 Review

Possess My Heart is the third installment of J.A. Howell’s Possess Saga and maybe even my favorite.

After everything that’s happened in Midtown with Harley and Nolan and Ghost Brody, Aggie’s former love, Aggie is starting to feel a little left out and depressed, and it shows. Her uncle Angus and Nolan decide to send her to Scotland to spend the summer with her family. At first, she’s pissed. Why would they send her away if they love her so much?

When she gets to Scotland, the first person she meets is Camden, the half-naked, kilted, drunk lead of a Scottish band called The Wet Willies. Camden is arrogant, rude, sweaty, and just a little too smooth. Until he sobers up and tries to apologize, but Aggie will have none of it. Camden spends the summer trying to break into Aggie’s frozen heart, while Brody continues to haunt her and make it impossible for her to move on. The harder she fights her attraction for Camden, the harder Brody haunts until weird, dangerous things start to happen.

Like I said, this one is probably my favorite of the series so far. Aggie is a fiery piece of work and Camden is the only person who has been able to handle her. Not to mention, Grant, Aggie’s Scottish cousin, is my all time FAVORITE of J.A.’s characters! This one is a must read. It can almost stand alone from the other two in the series. I say almost, because once you read it, you’ll want to read the others.

Review

After reading Possess, I was sooo glad Howell wrote The Untimely Death of Brody. Even though we find out who his killer was, I was intrigued find out the whole story. Brody was full of betrayal and I actually cried when I got to the end. Once again, Howell blew me away with her story telling and ability to emotionally tie me to her fictional characters.

She soon realizes it was anything but that.
Low on cash and options, she manages to find herself a cheap but surprisingly nice apartment. The catch? The last tenant, Brody Walsh, killed himself.
Or did he?
As disturbing dreams and hauntings start to occur, Harley realizes there may be much more behind the previous tenant’s death than a simple suicide. She finds her life further entangled with his when she learns that her new boss, Nolan, was also his best friend. Could this handsome but evasive pub owner have something to do with Brody’s death?
Trying to piece together the events surrounding Brody’s death proves to be a daunting task, but Harley can’t give up. Brody won’t let her. He is still in the apartment with her, trapped in limbo until she finds his killer.
But he’s not waiting for revenge.
Harley’s next.

Review

Harley Martin is a strong woman who escapes from an abusive relationship into a town with a troubled past and a murderer on the lose. When she moves into her new apartment the ghost of one its previous tenants begins to haunt her with freaky dreams and strange things start to happen.

I’m not usually a fan of ghost stories, but Brody stole my heart almost from the beginning, as did Harley and Nolan. Harley and Nolan are both working to recover from their rough pasts. Nolan is drawn to Harley’s backside and she is drawn to his muscular, tattooed manchest.  The secondary characters were well developed and so interesting. Nolan’s best friend Aggie is constantly teasing Nolan about his attraction to Harley.

Possess kept me on the edge of my seat. The story wound an incredible tale of mystery, deceit, suspicion, and vindication. I enjoyed Possess thoroughly and completely.

Interview with Brody Walsh

After writing the first two books in The Possess Saga, I sat down for a chat with Brody Walsh. The
current, resident ghost in Midtown. Here’s what happened.

JAH: Hey Brody! Thanks for joining me today for an interview.

Brody: *narrows his eyes at me then sits up in his seat* It’s my…pleasure.

JAH: You’re still a bit upset about me killing you, aren’t you?

Brody: Ya think?

JAH: Does it help that I didn’t enjoy killing you? Also, I brought your favorite beer. *hands him a bottle of
Smithwick’s.

Brody: Slightly *lets out a grunt and snatches the bottle from me*

JAH: So, you are in both stories. Possess and The Untimely Death of Brody Walsh *pauses as he cringes
at the title* Sorry… I mean books 1 and 2. In Book 1, it’s after your death and we get glimpses of you,
but for the most part only see the things you cause to happen from the other side. I thought the readers
might like to know how you did a few of the things you did.

Brody: Well. First off, until Harley moved in I wasn’t able ta make contact at all. I’m not sure why that
is. She is a bit peculiar as ya well know. Also, in ghost form I tend ta feed off of energy around me.
Unlike previous tenants that lived there briefly before her, Harley also gives off a ton of energy. It kind
of just pulls ya in, and before I knew it I was able ta use some of her energy ta break through back ta
the other side. For example, her seeing me when I looked in the mirror.

JAH: What about the nightmares she had? Those were ones you had of Claire, weren’t they?

Brody: *grimaces * Yeah. The first night Harley moved in, I just sat there watching her. I was a bit
dumbfounded that she actually saw me. I dozed off on the bed next to her –no funny business of
course! I dreamt of Claire and before I knew it I’d somehow made her dream the same dream. After
that…It was a bit more intentional. *Flashes me a mischievous grin* Harley is a bit of a skeptic.
Well…she was. Was a skeptic.

JAH: Yes, she can be a bit hard-headed. Not like anyone else we know. *gives him a pointed look*

Brody: I assume yer talking about Nolan.

JAH: Right… so I know that you had strong feelings for another character, but considering you have been
mostly alone in that apartment for nearly five years then suddenly had an attractive woman move in did
you ever–

Brody: Snuck a peek?

JAH: Um. Yep.

Brody: Not intentionally, no. I try to be a gentleman. But she’s very pleasant to look at and well, I’m
still a man.

JAH: Do you still get those…urges?

Brody: Are you tryin’ ta ask if I still get horny? I’m stuck as a 24 year old man. What do ya think?

JAH: *Blushes * Oh. Let’s um…talk about something else shall we?

Brody: *smirks and takes a drink from his beer* Ya were the one that asked, love.

JAH: *Giggles* So. Things are kind of left in the open when it comes to whether you are still around at
the end of Possess. Will you still be hanging around Midtown for a bit?

Brody: Yep. You can expect ta see me in Book 3. It seems I have some unfinished business to attend ta
*winks*

JAH: I see what you did there.

Brody: Little bit of ghosty humor fer ya.

Here is the last letter of the first password to open a secret episode of the Possess Saga! Trust me, these are really great!
