Fresh Fiction Review

A Barricade In Hell
Jaime Lee Moyer

Reviewed by Debbie Wiley
Posted July 17, 2014

Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural

Several years have passed since the events of Delia's Shadow, and Delia has continued to learn more about her mysterious gift to see ghosts. Delia has settled into married life with Captain Gabe Ryan, but now another ghost has started threatening their well-being. A young girl has appeared and seems focused on Gabe. Delia will once again turn to her mentor, Dora Bobet, for assistance, but will it cost them everything? And does the ghost have anything to do with Gabe's latest case?

A BARRICADE IN HELL is the second book in the Delia Martin series but can easily be read as a standalone. Several years have passed between the events of the two books and so the relationships have changed slightly. Jaime Lee Moyer provides readers with all the necessary history, including the recent updates, for a new reader to follow both the storyline and the bond between the various characters.

Jaime Lee Moyer knows how to write one heck of a ghost story! Moyer's ghosts have just the right blend of eerie and sadness to draw the reader into the mystery, while keeping us on edge. I love the setting of A BARRICADE IN HELL and the way Jaime Lee Moyer weaves tiny historical details into the context of the series. A BARRICADE IN HELL is a spectacular blend of the paranormal and a detective investigation. I highly recommend A BARRICADE IN HELL!

SUMMARY

In Jaime Lee Moyer's BARRICADE IN HELL, Delia Martin has been gifted (or some would say cursed) with the ability to peer across to the other side. Since childhood, her constant companions have been ghosts. She used her powers and the help of those ghosts to defeat a twisted serial killer terrorizing her beloved San Francisco. Now it's 1917—the threshold of a modern age—and Delia lives a peaceful life with Police Captain Gabe Ryan.

That peace shatters when a strange young girl starts haunting their lives and threatens Gabe. Delia tries to discover what this ghost wants as she becomes entangled in the mystery surrounding a charismatic evangelist who preaches pacifism and an end to war. But as young people begin to disappear, and audiences display a loyalty and fervor not attributable to simple persuasion, that message of peace reveals a hidden dark side.

As Delia discovers the truth, she faces a choice—take a terrible risk to save her city, or chance losing everything?
