

Less than 48 hours into his reprieve, the forest tranquility is shattered when he looks through a telescope and witnesses the violent abduction of a young woman.

Dan springs into action, but there’s no evidence of an abduction nor reports of a missing woman.

That is, until Dan sees the missing person’s poster for Ivy Trent.

He’s sure it’s the woman he saw get kidnapped just days before. There's only one problem. Ivy disappeared ten years ago.

If you’re searching for a paranormal thriller that you’ll be reading with the lights on, grab Troubled Spirits today-the first in a series of stand-alone haunted mysteries inspired by true stories.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

J.R. Erickson was born in Lansing, Michigan and grew up in Mason where she lived with her parents and sister on a 40 acre pseudo-farm. Pseudo because there was no planting, to speak of, just a hodge podge of creatures from pigmy goats to raccoons. In addition to nature, reading and writing were her major passions and she passed many a summer scribbling horror stories on tattered sheets of notebook paper that her cousins Matt and Jen illustrated.

She graduated from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Psychology and has worked in a variety of fields from weight loss counseling to social work. Writing has always been her first love and she has returned to it at every stage of her life. These days, she lives in northern Michigan with her excavator husband and her endlessly happy baby boy. Life is better when you're surrounded by water and sand dunes.

Paranormal suspense to shock you at every turn
This is a new to me author and I'm hooked. She takes true crime stories and uses them for inspiration for fictional stories. This is the story of Dan, a man on the police force taking a break to get his life figured out. He is staying at the family cabin when he thinks he witnesses a woman being abducted across the lake on the beach. He reports it and learns the woman he describes disappeared many years ago. As he deep dives into the town and who the woman was, he starts to uncover skeletons that want to be discovered. He not only starts to question everyone he knows and meets, he also questions his own sanity because the paranormal isn't looking so unreal. This was a great suspense that had me guessing with the turn of every page. I couldn't deep dive into more in the series fast enough.

Just finished this book and wanted to write this before I got too busy. I realy liked this book a lot. So much so, that I have downloaded the next in line. This kept me guessing the entire time. The characters were awesome, especially the detective. Everyone makes mistakes - get over it! Looking forward to the next one. Would recommend to family and friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great first book in this paranormal thriller series

Dan is a police detective suspended for getting too personal with his case of a missing girl. He travels to his brother's cabin looking to wind down, but he finds himself tangled in the cold case of another missing girl. He sees a vision through a telescope of a crime which happened ten years ago, and as he digs into Ivy Trent's disappearance, what he uncovers could get him killed too.

This is the first book in the paranormal thriller series, Troubled Spirits. The writing itself is very good. Excellent details but they don't bog you down, and a perfect pace that doesn't loses tension. It wasn't scary enough to give me goosebumps, but as a crime thriller, I really enjoyed it. Make no mistake that Dan is a flawed character, but he still wants to do what is right. I liked the cast of characters and the line of suspects. A few nice twists, and while I did guess who the murderer was, it was a fun ride getting there.

This book was so good! I emotionally connected with the main character right away. I loved the atmosphere of the book. It flowed seamlessly from creepy haunting to murder mystery and back again, and at least part of the ending was a total shock to me. I will say that the psychic guy Detective Webb visited seemed like a filler chapter, as it went nowhere, but otherwise, it was a great book.

More of a mystery than a ghost story even though there was one. Well developed characters.
Steady pace. Held your interest until the end. Some twists toward the end. Enjoyed the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Captivating Journey into the Supernatural!

Dark River Inn: A Troubled Spirits Novel had me utterly enthralled from start to finish! As an avid fan of supernatural fiction, I was pleasantly surprised by the author's ability to weave a story that effortlessly blends the eerie and the heartwarming. The characters felt like old friends, each with their own unique quirks and struggles. From the moment I stepped into the atmospheric world of the Dark River Inn, I was hooked.

The pacing of the novel was expertly managed, keeping me on the edge of my seat as the mysteries unfolded. The author's descriptive prowess truly shone, painting vivid landscapes and eerie occurrences that sent delightful shivers down my spine. The intricate web of past and present, mingled with a touch of the supernatural, kept me guessing at every turn. This is a book that challenges you to think and feel, and I found myself both pondering the characters' dilemmas and hoping for their eventual triumph.

In a genre often filled with clichés, Dark River Inn stands out as a refreshing and engaging read. With its masterful storytelling, relatable characters, and a perfect balance of chills and warmth, this novel is an absolute must-read for anyone who craves a touch of the supernatural in their literary adventures. I can't wait to explore more from this talented author and immerse myself in their captivating world once again!

A good slightly spooky murder mystery that has some good characters and a good story. The mystery is not too hard to figure but not super obvious either.

Suspended from duty Dan goes to his brother's cabin for some R&R and it turns out to be what we call a busman's holiday. An abduction he sees through a telescope at the cabin turns out to be a past event, was the telescope a portal to the past or is Dan sensitive to the case as his suspension is for a similar offence where he became too involved and slept with the victim's mother but enough of that. He sees the abductee Ivy on a poster and is drawn to investigate her disappearance unearthing a connection to the Dark River inn practically next door to the cabin which incriminates the owners in a hit and run killing of her father and his own brother in her abduction and subsequent murder. The detective side is good as is the spooky stuff which is not too overpowering and Dan is not a super sleuth cracking the case as he finds at the end. Perhaps he is too trusting of women and needs to realise they are probably more devious and ruthless than he would like to think.
