is a spirit trapped in her own version of hell with no recollection of her life or death.
Zelda
It sounds like the start of a horror novel or something.
I’m the amnesiac ghost bride who wakes up with no memory of my life or death.
Only one person can see me.
With no clues as to who I am or how I wound up in this predicament, Scott is my only chance of helping to unlock my memories.
It’s not easy. He’s sarcastic and jaded.
But he’s the only link I have to the living world.

Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection Book 1) by Nikki Lynn Barrett was a great read! This book was full of thrills, suspense, twist and turns and romance that kept me reading late into the night and made me not want to stop. This is one of the most interesting stores I’ve read in a while. This is also the first book I’ve read from this author, and I was very impressed with her writing style and story telling capabilities. This book left me wanting more and I can’t wait for the next installment to this series!
I enjoyed this book by Nikki Lynn Barrett. Peaceful Slumber was a story about a ghost with a twist. It was unique and that is a good thing. Peaceful Slumber had it all…love, mystery, and some suspense, everything needed to make a good story. The story of Scott and Zelda was very interesting and I liked it. Nikki Lynn Barrett is a good author and I look forward to reading more from her.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I like stories with a bit of paranormal and love mysteries. I also love the sarcastic banter between Scott and Zelda. While some events of the story were anticipated, there were several twists that I did not expect and it made the storyline thoroughly enjoyable. The basics of the story was unique, and made for an entertaining read. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes paranormal and mysteries.
I thought I had read other books by Nikiki Lynn Barrett, but to my surprise this is the first! I am so excited to have found a new to me author that I like…no that I love! Even the cover is great and I really don’t care about covers!
Peaceful Slumber is a mystery with a little romance, with a little paranormal, with a big adventure! This is a story that I could not put down. I had to know what was going to happen, who was going to do it and why it was happening! Barrett put just enough suspicion in this story that anything was possible.
I love stories that touch on social situations. Barrett has chosen mental health. While it is a very serious topic, her story gives a little hope to those who also suffer. Finding that one person who is your one is hard enough and being anything different makes it even harder.
Zelda is the female main character and Barrett really puts her through every tough situation you could think of. Except Zelda doesn’t remember any of it. Including her own name. Scott seems like the only one that could help her. They are both lost souls who are a little different and they are perfect for each other. However, with so much unknown in this story it doesn’t look like there will be a happy ending.
The storyline is ORIGINAL…at least from my list of books. I really love this story!
I highly recommend this story and can not wait to read anything by Barrett! Since this is the first book in the Soul Connection series, there will be more!!!
Scott had a near death experience when his lovers husband shot him. When he came back he wasn’t the same, he was able to see those that have passed. He doesn’t like his gift and wishes the ghosts would leave him alone, but then he sees Ghost Bride. While at the funeral of his uncle he spots her and is instantly drawn to her. What is it about this ghost that has him wanting to help when he normally turns ghosts away?
Ghost Bride, or Zelda as she is later named by Scott, isn’t aware that she is dead. She has no memory of what her age is, her name, if she’s married with children, or how she even died. There are no clues to follow so piecing things together won’t be easy. How is she going to figure out what happened? Is it some kind of cruel joke that the only person who can see her seems to be a sarcastic jerk?
The character development of both characters was great. I really enjoyed the story line and how things developed. I am definitely looking forward to reading the second book in this series.
After coming back from a brush with death a couple of years ago, Scott can now see dead people. This is not something he is too fond of because once the dead know he can see them, they flock to him. However, at his uncle’s funeral, he sees the ghost of a dead bride in a blood-covered wedding dress. He finds her intriguing and offers to help her find out who she is and how she ended up dead.
Zelda wakes up with no recollection of who she is or how she got where she is. She can see that she is in a wedding dress (which is covered in blood) but can’t remember anything. She quickly finds out that no one can see her, so she must be dead. When she comes across a funeral, she is surprised to find one person who may actually see her. When her and Scott begin to uncover the truth about her past…it comes as quite a shock (to both Zelda and the reader).
Can they uncover the mystery behind her death before she has to move on to whatever afterlife awaits her? And even though they are both in different realms, what is this connection that can be felt between Scott and Zelda?
This is a new-to-me author…but it definitely won’t be the only book I read from them. I found myself pulled into the story from the first chapter. I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) put it down until I got to the end to find out what really happened. There were twists and turns…tears and relief…suspense and mystery…this story has it all. I enjoyed it and will definitely be checking out the rest of the series.
An intriguing, captivating story. Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection, #1) by Nikki Lynn Barrett is a great read. This was my first by this author. Barrett does a wonderful job developing the characters of Scott and Zelda throughout the story, with chapters going back and forth from their perspectives. The connection between the characters, despite literally being from two different worlds, is deeply felt. The story draws you in and keeps you turning the page. I felt parts of this story deep in my gut; it is really compelling and different than other paranormal/romances I have read. I’m excited to read the subsequent books in this series. This was as well written, captivating read.
Peaceful Slumber will have you flipping pages faster than you can blink. Nikki Lynn Barrett has really outdone herself with this “ghost story”. After reading the synopsis of this story i was hooked right away, and Nikki definitely did not disappoint. Peaceful Slumber is an emotional roller coaster ride so make sure you have a box of tissues handy for all the tear jerking moments, but youll have quite a few heart-warming moments and be smiling by the end. But if you want a ghost story full of twists and turns, love, deceit, wonderfully developed characters and a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end then I highly recommend Peaceful Slumber.
After being brought back to life after a close call with death, Scott can now see ghosts. It is not something he relishes in and he tries to avoid the spirits that seek him at all costs. That is until one particular ghost in a wedding dress appears to him at his late uncle’s funeral. Not having any memories of who she is, Scott works with her to figure out who she is and how he can help her. I really enjoyed this book. Both the main characters are likeable, and you really find yourself rooting for the. The plot is beautifully written and well thought out, there is lots of twists and turns to keep you interested but the main focus of the story is still there. I was intrigued to find out about Scott’s part and why he had such a connection to this ghost in particular. Seeing both characters develop over the book was particularly exciting. A great read
Scott has died before. When he is brought back to life, he has a side effect. He can see ghosts. He usually ignores them until he sees a bride in a bloody wedding gown. He tries to help her find out what happened and his life is permanently altered.
Opinion
I was a huge fan of the show Ghost Whisperer and still love the paranormal. This book certainly called to me. I completely enjoyed this story as it told about Scott and Zelda. Some of the parts of Zelda’s story were quite a shock. This is definitely a great romantic suspense book.
Peaceful Slumber is the first book in the Soul Connection series by Nikki Lynn Barrett.
This story took me well out of my comfort zone. After literally facing death, for a few minutes at least, Scott’s life changed forever. Everything he knew, or thought he knew, has been turned on its head. He not only has the ability to see and talk to ghosts, but he finds himself helping to solve the puzzle that will help set someone free.
This book is very well written, it is easy to read and the characters are fantastic. There are plenty of surprises to keep you guessing, and the twists and turns throughout the storyline will keep you turning pages. If, like me, ghost stories aren’t your usual pick I would definitely recommend giving this book a chance.
This is one book I could not put down. I LOVED this paranormal story between Scott and Zelda. I can honestly say I have not read to many books like this but I am so happy I was able to read this amazing story. The characters of Scott being able to see ghosts and he meets Zelda and to help her is just touching. Wow, I cannot wait to see what the next books are in this series! Kudos to Author Nikki Lynn Barrett
Scott and Zelda are connected. She wants to remember what happens he’s her only connection to the outside world. He died for 10 minutes now he has a connection to the Ghostly realm of the undead who haven’t moved on. Throughout time these to gain a stronger connection. They have an amazing journey together.
I’m not normally a paranormal genre fan, but the writing in this story had me hooked. I’ve never read a book written by this author before, however she really carried me on a ride of emotions with her writing. These characters are very interesting, the writing is phenomenal allowing the plot to flow easy. All things that I love in a book. I loved the paranormal aspect of this story as it’s not something I normally seek out. However, this one was intertwined with a mystery and a love story, so it kept me thoroughly intrigued with the ending. I was on the edge of my seat at certain points of this book and was not disappointed with the ending. I highly recommend you pick up this book and read it.
Wow. So I knew by the summary I would be interested in this book. Boy did it ever hold me captive as I flew though the pages. Such an original story. I loved how it moved and the different points of view we got through it all. Very fascinating and original. I really enjoyed it.
This book was a really enjoyable but emotional read. It has all the elements I love in a story, Romance, danger and mystery. The characters were really well written that you can’t help but go through the emotional journey with them.
Scott has a gift or a curse depends on the way you think. After he suffered a near death experience he can now see ghosts. Its not something he wants to encourage so he just ignores them. That is until 1 spirit comes to him for help.
Ghost bride or Zelda as Scott names her arrives into his life. She has no memory of what happened to her, she doesn’t know who she is or how she got there. Together they need to try and piece her story together.
As their journey progresses their connection grows and soon they have feelings neither can deny.
Is Scott falling for a ghost? Is Zelda alive or dead? What is Zelda’s story? Who is she and what happened to her? Can Scott help her recover her memories and uncover the truth?
Peaceful Slumber (Soul Connection Book 1) by Nikki Lynn Barrett is a book full of mystery and paranormal. The lines between life and death seem to blur.
Scott used to be a fairly average person before he died. For a short period, he was able to see ghosts. He sees her for the first time in a graveyard, dressed in a bloodstained wedding gown. No one else is aware of her presence. He seems to be at a loss about how to assist her. A ghost stuck in her version of hell with no memory of her life or death is the one that makes him feel alive for the first time in eons. It almost sounds like the beginning of a horror story. Zelda is an amnesiac ghost bride who has no recollection of her life or death One person can only see her. Scott is her only hope of unlocking her memories since she has no idea who she is or how she got into this condition.
This book has a little of everything. I enjoyed every last chapter. I can’t wait to continue reading the series.
This was such a fun evening read! I have had the pleasure of reading some other novels by Nikki Lynn Barrett but this little gem has to be my favorite yet. This is one ghost story you will not want to miss out on. We get the story of Scott, a man who died three years ago. He may have only been dead for ten minutes but those ten minutes forever changed his life. He now sees ghosts, but a particular one, a woman in a blood stained wedding gown, really calls to him. He ends up naming her Zelda after the game because hello it’s cool, and he is determined to figure her out. Zelda can see Scott, but she doesn’t even remember who she is, no memories to be found. THese two characters suck you in and will make you fall in love with them. I couldn’t put this sucker down and I sure hope we get new stories like this in the near future from Nikki Lynn Barrett.
