My favorite Dalby book of all! Releases in December 2023. Set in downtown Mobile, AL in the early 1900s, this juicy story will whisk you away to another time. Jo Wolf flies every night to the cemetery to spend time with her mother as her cat, Midnight, watches over her. She has the ability to astral project. She meets an old woman in the cemetery on one of her visits and learns all things apothecary. I really enjoyed this part as I have begun using herbs and essential oils a lot more in my life.

Jo has a huge crush on Sean Whitespunner who is 10 years older and her hero! He saved her when she was young from a bunch of boys picking on her and they are the reason for her nickname that she would very much to get rid of. Witchy Wolf.

As time goes by she meets a very impressive and beautiful man through her brother and has to determine if she wants to continue her flirtations with Sean or give Cyrus a chance. More than a bit steamy I might add! Delicious!

Will Jo give her heart to Cyrus or fall in love with Sean, who now is chasing another woman? You will have to read to find out. Jo has a few other secrets she can communicate with her brother using telepathy.

This is the second installment in Washington Square Secrets. I have enjoyed both books so far. Oh, and this is especially good because it happens to be dedicated to me and the musicians of Analog Missionary. The best mood music and perfect for this book!

Highly recommended! I hope all of my Goodreads friends will check it out. Already listed on Amazon with the Kindle being $2.99. If you the paranormal this is for you! Can’t wait for book 3 and read more about Jo, her friends, Cordelia and Francesca, and of course where her life takes her. She is a force to be reckoned with as she comes into herself and settles things with her childhood tormentors. alabama arc gothic ...more7 s2 comments L.B. StimsonAuthor 9 books44

Dalby surpassed my expectations once again with the second book in the Southern Gothic Paranormal series: Washington Square Secrets. Book 2 is Alliance and features some previous characters from her other Southern Gothic Saga books but in a new and refreshing way. This new series is a break from the dark family dramas that I have previously read.

I love a creative paranormal story that whisks me away and with the main character’s astral projection and telepathy abilities, I couldn’t put the book down. In a rare feat, I finished the book in two sittings.

If you love a historical setting which Dalby skillfully crafts plus a heavy dose of paranormal with interesting characters, I recommend this book.paranormal1 1 comment C.J. PettersonAuthor 18 books11

ALLIANCE is a novel about life in 1910 Mobile, Alabama—a coming-of-age story with a paranormal twist.

Protagonist Josephine Wolf is gifted with paranormal abilities. Jo and her brother share a telepathic bond, and she astral projects, transporting her consciousness anywhere she wants. She suffers through years of bullying, awkwardly and boldly explores her teenaged sexuality, and then matures into a self-assured, independent young woman. Josephine Wolf is sure to become one of your favorite characters.

As with the first book in the series, DISCERNMENT, the historical details of customs, buildings, and places of the era are exquisitely researched. Although ALLIANCE is book 2 in author Carrie Dalby’s paranormal Southern Gothic Washington Square Secrets series, Dalby has cleverly written this story so that it can be read as a stand-alone novel.
