This is the third book in the Sissy Sawyer mystery series. Sissy Sawyer is a psychic who counsels people by reading the mysterious DeVane cards. The cards, which are similar to Tarot cards, have much more detail and are quite creepy and sinister. Sissy's step-nephew brings his girlfriend Lillian, nicknamed T-Yon, to visit and to discuss the disturbing dream she has been having. After a confusing and upsetting reading of the cards it becomes apparent that the problem lies with the old hotel, T-Yon's brother Everett has refurbished that is soon to open in Baton Rouge. Sissy and T-Yon travel to Louisiana and discover that strange things have been happening in hotel. Fresh blood stains appear in unused rooms, a maid and a police officer disappear, and threatening ghosts haunt T-Yon. While this is going on Everett is trying to prepare for the hotel grand opening which may be delayed or cancelled altogether because of the disturbing events. The last third of the story is blood & guts gory. I don't normally read books like that. But the creepy goings on had me hooked and I had to see how it would end. The first two books in the series were not this graphic and I wonder what book four will be like.
