"I bought this book at ScareFest and ate it up. I only wish I would have waited for Michelle to come back from her seminar to sign the 3 books I bought from her. 21 short stories of her experiences with the spirit world and her ability to harness energy that are spine tingling at times and at times sad and eye opening. A must read for paranormal lovers!"
"This book contains highlights of her experiences; none of them are particularly spooky - even the episode where a suicide victim unleashes at her in the middle of the night was more funny than scary. Belanger writes well, and seems like a truly interesting person. I'd be interested in reading more of her stuff."
"Interesting -- some stories were creepier than others. I especially enjoyed reading about the old Ohio State Penitentiary, New Orleans and a couple of other eerie spots."
I half expected something dense and full of "crazy", like unicorns healing people and angels giving them money or something.
Each chapter in the book is a different experience Belanger had in her life. If you run to the more skeptic end of the spectrum (and I do) you'll take a lot of this with a grain of salt (and sometimes the rest of the salt shaker, too). The author even encourages this attitude throughout the book. If you're more of a believer then you'll just find this to be a very enjoyable, probably inspirational read.
I can see this being great fodder for someone planning scary Halloween stories.
It doesn't matter what beliefs you have, you'll probably enjoy this book. Belanger has an easy to read style, which is a definite plus. It's not an overly long book, so I blew through it in about 24 hours.
I'd love to see this as an audio book narrated by the author sometime - she has a very good voice and her own cadence would probably add a good deal to the experience.
This really makes me want to check out some of her fiction."
