Come Home, Katie: A Dear Celeste Novel

Dear Celeste, Book 1

By: J.R. Erickson

Narrated by: Robyn Maryke

What if you died and brought the dead back with you?

A terrible hit and run accident took Celeste Cleary's life until doctors managed to bring her back. But now she's... different. Once a respected scientist, she walks the thin veil between the living and the dead.

As she struggles to return to her former life, Celeste receives an email-a heart-wrenching letter from a stranger, a woman begging for help locating her seventeen-year-old sister, Katie, who vanished a year before.

Celeste's first impulse is to say no-what does she know about finding a missing person?

But late one snowy night Celeste is drawn into the forest where the spectral form of Katie awaits her and, though the girl does not speak, the message is clear. Katie wants Celeste to uncover the truth behind her disappearance.

As Celeste delves into the mystery surrounding Katie's vanishing, she is ensnared in a sinister labyrinth of secrets and lies. Someone doesn't want her to find out the truth and there's nothing they won't do to stop her.

Get lost in a dark paranormal mystery that blurs the lines between reality and nightmare.

keep me listening

great story and narrator reall interesting really kept me listening didn't want to go to bed

The webs we weave

JR Erickson always hits. Fantastic story with fantastic narration
I liked that the main character had no idea in the first part and made that clear. Can't wait for the next one

love this book

all of it I liked it all it's a great book By a great author

Celeste is a very unlikable character

The story had the potential to be really good, but the character of Celeste was extremely unlikable. At first, she was someone you would have sympathy toward, but she later showed that she was selfish and uncaring toward those who loved her, including her husband. She lied to him constantly, and showed that she didn’t care at all about his feelings. Especially the incident with the tattoo. I was hoping by the end of the book the situation would be resolved, perhaps she would have gotten it removed, but it wasn’t. Incredibly disappointing, especially since I have always loved JR Erickson’s other novels.

There's just no way around it... JR Erickson is my FAVORITE author

I read this book when it was initially released and then couldn't wait to listen to it. The narrator did a great job- and that's very important to me. This book is full of mystery, creepiness, paranormal activity, murder & lovable characters. I LOVE the combination of NDE's, murder mystery, psychic abilities and ghosts. I can not WAIT until November to see where this book left off.

Near death experience….

After Celeste suffers a near death experience and receives the sight, she ventures to a small town in Michigan to help a girl find her missing sister. Once again, JR Erickson leaves you wondering until the last minute who did what.

WOW

Excellent from start to finish! one of my favorite books from this author for sure. The mystery kept you hooked, characters were relatable, and narration was perfect. I did not want this book to end. Really looking forward to the next one.

The mystery kept going!!

I have listened to several books from this author and I really like most of them! This particular book kept me interested and I admire the authors attention to detail! Also good use of characters! I like it so much I am writing a review! I have listened to over 200 titles and given only a handful!

Wow awesome

This was such a good book I was guessing who and who until the end then I knew but I didn’t see it coming!!! Definitely recommend reading! I am starting the second one of this series now and I can’t wait!!!

Good read

Eventhough I figured it out very early on, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely worth it.
