Ten years after Eloise Montgomery discovers her psychic abilities, she is a full-fledged working psychic, with a partner and a business. Now, in The Burning Girl, she’s discovering some disturbing things: secrets about her genealogy that are, perhaps, best left in the past; that her granddaughter Finley has powers of her own; and that not all of Eloise’s visitors actually want to be helped. Some of them are just looking for trouble…

The Burning Girl is the second of three original short stories that comprise an e-novella, spanning thirty years in the life of Eloise Montgomery. The first story is THE WHISPERS, and the third story is THE THREE SISTERS. Its tendrils reach back to FRAGILE, the novel in which Eloise first appeared, and ahead to CRAZY LOVE YOU.

My Review:

I am usually not one to jump right into books with psychics or about the subject, however, I have found that I absolutely love this short story series!!

The Burning Girl is book #2 of The Whispers series, and finds Eloise Montgomery, several years after discovering the whispers and her "psychic abilities". I fell in love with reading about this family after the first story, so I was slightly disappointed to read about so much lapsed time since the first book, almost twenty years! Disappointment aside, for a short story, Lisa Unger quickly delivered a great mysterious short story, leaving nothing out!

It's hard to find a good short story, but I believe Lisa Unger has mastered the ability to write them! I love this series and can't wait to read the last of this short story series, The Three Sisters!
