Soul Seek: A Zackie Story of Supernatural Suspense: A Zackie Story Book 4 (The Zackie Stories) Kindle Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars 562 ratings

Past and present conspire against a killer’s future
In a rambling manor house nestled in the Scottish Highlands, smart-aleck American medium Fia and Psychopomp Zackie find a secret passageway that leads to a long-forgotten clan crypt. Among the moldering old bones is a baby’s fresh corpse. Nearby, a hanged man from centuries past plays the babe a lullaby on his fiddle, but her spirit will not be soothed.

When a suspicious Detective Inspector fingers Fia’s childhood friend for the baby’s murder, Fia and her cantankerous mentor Cam must find the real killer. But harnessing the otherworldly talents of stubborn and independent spirits proves tricky. Conflict among the earthbound souls and dark secrets among the living threaten to derail the investigation.

As they close in on the killer, how will Fia and Cam avoid unwanted attention from the DI when their ghostly collaborators bring answers but raise unanswerable questions?

The Zackie Stories of Supernatural Suspense will appeal to fans of BBC One Ghosts, history buffs who enjoy reaching back in time, and to anyone who has ever loved a dog.


The fourth novel of the ZACKIE STORIES.

    Writing suspense stories in the single dimension of this world is hard enough.
    That is what makes the effort by New Jersey author Reyna Favis remarkable and such fun: Her Zackie stories about a Psychopomp in the form of a Plott hound and her human and ghostly companions takes place in two dimensions with spirits and human engaged in crime solving.
    Full disclosure: I am a mystery writer (just in one dimension) and a member with Reyna in the Phillipsburg (NJ) writers group. I have heard parts of this story.
    In the fourth book in the Zackie series, Soul Seek, American ghost hunter Fia and her entourage are lodged in a manor house in the Scottish Highlands.
    A cold draft leaking from the wall sends Fia down a dark passage to find a dead baby and the spirit of a fiddler James MacPherson.
    The death of the child activates Fia and her human crew to find the cause of the child’s death.
    The fun part of these stories is that their role not just crime solving but soul solving: Fia and Cam and the others, with Zackie, are determined to soothe the worries of the dead who have not passed to the afterlife so they can pass on with Zackie’s help.
    The spirits in these books are not haunting presences but humans lost in a void They had human lives and now have spirit lives that are played out with insight, at time sympathy, and others, scorn, but at all times with a brute honesty.
    The tangle in this involving tale is the sudden alliance between MacPherson and Hannah, the dead, protective and jealous wife of Lucas Tremaine, a producer of a ghost chasing reality TV show, and Fia’s love interest.
    Hannah is the kind of spirit who in full pique drains the batteries of the humans’ vehicles.
    The interplay between the humans and the dead in Soul Seek is delicious, at time hilarious and drives the story forward.
    Two scenes to ponder.
    In one, Hannah, MacPherson and baby Lorna are in the hallways of the manor filling the house with screaming and yelling. Cam orders all concerned to be quiet as Zackie calms the dead child, telling them all to stop shouting or they will wake the baby.
    Think about that a moment.
    The other scene takes place at the crossroads that has played a prominent part in a previous story.
    This scene shows Favis at her orchestrating best.
    The TV production crew is terrorized as something unseen smashes their vehicles.
    That unseen presence is Sigurd the Mighty, back in this world to terrorize. Along with him is Modwen, his daughter, angry with Sigurd because she was sacrificed at the time of his death to provide him companionship.
    The bickering between the two is as modern as any teen-age daughter/father dispute.
    Add Hannah to the mix, talking to both the humans and the dead, and then the humans talking among themselves and conversing with the dead and the scene is as fascinating, engaging, horrifying and fun – and as well conceived and written as anything else you might read today.
    This story will haunt you in delightful way

    The whole series has good plots, intriguing paranormal twists, and is well written. I read many books and found myself delaying reading the last book in the series (so far) because I didn't want to get to the end of the series. Some parts are a little spooky, so not good reading for little kids. Also some of the subject matter is on the mature level, but it is handled well. In addition, it is a pleasure to enjoy a book that uses vocabulary and grammar correctly. I hope to read more from this author.

    This is a too short series of fun, mystery,anguish, & resolution. Remember, these occur in order! Read them thusly, rejoice in the snark, & decide for yourself ... It might be wise to consider being a kinder and more generous defender of dogs, people and spirits!
    And, perhaps,to always carry a an extra set of clean underwear and coconut water!

    What a great series and so looking forward to the next book. Do read from the beginning though. Zackie is a hoot through the series, doing whatever she wants regardless. The cast is varied and very interesting, as are the people gathered up from each book. Enjoy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best one yet
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2023
    The first book interested me enough to try the second, and second was better, and so they go, getting funnier, smarter and more interesting as they progress. A big cast of characters, but not unwieldy. My only gripe with this one, is SAS veterans never admit to being in The Regiment, only to serving in the forces. They're not Americans, needing to brag, they simply know they're the best in the world.
    Enjoy the story, my gripe is honestly minor.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2024
    It was such a joy to read these books, can't wait for the next one. There were few grammar or typing mistakes through out, what a welcome change. The stories are amazing and obviously thoroughly researched (I enjoyed reading the references at the end). The characters are unusual to say the least but I have become very fond of them all. Clever books from a clever author. Please can we have some more.
