History at your fingertips can be a dangerous thing...

Gia has a gift, according to some. For her, it’s more of a curse she can’t break, no matter how hard she tries. Rather than wallow in her frustration, she uses her ability to help others.

When the talented forensic reconstructive specialist is summoned to reconstruct skulls of three plane crash victims, her abilities reveal something peculiar is at play.

Determined to unravel the clues and bring this case to a close, she’s forced to take drastic measures to expose who or what’s behind the mystery and why. As pressure from the outside mounts and expectations grow larger, danger draws nearer. Someone wants to sabotage the investigation and will stop at nothing to make sure no one, including Gia, will ever reveal the truth behind what happened.

Do You Wanna Live Forever?
This is a unique and very interesting book! It's a real suspenseful page turner!
Space Cowgirl, January 2019


An absolutely great read
This has got to be one of the best reads I've had in years. The plot was amazing. The premise was a hit out of the park. The Characters well developed.
Walt B. September 2020


Excellent Read
I truly enjoyed this book. Imagine placing your hands on a shill for reconstruction and see what the person saw as they died. I would have liked the ending tied up better but it was still an excellent read. I would recommend this book.
Della, May 2020

Two soldiers👹🔪 from the time of Alexander the Great, begin a life of murder and rebirth, over and over. They kill their way through the ages until present time.

Present time. At 60 years old, It's time for one of them to transit into a younger body. It's the body of a wealthy Spaniard, a nineteen year old son of Carlos Mora, who unwittingly drinks some of the soldier's blood in a coke.
At the same time, Gianna💃, a young woman who is a 💀skull💀 reconstruction expert, a forensic anthropologist scientist, finds out she has an unwanted physic gift. When she handles a human skull💀, she learns all about that person and what happened to them.
She tries to stay with ancient skulls💀 but her boyfriend, an FBI agent talks her into going to Sarajevo to reconstruct faces from four skulls💀 found in a ravine. They are from recent years, and she is deeply traumatized by their hideous deaths.
One of the ancient soldiers👹🔪 has rigged his current death in an airplane accident off the coast of greece. He transfers his body into that of the 19 year old son of wealthy Spaniard, Carlos Mora.
His other family, the Greek family, asks Gianna💃 to come to their Greek estate to reconstruct the 💀skulls from the crash, to be certain of his death for his heirs. This man has murdered a lot of people over the years. In order to shift into another body, he has to take the life of another person. A Life for A Life.

ARC Received from Hidden gene Gems.
I also got the book on Amazon for $.99.

This is a unique and very interesting book! It's a real suspenseful page turner! Gianna💃 has done some fibbing in her recent works because she needs money really bad and the descendants dont want to know that their relative is not the person they thought he was. But Gianna💃 knows the truth!
This book is part of a series. I suppose you can label it a cliffhanger, since we don't know what is going to happen between Gianna💃 and young Mr. Mora👹.

I buy this book and also I'm an ARC Reader to Hidden Gems...

Know, Gianna Pontiac specialize as forensic anthropologist. Her advantage...just with a touch of bone, the skull’s owner was reveal, the last moments of their life. Her touch will tell if was natural dead, killed, etc....

Great premise...as a reader I also, research and find some incongruencies set on places but that doesn't took too much from the book as many people doesn't know about.

Gianna is a character by itself & somewhat "naive" for this work. She travels to work with 3 skulls...could she end her job? Someone won't want the job done? Is her life in danger? Secrets are Secrets!!!

The story answers this...to bad is easy to know whodunnit. A more complex story will help Gianna's character. Time will tell if is going to be better.

With a good story-line, great settings and characters, Servant of the Skull is an intriguing and captivating read. It is loaded with mystery and suspense and you never know which way its going to turn. That’s what made it so exciting for me.The author keeps us on edge as Gianna’s everyday life and her skull remaking assignments are transformed into a rivoting and spine-chilling mystery. The scenes move seamlessly from one point to the other and Gianna is confronted with the reality that while some people wanted her alive - others wanted her dead. And would go to great lengths to eliminate her. It’s really a fantastic suspense novel and at the end you must agree with Gianna that “No money can compensate for what I’m going through on this assignment.”

The quibbles I have with this book are tiny, after years of experience as a mortician, there are some cultural intricacies that were left out. The storyline was rather predictable, but well told and great fun. I would have liked to have the jackpot, gotcha moment spelled out in the end, but absolutely know why the author chose not to go there. Some of the detective work was too much of a stretch for a forensic anthropologist, and the character was a bit quick to trust strangers.

I will happily buy more stories with this main character, and explore more books by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anthropological Mystery⁉️ 💀💀💀
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017

As a avid fan of Petrick' Peacetaker Series, I was excited when I had the opportunity to read and review this Hidden Gem ARC. Servant of the Skull is a unique paranormal thriller, a great start to Petrick's new Skullspeaker Series. In Gianna, we have an interesting character who as a forensic anthropologist has been forced to compromise her talent to keep her job. A hidden gift (curse?) allows her to not only know, but feel what a person felt at the moment of death. Past cases have traumatized her so Gianna has sworn off contemporary criminal forensics to work on historical museum projects. As if being strong armed into assisting in verifying the identity of three airplane crash victim, she encounters danger as someone tried to prevent her from uncovering an ancient deadly curse.
Am curious to see what's in store for Gianna in future books

5.0 out of 5 stars A forensic thriller every mystery lover will enjoy. Worth every star!

I thoroughly enjoyed this forensic thriller. The characters were very believable and the storyline realistic. The gift the main character possessed allowed her to recreate the faces of the dead by rebuilding their features on their skulls from clay. This is a very real method law enforcement uses to help solve missing persons and John Doe cases. The added twist of a supernatural ability to see the final moments of the deceased persons life was riveting and the author kept the reader guessing what would happen with each skull that was reconstructed.
This was a great book and I enthusiastically recommend it to all mystery fans!

This has got to be one of the best reads I've had in years. I do hope that this author follows through with Book 2. The plot was amazing. The premise was a hit out of the park. A man that dies and comes back through history. A woman who reconstructs faces from skills with an added talent to connect with the skulls human being. The Characters well developed.

I very much enjoyed this story. The protagonist is an archeologist with a specialty in pottery. She has become one of the world's most renowned skull reconstructor. She has been hired by an unamed party to reconstruct three (3) skulls for identification purposes. A great deal is on the line. One of the skull, is supposed to belong to a Greek billionaire. The confirmation or denial of the identity will permit the reading of his will. Several people stand to benefit greatly.
