Afrodyt's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Opaline Duplessi is the daughter of Sandrine from The Witch of Painted Sorrows. She was born with special gifts that allow her to receive messages from people who have passed on through any personal object that belongs to them. Opaline then passes these messages on to the loved ones left behind through creating talismans that give them some measure of peace. Usually, she has to touch an object from the deceased to receive messages from them, but something peculiar happens with Madame Allouette's case. Her son, Jean Luc, begins communicating with Opaline directly. At first Opaline feels like she's going mad but things get real and she starts to bond with the deep, sexy voice of Jean Luc and his presence that she feels like a breeze caressing her skin. 
 This historical romance/ghost story is vibrant in its imagery and heavy with emotion. World War One was a dark period in France's history and MJ Rose captured it beautifully. There is the constant tension of air raids, Russian spies, food shortages and lost or maimed loved ones. 
 The romance between the main characters, coupled with the Magick and mystery surrounding Opaline's intuitive gifts, plus the descriptions of creating the beautiful jewelry she makes, is a recipe for a truly unique experience. I mean, how does one have an erotic encounter with a non-physical being? I loved the way the author built the relationship between the characters. I loved the way this story increased my appreciation of art history.
