Intrigued with an elderly patient's tales of a local creek where pregnant women drown themselves, Sam agrees to help end the curse.
Historian James Campbell keeps a vigilant watch on his family's haunted land, hoping to prevent more deaths. A loner in his personal life, he's stunned to discover his grandmother's nurse is the one woman he can't forget.
Sam is a believer. James is a skeptic. With the legend's anniversary looming closer, the two work together to solve the mystery of Crying Girl Creek. Amid the tangles of secrets and lies Sam has a secret of her own: James is the father of her baby. And he doesn't want children..



I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review.

For a ghost story, this was actually pretty good. Though I honestly was a bit bothered by Sam and some of her actions. I really did like how she was curious and did not give up on finding out the truth behind why pregnant women are drowning themselves on a family's land. The author did a great job with giving you little crumbs and then giving you the big finale at the end. It wasn't like fireworks or anything but it was good. I am glad the characters get their happy ending. I loved how it wasn't just a ghost story but also a bit of love mixed in and the way it all intertwined was great. I didn't Sam's decision to not tell James her secret I feel as though that was something that needed to be told. I can see why the author didn't do it but it doesn't mean I had to like it. The characters were perfect for each other as they both had many flaws but they didn't let that stop them from being together. As far as James goes I felt that if he was going to be with Sam he didn't need to have secrets either.
