When cold spots precede unsettling, seemingly impossible events, Rosalind begins to wonder if the stories are true. These strange occurrences soon take on a more sinister edge, but circumstances outside her control force her to stay in the one place she’d like to escape at all costs.
As she discovers clues about what might be lurking inside the library, Rosalind realizes that those who work in the library…may be just as evil as what lives inside it.

The Presence is a suspense thriller. However, it does have elements of a horror story. Initially, all I saw was the horror aspects of the story. The author skillfully injected those aspects that revealed The Presence as a suspense thriller. I have to say it is one of the best I have read in a while, and I hope we can see Rosalind and Eloise (along with Nona) in future stories. This story did not fail in the suspense part as two characters did shine as her possible nemesis. With thought was the whole mystery through which the ghosts were introduced. I would have liked to have known what happened on the first official date of Rosalind and Officer Mateo Cardenas. Perhaps a sequel is in the works!

Great series. Must read.
This book has all of my favorite ideas and creatures. I love this. It can be spooky and creepy but it also has a lighter fun side to it that makes it irresistible. It is short enough that I read it in one sitting and long enough that the story felt complete, even if I do want more from this author! I am looking forward to book 2 of course!

This is the third book I have read by this author and he has yet to disappoint. Mr. Kilgrave is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This is a ghost story mystery that takes place in a small town library. The main character, Rosalind, gets a job at a small library and her boss is a creep. One of her employees is a creep too and seems to hate her for some unknown reason. Rosalind learns the reason she got the job is because the previous employee died under questionable circumstances. The more she learns about the place the more she thinks she has made a really bad decision. Odd things keep happening at the library and people are acting strange. Rosalind has to figure out what is going on before she becomes a new victim of whatever is going on in the library. The book is relatively clean, I don’t recall any profanity. There is no nudity but there is a hint of a possible romance. It is a supernatural thriller so there are a few scary parts so I would not recommend it to children. The book ends, there is no cliffhanger. This is book one in a series about spirits. I have read book five, four, and now one. They all seem to be standalone so order does not seem to be important. This is a fun and interesting story.
