Full of mystery, emotion, and a plot that keeps the readers on their toes, I couldn't peel my eyes away. Ms. Castillo, you've got a new fan. I can't wait for more!" - Storm Goddess Book Reviews Four stars "I haven't read a mystery novel in quite some time. This one definitely reminded me of why I enjoy them so much. Lost in the Light is an enjoyable story that flips between the Prohibition in the 1920's/1930's and the present. And who doesn't love a good ghost story! Ghost shows up in your house, haunts you, asks you for favors and basically tells you what to do constantly... gotta love it!" - Lost in Literature "The story is a page turner with old flames, sexy ghosts, family obligations that we all contend with, humor, and bonds with new female friends." - Sandra Ramos O'Briant Four stars "I think that the author weaves a fantastic tale through both worlds and we kind of see Dori evolve and grow through her experience and even able to allow her self to depend on others. I think this book is definitely worth picking up if you like a good historical mystery, with a touch of paranormal and a dash of romance. I will have to check out more of Ms. Castillo's novels in the future." - Ramblings of a Semi Housewife "Mary Castillo has written such a rich and compelling novel...I was pretty much glued to this book. To say I was behind Dori the whole way is an understatement. I love her!" - Whoopeeyoo! Reviews
