Publisher's summary

The blood wasn’t real. Her heart hammered in her chest. The blood wasn’t real. She could feel the terror coursing through her veins. The blood wasn’t real. But what if it was hers?

Ever since the nightmares started, Josephine “Josie” Benson’s life had started spiraling out of control. At night, she couldn’t sleep, and during the day she finds it increasingly more difficult to cling to reality. Nothing in her 25 years of life had prepared her for this moment, and, somehow, no matter who she turned to no one had any concrete answers. No one except for the mysterious stranger.

He swears he knows the answers to all of her questions, but how can Josie trust him when he only calls her Celine, a name she has no memory of or connection to.

Can this stranger who looks at her like she has secrets really be trusted? Does he know the reason for her nightmares? Or could he somehow be behind them?

Grayson Buckley can see the physical toll the nightmares are taking on her and it breaks his heart. He desperately wants to help her, to free her mind and awaken her, but he knows it isn’t time yet. He can’t rush this. One day she will awaken, and when she does all will be made known.

When one accident finally reveals the answers she’s been dying for, Josie finds that her life will never be the same. Will Josie be able to accept the truth of her past and the power that dwells within her? Or will she succumb to the evil that now manifests itself in the world around her?

Shadows of the Past

I was fortunate enough to have been given this book in audiobook format! It was great to find that "Shadows of the Past" explains the beginning of Celine, Damien, Grayson, and others from "The Secret of Dunmore Castle". It begins with Josie Benson (Celine) having unsettling nightmares and severe headaches. Baffled by this, Josie, Damien, & her ex. Michael, begin trying to unravel her unusual health problems. Josie receives a beautiful, antique music box from a mysterious man they all believed to be a stalker. The music box seems to be the only thing that provides her with any sense of relief.
Graham Mack does an excellent job retelling the story through his narration. He brings the wonderful characters to life and us able to visually paint the story for the reader. I'm loving becoming acquainted with this series while waiting for more of " The Castle of Dunmore" mysteries. 5+ Stars to both the author and narrator!

Boring

The book is very hard to get into. The main character is a woman, yet the narrator is an old man. The dialogue is repetitive and shallow. I only made it to chapter 7 before returning the book.
