Suddenly Psychic: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Glimmer Lake Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Elizabeth Hunter (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 7,625 ratings
See all formats and editions
A Paranormal Women's Fiction with a bit of class and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels like age is just a number!

Every woman goes through changes in their forties. Just not… these changes.

Robin Brannon was a normal wife, mom, and antique-shop owner until a brush with death turned her day-to-day life upside down. Now she and her two best friends are seeing things that belong in a fantasy novel. Ghosts. Visions. Omens of doom. Nothing that belongs in the peaceful mountain town they call home.

Added to that, Robin’s marriage is on the rocks, her grandmother’s health is failing, her mother is driving away the customers at her shop, her teenage daughter refuses to get her driver’s license, and her left knee aches every darn morning.

Robin doesn’t have the time, energy, or knees to unearth the secrets buried at the bottom of Glimmer Lake, but fate doesn’t seem to care. Some secrets are just dying to be exposed.

Suddenly Psychic is stand-alone paranormal women’s fiction and the first book in the Glimmer Lake series by USA Today best seller, Elizabeth Hunter, author of the Elemental Mysteries.

If you can describe this book with one word, you'd use the word "enchanting". There is something about it, cosy, mysterious, secret, atmospheric and hidden that just kept pulling my strings.
--Nocturnal Book Reviews

Refreshing. That is the word the came into my mind over and over again while reading this book.
--Maegs in Wonderland, Goodreads reviewer

Elizabeth Hunter's first foray into the world of life after 40 is a slam dunk! I have never felt that my life was so closely represented as I did when reading Robin's perspective on life at 40.
--BrandyG, Goodreads reviewer

[T]his book felt, to me, like a love note to the enduring power of female friendships. And I feel it has the ability to resonate with women of all ages, who've ever found themselves frozen in a pattern, wondering if it is too late to be or do something more.
--Kathryn, Goodreads reviewer

New to me author, and I can honestly say I was impressed and hooked with this book!! I found that the book was hard to put down as I wanted to find out what happens next and solve the mystery.
--Laura, Goodreads reviewer

I cannot wait for this book to come out so I can start foisting it on people. What a ride. Sat down with it tonight and hardly moved until it was finished.
--Samantha, Goodreads reviewer

I give this book all the stars!!!!

Suddenly Psychic was beyond amazing. I will be thinking and talking about it for some time.

The two main protagonists and their relationship failed to resonate with me
Fans of Elizabeth Hunter might hate me, but I had a really difficult time getting into this book for some reason. I was actually quite excited when I first heard about the PWF project, where some of the foremost PNR authors have banded together to write exciting paranormal tales featuring kick-ass women in the middle of their life.I have read (and enjoyed) books (including romance novels) featuring older protagonists, among them Hunter’s Grit, so it’s not the age factor. One of the problems for me was that I felt the book was getting off to a slow start, additionally, it’s the first book in a trilogy, centered on three women friends living in a small town that all go thru various difficulties in their life. But they have each other and when, during one of their get-togethers they experience a traumatic accident, they come away from that with psychic abilities of different kinds. At this point the books jumps between the narrative perspectives of the three women protagonists as they grapple with their newfound abilities, which I found kind of distracting.Although I really liked the idea of focusing on a couple that has been together a long time and that desperately tries to regain the spark they once had, Robin and Mark just didn’t manage to grip me emotionally. I felt far more touched by the love story of Robin’s grandmother that was entwined with the mystery of the book. Sadly, the mystery was not really a mystery for me, as I guessed the broad strokes of what happened early on, so that the second half of the book was just filling in the details and I found the laborious way the book went about it a bit tedious at times.The positive parts were the friendship between the women and the personal growth of Robin, who re-examines her life and manages to make the necessary changes to find her center again and to re-ignite her relationship with Mark.Despite my difficulties with this book I am still looking forward to read Val and Monica’s stories and hope they will resonate more with me. 3+ stars from me.

The pace is just right in this book. The storyline is awesome. The characters are funny, loyal, and fight to track down a viscous wrong, then work to reset the balance which helps the family unity to strengthen. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Robin, Monica, and Val are three close friends and their lives are changing. One has become a widow. One has a child about to leave for college and one in college. One had teenaged kids and a deadbeat ex-husband. Their lives are about to change even more. No, not menopause, though that cannot be too far in the future. The three are out celebrating a birthday when the car ends up out of control and goes into the lake. It sinks fifty feet down. Just as Robin believes they are going to die, a man appears outside the car window to break it open. However later, everyone says they never saw a man. Not Monica or Val or any of the emergency personnel. Robin had no idea why until she learns that the nurse she has been talking to has been dead for decades. Robin might have thought she was losing her mind if not for a few other things. The police say that the car window had been broken from the outside. A man’s skeleton was found in the car’s backseat, complete with a chain around its feet. Monica has been having visions/premonitions since the accident. And whenever Val touches an item, she can now sense its past and those associated with it.

The skeleton and their rescuer turn out to be the same man, named Billy. By touching the chain, Val knows he was murdered and how, but not why or by whom. Curiosity has them investigating only to learn Billy is known by Grandma Helen. Robin has tried talking to Billy about everything, but he recalls little. As Grandma Helen’s health begins to fail, the trio find out that Billy is not the only ghost hanging around, waiting on Helen to expire. But the other ghost is no exactly friendly.

**** FOUR STARS! The story begins slowly and introduces the three friends and their ordinary lives. This story focuses mainly on Robin. Once the trio have the accident and realize their unlocked potential, things take off. Suddenly they are dealing with ghosts, the main one being Billy, investigating a murder, digging into Grandma Helen’s past (and the town’s) and doing it all while taking care of their families.

The author has crafted well developed characters, a vivid history for them and the town, and has even given each lady their own personality. The writing style is easy to read. The story flows smoothly and I felt as though I could identify with each of the three friends. Had they been real, I believe that I could have called them friends. I do not recall ever having read a novel by Elizabeth Hunter before, but I will certainly be reading another. ****

What could be more exciting than three middle-aged besties going to celebrate a birthday and instead nearly dying, receiving psychic gifts, and finding themselves in the middle of a coldest of cold case mysteries? I’ve picked up one of this author’s books before and I thought I knew what I could expect, but Suddenly Psychic exceeded this and delivered so much more.

Suddenly Psychic introduces Robin Brannon. Wife, mom, , daughter, antique shop owner, one-time artist, and now a woman in her forties who is just going through the motions, wondering if her marriage will withstand an empty nest, and pretty sure her kids and husband barely notice she exists. At the point when she is coping with her stale, colorless routine, a trip to a lakeside restaurant for her widowed friend Monica’s birthday with crusty and vivacious second friend, Val, their car goes off the road into the lake and her life is never the same.
The three women come out of the lake with three bizarre abilities. Robin can see and communicate with ghosts, Monica has premonitions, and Val has touch telepathy. They go through all the stages of shock, denial, and then grudging acceptance.
Meanwhile, one of the ghosts Robin can see figures in Monica’s dreams and his body tells Val the man was murdered. The mystery of their ghost and his body that was brought up from the bottom of the lake with her car, sets Robin and the others seeking answers.

Suddenly Psychic surprises one with the added mystery to solve, but it was all one could hope who was looking to see the mash up of paranormal with women’s fiction. Robin is secretly drowning and I loved seeing her slowly start to realize why and to listen to those around her who are trying to help her. She wants a meaningful, loving relationship with her kids and she desperately wants to rekindle her marriage. I was cheering her on through that and even coming to grips with her issues with her mom and that side of her family. I liked seeing her with her besties and learning about their situations, too.

The psychic gifts are an interesting addition and I got a kick out of these middle aged women getting a reset on life and the chance to be daring and interesting with what they now possess even if they get frustrated figuring out how to make the gifts fit into their lives.

The mystery is easy to solve as to the culprit and the villain is a rather nasty piece of goods. I liked sleuthing with the gals and then seeing how they work out the truth with leg work and their gifts and then things coming to a crux.

As I said, Suddenly Psychic exceeded my expectations and really delivered. I want to go on for the other two books in the trilogy featuring her friends and I am definitely sold on the Paranormal Women’s Fic genre with a large dose of mystery to make it more interesting.

This book really impressed me. it's not just because it had a great story, great characters, great pacing, Etc... Because "suddenly psychic" has all of that and more.

As I was reading this book, I realized that the author ... Elizabeth Hunter... has skill. a skill that's impossible to teach, one that only comes after countless hours perfecting one's craft. The seamless way she weaves all the various story threads together to create a tapestry that is both captivating and deep. How we feel like we know these characters and their personalities while only spending a few brief days of their lives with them.

It's how she made over 300 Pages feel like 30.

While I would have loved to have absorbed each book as they came out, I'm quite happy to have found the series when I did. because now I don't have to wait for Elizabeth Hunters next brilliant storytelling session, I can dive right in. you will want to as well!

I loved this book. Although the name of the book suggests it's all about the ghosts, I would have to disagree. There is so much more to this story, and I loved reading it. Three middle-aged women who are best friends experience a life changing car accident. This throws them all into the middle of a huge mystery that they must solve. Each of the friends bring something different into the group. One is married, one is separated, and the other is a widow. There are moments of laughter, there are touching moments when they support eachoter through tough times and their are moments when they kick eachother like only true friends can do. There is also a real feelgood factor that makes this book such a good read.

This is the first book in Elizabeth Hunters Glimmer Lake series. It's part of the PWR project (Paranormal Women's Romance). For the first time in forever, I'm reading fiction about WOMEN. Everything is usually about girls who have just left puberty, coming of age with their 'superpowers'. It's a refreshing change to actually read characters you can easily identify with - even with their own supernatural skills.

In my real life I don't believe in the supernatural/psychic stuff, so reading this book wasn't something I'd usually pick up. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who might be on the fence.

Elizabeth, as always, writes incredibly believable characters. You easily identify with them and want them as friends. I'm looking forward to going on the journey in this genre and reading much more in this world.

What happens, when your favourite author starts a new series? You read it – naturally. But will you like it? That's the question.

So far, I haven’t read anything from Elizabeth Hunter that didn’t capture me from the very first few paragraphs. But when starting a whole new series, I’m always a bit reluctant because it happened with other authors – I was really into one of their series, but found the next one only mediocre. To make it short: I was a bit afraid, because at first, Suddenly Psychic seemed to be so different from her other books, but I was not disappointed and just loved Suddenly Psychic!

Suddenly Psychic is Book One of the new Glimmer Lake Series which circles around three middle-aged women (ok, I had to wince here because I’m 41 myself, and somehow still feel as belonging to the younger adults), their life, their woes – and their newly acquired psychic powers. In accordance with the new book genre #PWF (Paranormal Women Fiction) the heroes of this book are Women (not girls fresh out of high-school), there is a paranormal element and – naturally – it is a work of fiction. And - oh boy - what a great piece of fiction. It contains everything one wishes for in a good book for a lazy Sunday afternoon (or any other free time available, e.g. in the middle of the night because I was at first not able to put the book down once I started reading it). I felt like reading about some of my best friends (and sometimes like belonging to this wonderful group of women) as the problems and challenges they face, the thoughts they have and the solutions they find feel like they could happen to me as well (not included the psychic experiences - but who knows what will happen to me in 2-3 years? Hopefully, I won’t find myself on the bottom of a lake stuck in car - because I’m not fully convinced that their way of rescue will be available to me as well 😉)

Without wanting to reveal too much of the content of this book: Like all the other books of Elizabeth Hunter, this book fully deserves 5 stars and I can’t wait to find out what will happen to the next heroine of the trio. And thank you to Elizabeth Hunter and her other friends who created (or at least named and defined) this new genre for women 40+.
